Smashwords Interview

Who are your favorite authors?
They change. Although I've never met an author I didn't like (this is probably because I've never actually met an author). At the moment I'll go with Philip K. Dick, Hunter S. Thompson and Alfred E. Neuman. You know, guys like that.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
I don't have five favorite books. I have one favorite book. It is always the one I am currently reading (if it wasn't my favorite book I wouldn't be reading it). I can give you five random favorite books of mine from the past if you would like, however.
The Man in the High Castle. Why? The dystopian schizophrenia.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Why? The Samoan lawyer.
Großer Bruder Maxi Hase. Why? The pictures.
Lucky Jim. Why? Dixon's public lecture.
V. Why? The alligator.

Have you ever ordered cheese made of liver? Have you ever told your cab driver your hotel is located on One-Way Street? I doubt it. But foreign speakers trying to speak German say bizarre things like this all the time and I, for one, feel their pain. Acutely, even. They are unintentionally speaking Dumb Deutsch. And they have no one else to blame but themselves.

Sure, you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know about Germany and the Germans. After all, every school kid knows that Germany is the land of circulatory disorders, Turkish döner kebab, naked sledding competitions and David Hasselhoff. But Germany is more than that. Much more.

Take a deep breath for Climate Crisis Fun Fact Number One: There is no Climate Crisis. Nor is the weather your fault. Yes, the climate is changing but it has nothing to do with CO2. This book is a modest collection of well-documented facts and informed observations that might just change your perspective on the mass climate hysteria raging around the world today. "Consensus" is a political term.
