    You know there’s something out there, something bigger than the mundane world, and you’re trying to figure out what it is, and how you relate to it.

    Some literal translations of the books’ names into English. They are unlikely to correspond with the real English titles, but might be enough for guessing what books these are in other languages.

    Das ABC der Rollenspiele – The ABC of role playing games
    Die göttliche Komödie – The divine comedy
    Liegt die Antwort in den Sternen? – Does the answer lay in stars?
    Eine kurze Geschicte des Universums – A short story of the universe
    Der Außenirdische ist auch nur ein Mensch – Even the extraterrestrial is just a human
    Ihr habt keinen Plan - darum machen wir einen – Youse have no plan - that’s why we’ll make one
    Kosmologie für Füßgänger – Cosmology for pedestrians
    Was hat das Universum mit mir zu tun? – What has the universe got to do with me?
    Sieg der Blödigkeit – Victory of stupidity
    Unberechenbar – Unreliable
    Die Zukunftsformel – The formula for future

    Hey, you have the whole Divine Comedy, instead of cheating yourself by just reading the Inferno part of it.

    I’m not even religious, but that’s one of the best books I’ve ever read. One of the greatest endings of all time. The translation matters though. My copy is a great translation.

    It says you’re German and a big fan of Harald Lesch. I have no idea about the actual content.
