September is my most favourite month of the year. After all the studying and exams are over, I can finally relax and spend my precious time reading the books I like. During the semester I read quite a lot, but it is never for pleasure. This September I spent a few days on the island of Mallorca and half of my suitcase was filled with books I was planning to read.
Every morning when I got up I picked one of these books and I walked down to a little café at the harbour. While the waitress was serving coffee after coffee, I devoured page after page. First I finished a great book called 'The Aftermath' by Rhidian Brook. The story is about a British colonel who lived and worked in Hamburg after the Second Word War. After that, I read a collection of modern poems. Unfortunately I couldn't finish the last book 'Born to run', an autobiography of Bruce Springsteen. It is a long book and my holiday had come to an end. The book promises to be a good read as it starts very well, telling the story of Springsteen growing up in New Jersey in the 1960's. Now I must wait for another ten month until I have time again to finish the book and find out how one of the world's greatest rock stars made it to the top.
