It is a bit surprising that so many people still buy “real” reading material despite increasing digitization. On the other hand, it is also a good sign that so many readers still appreciate a good book. For this reason, you can now find the stern orderers for the print editions, which are published every Thursday, online. Here are the fiction and nonfiction bestsellers of March 2023.
The 38-year-old from the Bremen catchment area is a permanent guest on this glorious list. After crisp titles like “Heavy
Its subtitle reveals why this guide only starts in March, long after the New Year’s oaths: “Overcome diet hurdles and lose weight permanently”. Our inner critic, who once again acts as if he doesn’t know the problem at all, just calls out: “Well, then put the hurdles on the track for real, then you’ll lose your kilos quickly!” With which we find the mean guy so shitty that the chips for Saturday evening are set here. With the utmost conviction. Here is the book.
During the interview in London, Richard Osman told us his favorite joke. It goes like this: A woman walks into a pet shop and sees a beautiful parrot that is being sold for only £50. “Why is it so cheap?” she asks the owner. “Because he grew up in prostitution.” The woman buys it anyway. Hardly at home, the bird croaks happily: “New puff, new puff mother!” The woman is mildly shocked. In the afternoon, her two teenage daughters return from school. The parrot trills: “New whorehouse, new whorehouse mother, new girls!” Now horror is on everyone’s face. In the evening the father comes home from work. The parrot screeches, “Hi, Keith, are you back again?” Here is the book.
After a cover story on Bas Kast’s new guide, we received numerous angry letters: it was irresponsible to suggest experiments with magic mushrooms to depressed people, the stern should not have been involved. However, this was exactly the subject of the interview, because the substances have not been sufficiently researched and are therefore not yet approved. And because they harbor risks in the case of psychoses in the previous or family history. Bas Kast, he promised in an interview, wants to draw more attention to this in the third edition of the bestseller. As it seems, it is certain. Here is the book.
Everyone buckle up! In volume six of Youtuber Patrick “Palle” Mayer’s Paluten series, the hero becomes a racing driver, and somehow it’s about talking cars. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for us to go deeper into the content, his underage fans would have to step in, their heads are still quick enough for the most infantile silliness. Those fans were also mighty surprised when their 35-year-old, Palle, announced his engagement in late December. We didn’t even know he even had a girlfriend! Who the lady of the heart is remains a secret, on Instagram you can only see a fat pair of glasses on a delicate hand. 360,000 minors liked it. Kai Pflaume also congratulated: “Only love counts.” And now put your foot on the gas pedal! Here is the book.
The writer of these lines freely admits that she came from a deeply Protestant area where the main religious disputes between the Reformed and the local Lutherans took place. From afar, the Catholic Church was seen primarily as a very idiosyncratic group of people who tended to be superstitious. And even if this picture has been corrected over the years: Based on everything we know about the Vatican, wouldn’t it have been a good deed to simply leave this book, which in all seriousness proclaims “truth”, in the store? Here is the book.
Do your joints crunch because the cartilage wears off over the years? Complete nonsense, said Liebscher and Bracht in their bestseller “The Arthrosis Lie” and advised doing gymnastics away from the pain. That helped many, which is why the couple is expanding their success guide by guide and sending the readers to “pain-free paradise” in the new self-help book as well. But as it is with the paradisiacal conditions, there is a catch: for many exercises you need the expensive Liebscher-Bracht accessories, such as fascia massage rollers. Does it bring anything? Whoever hopes rolls. Here is the book.
“Ching Chong Chinaman, aren’t you wearing any pants?” That’s how it once sounded nasty from a German child’s mouth. This one was a bit more cultivated: “Three Chinese with the double bass / sat on the street and talked to each other. / Then the police came and asked: What’s that?” Is revenge now coming from the Middle Kingdom? There, as we read in the thriller by the Austrian Marc Elsberg, they send giant black drones into the sky to seize power over the global climate and en passant control the amount of precipitation. At this point, we would like to give you, dear readers, a greeting from kindergarten for the weekend: “No more rain, wind and storms / people are not earthworms after all!” Here is the book.
Forza, finally a noodle in our cultured potato stew! Strictly speaking, Giuliano da Empoli is just a noodle, as he was born in Paris as an Italo-Swiss. He just studied in Rome and made it to the position of chief adviser to Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. He founded his own think tank in Milan, which sounds gloriosissimo, but seriously, aren’t we all powerful think tanks? But now to the point: the 49-year-old’s novel, which was nominated for the Prix Goncourt, takes us to the heart of Russian power, into the mind of Vladimir Putin and is unanimously praised by critics as the key to understanding the war of aggression against Ukraine. We agree with that, namely Flotti Galotti. Here is the book.
101 Dalmatians, 101 years of Queen Mum, 101 Depeche Mode concerts on the “Music for the Masses” tour, 101 criminal proceedings against climate glue in Bavaria: Some things are coincidental, some calculations. But there must be something to this number. Even US bestselling author Brianna Wiest didn’t want to limit her self-help guide to 100 essays. It could have ended well with the chapter “Stop chasing happiness”, but no, one more thing is possible! That’s why we get to know the term “Metanoia” in her last text, which means something like “fundamental change in one’s own thinking”. We’ve learned quite a bit now. Here is the book.
