✅ Science Nonfiction Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud 04/04/2017 ★★★☆☆

10/24

Update message 27:

Novella: Makkelijk leven by Herman Koch

This book is the Book Week Gift 2017 in the Netherlands. Once a year we have a bookweek, and every year another Dutch or Flemish writer is invited to write a novella that is a gift for everyone who buys a Dutch book during that week.

I was wondering wheter this is typical Dutch or are there other countries with similar customs?
