The nineteenth book: #19 The Adventurous Simplicissimus - Hans von Grimmelhausen
I'm not sure where to go with this book. It's another travelogue of sorts, a long meandering story of someone's life and travels, including a bunch of exaggerated happenings. Here, a decent part sounds plausible, but it all doesn't quite ring true. It's fine for fiction, but the minor note that this is partially biographical makes it feel a bit off.
For a large part it reads well, but there are sections that can drag a bit, when it gets too technical... or goes into another campaign. Yeah, he travels all over the map, and in a way that makes sense, but sometimes it can be a bit much. It's also a bit self righteous at times.
Still, those are relatively minor niggles. For the most part this is a good, fun read.
