Sternenriff (Brightness Reef) by David Brin

The Copper Promise by Jen Williams. It was in the used book bin for 50p. Cracking good swords and sourcery read.

The Copper Promise? Man, how cheap! I expect at least silver, or even gold!
Good to see, that Karl May is famous not only in Germany. With his view on other people around the world and his morale he was clearly ahead of his time. Of course, he was a bit insane, but you know: genius and insanity lie side by side! :-)

Article: 100 Jahre "Stinnes-Legien-Abkommen" - Eine traurige Veranstaltung von DGB und Arbeitgeberverbaenden. by Hermann Zoller
About the 100. anniversary of the "Stinnes-Legien-Arrangement".

In Indonesia, it was also translated as "The Black Mustang". Karl May books got quite a lot of fan here in my country and it was also a part of my childhood.

Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town by Stephen Leacock cut in line before the 15 Dogs.

I found the collection of short stories funny enough to mention it.

The setting is supposed to be a generic Canadian small town.

Among others the stories include:
- A steam boat that partly sank, but sailed with no issues a little while later (I still can't quite figure out how XD ).
- A young man with a love that seemed so hopeless he contemplated suecide 5 times in the same week, but didn't carry it out. He did stop a bank robber and got married to his beloved in the end.

Hopefully this piece can capture some of the humor:

'After [a series of unrelated questions regarding the schooling of the examined town dweller] Nivens paused a long while and seemed to be digesting the evidence, but at last an idea seemed to strike him
and he said:
"I understand you were not on the bank premises last night. Where were you?"
"Down the lake duck shooting."
You should have seen the excitement in the court when Mullins said this. The judge leaned forward in his chair and
broke in at once.
"Did you get any, Harry?" he asked.
"Yes," Mullins said, "about six."
"Where did you get them? What? In the wild rice marsh past the river? You don't say so! Did you get them on the sit or
how?"
All of these questions were fired off at the witness from the court in a single breath. In fact, it was the knowledge that the
first ducks of the season had been seen in the Ossawippi marsh that led to the termination of the proceedings before the
afternoon was a quarter over. Mullins and George Duff and half the witnesses were off with shotguns as soon as the
court was cleared.'

Taken from an ebook version, page 71, towards the end of the "The Mariposa Bank Mystery" story.
If anyone's interested, websites such as Project Gutenberg have the book, so it can be acessed freely (it was first published in 1912).

"Diario de la guerra del cerdo" by Adolfo Bioy Casares and "El jueguete rabioso" by Arlt. I'm reading them to see what I give to read in class at school :)
