Why did they ever do this
Because a bit before that it would've been "Mozartens" and the ' indicated the ellipsis of the long form of the genetive. Eventually the short form became the standard so that the apostrophe was eventually dropped. But for a while German genetive looking like the English one was normal. Nowadays if someone in German does it then it's an indicator of them not knowing how to write.
Ken Follett: Pillars of the Earth
if this is the one about the architect who dreams of building a cathedral, it was pretty good
Yes, just the right level of technicality and education on the period as well. I'm currently reading the following book World Without End and it's a bit romance heavy but still good
The first third was decent enough. The rest was much better in concept than execution
Understanding Media - The Extensions of Man by Marshall McLuhan
Curious why you'd suggest this
For me, it's one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. I read it over ten years ago and I still think about its contents regularly. Few other books have been so useful in understanding what's going on in our modern artificial world (that is: our world comprised of human artefacts).
It's demanding, but playful and insightful. Filled with witty aphorisms and unexpected connections between pop culture and classic literature. Reveals the profundity within the trivial. McLuhan gives his readers an extremely rich and fun pair of spectacles to view and contextualize our past and present. This isn't a work laying out fixed concepts, but a collection of percepts. It's like a book of intellectual toys you can pick up, rotate, mash against one another, and see how it all works. There's a lot of fun to be had reading McLuhan, and he's extremely underrated.
Read the Media Ecologists, folks. McLuhan, Walter Ong, Neil Postman.
