My 21 most-read stories

Celebrating 4 years on Medium — It will soon be 4 years since I started writing on Medium.

All Quiet on the Western Front

When someone told me they watched it on Neflix and it was dubbed I said, “I am so glad I watched it in the cinema.” The cinema gave me the German with English subtitles. If it hadn’t been in German I would have forgotten it was a story of World…
