Taking a bit more focus than usual to get on with the language it was written in (Nynorsk) but fully worth the effort to read Morgen og Kveld (Morning and Evening) by Jon Fosse. Simple but stark. Going to read the English translation as well to see how close it gets to it. 💙📚

Knut Hamsun, I'd been recommended "Hunger" or Sult in the original Norwegian. Totally forgot i had a lovely copy, used as decoration before i knew the language. Seems good time to try it out. 💙📚

Tokarczuk is that rare author where each book you read of theirs is not only feels different from the previous but after only about twenty pages it's already your new favourite, a treat 💙📚

just finished Habitat, well written if a bit mad not sure what to think of it, interesting ideas on societal deterioration/collapse but the concept felt both drawn out and didn't really go anywhere will attempt Fosse in the original Nynorsk after The Empusium by Olga Tokarczuk 💙📚

War was in the air again...to older people a continuation of the war they had grown up with...after enough time to raise a new crop of young men. A pattern...every 25 years or so another war to keep the human world stumbling along, a human boom & bust to deadly extremes Barkskins, Annie Proulx 💙📚

I'm sure it's been said but i just realised what this reminded me of, Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener which is one of my favourite short stories, unfortunately i didn't find the same genius with this 💙📚

Took a notion to list out everything read this year. 38 books read this year - and counting! (technically 46 if you include the individual books within The Chronicles of Narnia and the New York Trilogy) Productive year. Highlights were Anna Karenina and 2666. Hard to top either. 💙📚

Once again back reading stories by Wallace Stegner (a writer who never seems to put a word out of place or unnecessarily) before i look for something longer to get into, my next read might be close by... 💙📚
