A reminder that tomorrow is Independent Bookstore Day, so make plans to visit your local indie bookseller and keep the money in the community, rather than being used to fire rich women into space for a lark.

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. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š
