Great quiet book that takes place in Norway and a little bit in Sweden. Great prose translated from Norwegian which is obvious and awesome. 9.

Years of reading adventures!
Why a book blog?
I read. A lot. But I read too fast and tend to forget what I have read after some time passes. This will be my attempt to create a reading memory book. In addition, as part of efforts to take care of my body and mind--beyond forty one can not afford to further erode what meager natural gifts one was awarded at birth--I endeavor to read one book a week for the next 52 weeks. And remember every single one of them. The books will be a mix of fiction and non-fiction. Whatever tickles my fancy. So 52 books in 52 weeks. Here we go!
8/23/08 UPDATE
Well, the year is up and I reached my goal in 52 weeks and 2 days! Yeay! It's been a great year of reading! I guess I will just continue posting the books I read here because I do like being able to go back and see the compiled list of what I have read. Onward without a goal. Phew!
