(I did read a bunch more but not from cover to cover which is my law for being allowed to put them in the list)
Whew! Listing those felt like when I was a kid and a total book nerd. I used to read about three books per day and when I was 11-12 I would keep a little database in some Office program with writer, title, ISBN-number, year of production and if it was a re-print or not, what it was about and my review. One year I had read 900 books I think. Though then i had more time, no friends and easier books!
New years promise for 2010 is to keep it up plus at least rating the book on a scale from 1-5.
The best book of the entire year was Ljuset (Light) by Torgny Lindgren. I know it’s been translated and I’d recommend it to you all. Though you’re luckier if you get to read it in swedish.
wow! jag vill också hinna med så mycket böcker på ett år!
Amazing! I tried to read 50 books last year, but only got to around the 20+ mark. Did you have any books within this list that you didn’t really enjoy but forced yourself to complete?
Yeah, Vingklippt Ängel by Berny Pålsson was a book I didn’t like at all but it was an audiobook so I listened to it while sewing things and had nothing else to do so I thought I might aswell go through with it. Then also the Bell Jar, which I forced myself through because it’s a classic and I wanted to have read it. Yppighetens nytta was a book on how good consumption supposedly is and how you don’t have to care about environment etc because it will magically resolve itself… and it was ridiculous but funny. Other from those I stopped reading books which I noticed I wouldn’t want to suffer through for the sake of it.
