Remember yesterday that I couldn't really get a grip on the Ukrainian song, and basically didn't think I liked it all that much? Well, now that I can listen to it without being disturbed by the mirror-toting angel boys, I love it! It's wonderful, I'm totally loving it. So yeah, I am absolutely right about that presentation being dangerously distracting. Lose the angels and we may be talking some pretty good results here. :-)

Doppler by Erlend Loe – AUDIO

10 printed books, 2,633 pages.
8 audiobooks, 75h 50m.

Favorite fiction:
Quatrain, I think. Shinn is one of my favorite writers and it's been a while since I'd read anything by her. This book is a collection of four kind of short novellas, each set in a different universe of hers. I loved the chance to revisit. :-)

Favorite nonfiction:
I can't choose. Seriously, I can't. I only read two nonfiction books this month and neither of them were good enough to qualify for the term 'favorite'. Pass on this one.

Favorite audio:
A lot more to choose from there! :-) I've listened to several really good audiobooks this month, it's actually hard to pick one. But I think it would have to be ... The Plot Against America. It's a type of novel I tend to like - alternative history - and it was very well executed, with a lot of interesting ideas, as well as being very well read. I recommend it.

Ooh, and look - I've read it already ... ! :-)

12 printed books, 2,836 pages.
5 audiobooks, 76h 30m.

Favorite fiction:
Meh. I've read several books this month that were good, in fact I haven't read any that were bad. But at the same time none of them really stood out. It's hard to choose one this month, I don't feel like I really have a favorite among these books. Maybe Babette's Feast, because that one I really really liked. :-) I guess I have to say The Monk. It was a good read, but also a pretty difficult one ... the plot goes off in so many directions and the language is so old-fashioned. Understandable, but still. :-)

Favorite nonfiction:
Now in this category I have the opposite problem ... !! :-D I've read so much wonderful nonfiction this month. I can hardly choose just one of them. The Xinran book was fantastic, especially since I'd just heard her speak about it here in Oslo a few days before reading it. But since I do have to pick just one, I think I have to say King Leopold's Ghost. A harrowing read, but just amazing. An absolute must read.

Favorite audio:
The Girl Who Played With Fire ... ? Same as last month, a reread, but it is such a good read and the audiobooks I've read this month that have been new haven't been all that. Except maybe Monster ... ? I guess Stieg Larsson wins again. :-)

Please note that I've read a book of poetry this month. Out of the box, hell yeah!

Musketerene tyve år etter, volume 1 by Alexandre Dumas

11 printed books, 3,204 pages.

5 audiobooks, 61h 11m.

Favorite fiction:

Ooh, how can I pick just one ... !! I've read so many good books this month. Seriously, there are so many wonderful books on this list. But since I absolutely have to choose one I think I have to say Swastika Night. It's a disturbing vision of a Europe in which the Nazis have won WWII ... more than six hundred years ago. Thousand year Reich, anyone? o_O Burdekin imagines what kind of society would have developed and what twists and turns history would have taken. What is so impressive is that she wrote the book in the mid-1930s. :-o George Orwell, eat your heart out.

Favorite nonfiction:

Not a lot to choose from this month. I guess Stalingrad. Vivid descriptions of horrific sufferings recited in the melodious voice of Duc Mai-The, what's not to like?

Favorite audio:

Should I say The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ... ?? It's a reread, so I feel like it doesn't really count properly. But it is such a fantastic book. Except that I got the Norwegian edition, in which Anders Ribu almost constantly mispronounces the first name of one of the main characters (Mikael Blomkvist; he says 'Mikal') and that drives me up the wall. But it's fantastic. :-) And other than that he reads it very well indeed. :-)

The Way Through the Snow by Lian Hearn

9 printed books, 2,314 pages.

3 audiobooks, 37h 10m.

Favorite fiction:

I guess I have to say the Moroccan book - the English title is This Blinding Absence of Light. A heart-wrenching story, but also deeply moving and inspiring.

Favorite nonfiction:

American Eve. A fascinating portrait of New York ca 1900.

Favorite audio:

I'm tempted to say De dødes tjern, but I'm not sure if that can really count, since it was 'just' a reread. But there's no one title that really stands out this month.

Books I've read in 2010 - January

Svik by Karin Alvtegen – AUDIO

10 printed books, 2,639 pages.

5 audiobooks, 52h 20m.

Favorite fiction:

Making Money. Hey, it's Pterry, what can I say. He's my hero. :-)

Favorite nonfiction:

Not much to choose from here. I guess Trankebar, even though it was far from as well written as I had expected it to be. But the subject matter - Danish-Norwegian colonial history in India - was very interesting.

Favorite audio:

Hard to choose here. But I guess I have to go with Svik, even though the Vallgren book was fantastic too. Svik had an absolutely fascinating plot, and it was SO well read (by the actress Andrine Sæther - the perfect reader for this book). This really stood out because just before it I had read another audiobook by the same author, but with a different reader, who did a pretty crappy job.

And finally, although I don't normally do this, I have to mention my least favorite read too - QuixotiQ, by a total idiot with no talent. DO NOT READ.

Favorite fiction:
Pappersväggar. I love this author and in this short story collection there are some amazing stories. Everyone should read all his books :-) and this one is no exception.

Favorite nonfiction:
no tears for queers - a wonderful read that really opened my eyes. I'll be doing a video on this book I think, it really made me think a lot of new thoughts.

Favorite audio:
Probably ... Nattefokk. My second book by this author, and I loved this one too. It's available in English under the title The Darkest Room. I recommend it strongly.

Books with no links will be reviewed ... at some point ... :-)

The Timewaster Letters by Robin Cooper
Den ulende mølleren by Arto Paasilinna

13 printed books, 3,507 pages.
4 audiobooks, 42h 38m.

Favorite fiction:
The von Zweigbergk, I guess. I could hardly put it down ... just like the last book by her that I read. It's interesting, because the main character isn't that ... likeable, or however I should phrase it, but still the whole setting is so gripping, and I can't really put my finger on why. I really recommend these books to anyone who's interested in unusual crime fiction.

Favorite nonfiction:
Frp-koden, definitely ... even though there were other strong contenders too this month. It was so interesting, it really made me think things over and gave me new insight. Also quite well written. Don't know what more one could ask for in a book, really. :-)

Favorite audio:
The Line of Beauty. An interesting 80s retrospective ... convincing and moving. Very well read too IMO.

All the books that don't have links will be reviewed on my book blog shortly.

In other news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Anne Ida!! :-) She is 32 years old on this All Hallow's Eve. (Right? You're 32, right? o_O) I'm going over to her place later to cook her a birthday dinner and give her two birthday presents that I'm really pleased with myself for thinking up. One of them is specially made and I think it's brilliant ... if I do say so myself. ;-) Can't wait to hear what she thinks ... ! :-)

So, I remembered her birthday, but I forgot Raphael's. :-( He was 9 years old on October 20th. I was going to mention it, but I didn't. Alas. He seems not quite heartbroken. But still, I was going to mention it. My little grouch. Just look at him posing so uncomfortably there ...

13 printed books, 4,038 pages

4 audiobooks, 59h 50m.

Favorite fiction:
Summer of Love ... because it's taken me literally years to get around to reading it, and it turned out to be really great. :-)

Favorite nonfiction:
Ooh ... Sekten was really good, and I loved reading something by Pohl again, haven't done that in ages. He used to be one of my absolutely favorite writers when I was a teenager. But no, I think I have to say the Dawkins book. It was so well written and it explained things so beautifully. Everyone ought to read that book. :-)

Favorite audio:
I guess I have to say Katedralen vid havet ... I spent such an eternity reading it. :-D No, but it was just incredibly long ... more than 23 hours, I just felt like I was never getting to the end of it. But it was a really good book, very gripping, with great characters and a very vibrant setting. I'd recommend it, but you need some patience. ;-)
