It’s time for my very first list. Before the boys arrived I read books all the time. Now I have much less time to read. The beauty of books however, is that the words, the images and the characters remain with you for a very long time after you’ve read a book. These are the books in particular that made an impression on me:
(In no particular order)
Gabriel Garcia Marquez - 100 years of solitude
Umberto Eco - In the name of the rose
Anything by Charles Dickens - David Copperfield & Tale of two cities are my favourites, but most of his other books are just as amazing!
Per Anders Fogelström - Mina Drömmars stad
Heroditus - The Histories
Nathaniel Hawthorne - The scarlet letter in particular, but also The house of the seven gables
D H Lawrence - Women in love, but also some of his other books if I’m in the mood
Thomas Mann - The magic mountain – sadly I never quite finished this novel, however one day I will.
Thomas More - Utopia
Just about anything by Oscar Wilde
Leo Tolstoy - The death of Ivan Iljitjs (Smert Ivana Iljitsja) - short but great!
Marianne Fredriksson - Anna, Hanna och Johanna (also translated into English)
