Autumn & Books
I fell for the adverts (again) - well, I am not the one who is able to turn down offers of "free" books! Bokklubben had some interesting books to offer, both for myself (and my daughter I think). She really likes books, so I am not afraid of going wrong by ordering "Teskjekjerringa ordner opp", "Knerten" (Alf Prøysen) and "Mio, min Mio" (Astrid Lindgren) for her. Of course I should have gone modern, but those works of art are classics, so she NEEDS them in her library too... For myself I accepted their offer on "En tid for alt" by Knausgård (I know, I should have had time to buy it by now...), "Hamsun - erobreren" by Ingar Sletten Kolloen and "Ut og stjæle hester", Per Petterson (and of course, these two are way overdue as well... but finally I'll be able to read them too).
In addition to the mentioned books I am also looking forward to receiving "Kina" - Torbjørn Færøvik, "Kulturhistoriske årstall" - Jakob Brønnum and "Latin" - Tore Janson.
So I am ready then! The summer can fade - and resurface as autumn. Colder evenings are welcome, the cooler air can force us indoors. I don't mind sitting down next to the fireplace, with books at hand. Mentioning the fireplace... that reminded me that I still haven't purchased one! I will have to discuss this with Summer. Maybe it can hold on for another month or so - until I have sorted out this fireplace-issue?
