cmyrland started reading Den ulende mølleren by Arto Paasilinna
Det føles liksom naturlig å fortsette med en finsk forfatter umiddelbart etter å ha lest ut Fakta om Finland.

Reading mainly in English, sometimes Norwegian. I'm currently working my way though the entire Discworld series chronologically, but to avoid growing tired of them before I finish, I mix in some various other stuff - classics, non-fiction, dystopic novels, and generally whatever I can get my hands on which tickles my "ooh want"-sense at the time.
(Oh, and I moved from @cmyrland@bookwyrm.social, but apparently managed to bork something, so it seems not everything made the jump. No worries though, 2026 is the first year I log my progress regularly in Bookwyrm, so there's not a lot missing)
I also (used to) post about my reading progress over at @cmyrland@pixelfed.social, and my general ramblings about life, the universe and everything is located at @cmyrland@tutoteket.no - though that stuff is mostly in Norwegian..

cmyrland finished reading Odyssey by Stephen Fry (Stephen Fry's retelling of the Greek myths, #4)
After the fall of Troy, wily Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sails for home and his …
After having dragged myself through Mythos (all those names, places, origin stories, bits and pieces that lay the foundations of the Greek myths can be quite overwhelming, even in the friendly tones of Stephen Fry) and fought my way through Troy (fate would have it that I wound up reading Troy before Heroes - in retrospect I'd suggest doing it the other way around), I found Heroes and now The Odyssey much easier reads, and Stephen Fry's retelling of The Odyssey was a real page turner. I read another, older version a little under a year ago, and while it wasn't bad, I found it a much harder read than this. I also like how he ends the book, and how he draws the lines between poets like Homer and modern day generative AI, and how he points out the importance of The Odyssey even in modern literature, theatre and …

Stephen Fry's Odyssey is by far the easiest read in the series, and a brilliant end to Fry's retelling of the Greek myths.
@Reea@mas.to takk! Jeg så at du hadde så kult domene, så da måtte jeg også bytte ;) I tillegg til at jeg irriterte meg litt (ok en del) over at bookwyrm.social har en tendens til å være veldig treig til å laste inn...

cmyrland reviewed På naturens skuldre by Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson
Glitrende fortellinger om vårt samspill med naturen
Lestlest og engasjerende
4 stars
Lettlest, morsom og engasjerende om alle artene som omgir oss globalt og hvilke effekter de har på økosystemene, men peker også på svært alvorlige problemer med menneskets tukling med naturen, tap av artsmangfold og naturtyper.
