cmyrland started reading Muleum by Erlend Loe
#7 for året. Jeg skulle egentlig ta en liten Loe-pause, men nå var det en gang denne som lå øverst i bunken på nattbordet. Jeg liker ihvertfall de første sidene her.

cmyrland finished reading Prosten og hans forunderlige tjener by Arto Paasilinna
Strange, silly and entertaining! Some good laughs along the way. I like the way bizarre events are explained matter-of-factly, like it's no different from getting milk at the store.
Should you read whatever you come across by Arto Paasilinna? Yes. Yes, you should.

Ikke den beste boka i serien, men helt grei underholdning. Jeg tror det merkes at denne ble lest litt ute av takt, ettersom jeg egentlig er kommet til Interesting Times, men ikke fikk tak i Moving Pictures før nå.
Men ikke for det, det var absolutt en del humring underveis her også. Synes bare historien var litt... tynn og urealistisk 🤪

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.

New month, new book. I read the original Penguin Classics retelling of The Odyssey (www.penguin.co.uk/books/35467/the-odyssey-by-homer/9780141192444) less than a year ago, but when I saw that Mr. Fry had written his own interpretation, I simply had to give this one a go as well. Hopefully it'll flow a bit easier than the previous version and Bram Stoker's Dracula which I just finished after a month's toiling.
