Dad. Like to run and read. Love the mountains.
Hope. There is strength in that word. Tonight, many people in Gaza are hoping. And in Israel - think how much the families have thought about those who were captured, and the hope they now have.

Last book is also the last I read on the list. A book that made me love reading, running and the mountains even more.(The Lovers /La felicità del Lupo)

A book about the Viking settlement in Greenland - so far away, yet a stirringly alive book about nature, love and life. A fabulous book.

First book I read after my paternal grandfather died. He had another favorite by Hamsun (Victoria), but I will never forget reading this. Or him.

The last book my maternal grandfather read. Love the fact that he read a funny book as one of the last things he did. He loved it. It made him laugh.

I remember listening to this on audiobook, read by the author, while traveling. The most powerful audiobook experience I’ve ever had - what a journey.

A book about a man who wanders into nature, stays in a simple hut, and just stay, slowly, to watch the spring thaw and summer arrive in the mountains

A book about a man and a life that was different than I thought. More brutal, yet less simplistic. A unique man and reading experience.

Read it while I lived on a beach on the Andaman Islands alone for three weeks. How can I ever forget. Felt like I was living in the book while reading.

First book by my best friend, about his mother who has ME - and what he had learned about it. I certainly learned much about ME, him and life.

Red Sorghum - An intense book. Although it has touches of magical realism, it makes the Japanese invasion of China feel intimately real.

Thor Heryerdahl’s first book. Before he was famous for Kon-Tiki. Traveled to the Pacific w his fiancée to live in nature. Lesson: you can’t buy a ticket to paradise.

My inbox was full and got even fuller on a Friday afternoon. I’ll try to log off and rather think about a book, which is about getting away to sort it all out.

I’ll continue with the slow stuff, with a special thanks to @jjensehaugen.bsky.social for the introduction to an old, but sadly more relevant book than ever.

Looking forward to listen, read and learn in hear. Hoping to come across some voices that make an impact on me or open a new perspective for me. And who knows, maybe I’ll find my own voice in here from time to time as well.
