Guys.... Karl Ove Knausgård is probably my favorite writer. I know he gets criticism for being too wordy or getting so bogged down with detail the story gets sidelined so it is hard to convince friends that my reco is worthwhile.... but I've never been so moved by descriptions of such mundane activities.
I'm incredibly stoked to start this today ?

Booksnchill @mrozzz just got his book Home and Away from the library- writings about soccer "as the arena for reflections of life and death"- looked a bit more accessible to start with than #MyStruggles 7y

mrozzz @Booksnchill awesome! I haven't read that one but I imagine it might be... btw each volume of My Struggle has a theme and it's not necessary to read in order. For example book 3 is about his childhood. Book 1 is relationship with his father. But whichever you'd pick they're all chunksters 🙃 (edited) 7y
Booksnchill @mrozzz thanks for the tips! 7y
batsy That's a lovely description so I'll really have to give his books a try soon 👍 7y
