Nordic Runes: Understanding, Casting, and Interpreting the Ancient Viking Oracle | Paul Rhys Mountfort

We saw road signs for a Danish windmill in the middle of Iowa on our way to see John Green. What was supposed to be a quick detour for it turned into about an hour of book shopping, touring the grounds, looking at trinkets, and an impromptu mead tasting with two old ladies who sold me some Viking Blod to sip while I read my new book of Nordic folk tales tonight. 🤍

Ruthiella Sounds like a great detour! 😃 3d

MaGoose That is some detour!! Sounds great 👍 3d

Is this a good start to a book? The first 11 pages are a single paragraph and except where he asks himself a question, approximately once per page, it‘s one long sentence. Ok…

jdiehr That's a no for me 1y

thegreensofa Oh wow, you will run out of breath! 1y

Jari-chan That's Fosse's style as I had to learn. I got used to it, but it takes a lot of effort. 1y

LeafingThroughLife That looks….exhausting. 1y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Wow 😮 1y

Liz_M Coming from someone that loves Saramago's lack of punctuation and Ducks, Newburyport, this is a good sign 😁 1y

AnneCecilie I‘ve heard this is not the best Fosse to start with. That his trilogy is better, if not some of his shorter works. But I‘m not sure about how much is translated into English. But I‘m curious to how you find it. 1y

The Open-Air Life: Discover the Nordic Art of Friluftsliv and Embrace Nature Every Day | Linda Akeson McGurk

pick

Definitely feeling very inspired to get out and enjoy nature regardless of the weather and climate and circumstances (although I'm more in favor of the cold than the super-hot). I'm excited to do friluftsliv everyday!

The Nordic Theory of Everything: In Search of a Better Life | Anu Partanen

Sometimes it‘s like that.

JamieArc I just picked back up a book I started in August 2022, and hadn‘t picked up since January 😆. There‘s no guarantee it won‘t sit unread for another few months… 2y

Sharpeipup @jamiearc glad to know it‘s not just me 2y
