Goethes babelsk virvar (dikt)

       til S. Kjærlighet. Kan substantivet men ikke verbet. Tyvärr.   Tysk, italiensk og gresk har en annen semantikk.   Mang en tåre ble felt, for slike grammatiske mangler.   Tålmodighet, lærerinnens største gave. Selv havet tar slutt.   Leider, i unge Werthers ånd. Paulo Girão,   2024

15 memorable books from my last 7 years of reading

Bilde
I have joined the website Goodreads in the beginning of 2015. Some weeks ago I suddenly realized that I have passed my 400th registered read title in the website, and I have been going through the lists to try to distill the books that have left the strongest impression. I found out many books that would fall into that category, but when forced to shorten the list I came up with the somewhat arbitrary number of 15 works. So here it is, my list of  15 memorable, interesting, captivating, and somewhat unusual titles that I have read in the last 7 years.

It may seem an odd choice to pick a 2500 year old book with around 700 pages of dense text (in the Penguin classics edition), but this book has been mentioned in so many of my previous readings, so I felt that now was the time to engage this beast. And since I was travelling alone and had plenty of time to burn, why not?  In this post I will try to answer the following question: - what is this book and what is it about?  - why read it?  - which kind or reader would (probably) enjoy this book? - what is my impression of it? - recommendations for further reading.  What is Histories and what is its subject? Histories was written by the Greek writer and traveller Herodotus ( Ἡρόδοτος , c. 484-425 BC) from Halicarnassus (nowadays Bodrum on the w...
