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.

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
