THE PLACE WHERE I AM IS MISSING FROM MY VIEW.

Finished reading What I loved last week. It was very beautiful. Then I read Gone girl by Gillian Flynn; I just needed something easy and this is probably one of the most satisfying thrillers I have ever read (not that I've read many, she adds snobbishly). It was such a page-turner which is my least favourite word after unputdownable, but I seriously could not stop reading. It was the same with What I loved but for completely different reasons.

Since I like ending my blog posts with webcam pictures, here's another one for you:

TO BE KISSED ON THE LIPS BY YOUR HUSBAND
IS THE MOST DECADENT THING.

THE GRASS IS SINGING

Finished reading The grass is singing by Doris Lessing yesterday. It was great. God, she is so brilliant. I'm currently reading Siri Hustvedt's What I loved. Tried reading it last year, but it wasn't the right time for it. Giving it another try now.

These past few days I've been reading some books in Swedish. Feel free to visit http://librisvedese.blogspot.se/ and if you scroll down a bit, you can check out what I read in Swedish last year.

OUT ON THE WILEY, WINDY MOORS

Just finished reading Wuthering heights by Emily Brontë - first book 2013. I read it when I was seventeen and always said I hated it, but I was just a completely different reader then (I think the fact that Bret Easton Ellis was my favourite writer really says it all). Now, I truly enjoyed it.
