I thought I should make an update about the book challenge - am not reading as much as I would like to, but still getting some good reads. Actually I have seen more films than read books, but obviously it is also faster! Maybe I should also make a film challenge?

Yeah, I know. Somehow I miss going in the metro in the morning, because then I would get to read everyday on my work to and from work.

Have you heard of a Danish writer named Peter Hoeg? What do you think of him? He seems like the most popular Danish writer around here for some reason!

Yes, I've read several of his books - there was also a movie version of Miss Smilla's sense of snow (though I didn't like that one very much) I liked Tales of the Night and The History of Danish Dreams.

He was a big hit around ten years ago, but now he has only written one book in a very long time and the critics weren't too happy about it.

I certainly also liked the feel of the book, I did enjoy it you know, and have been thinking about it after I finished the read.
