Books of 2018


These are the books I've read in 2018.

Novels

De fems tegn, Hans Olav Lahlum: Great read.

Et hummerliv, Erik Fosnes Hansen: Fosnes Hansen is my favourite Norwegian author, but this novel was a huge disappointment. Long winded and boring.

A Clash of Kings, George R. R. Martin

Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien: Second attempt to get through this book, this time I succeeded. Lots of good, loosely coupled stories with beautiful language, but heavy going and out right boring at times.

The Children of Hurin, J.R.R. Tolkien: Captivating read, but the ending is sad like a Greek tragedy.

Learning things

Kroppsspråk, Petter Schjerven

The Obstacle is the Way, Ryan Holiday

Together is Better, Simon Sinek

Still reading as I head into 2019

Tenke, fort og langsomt*, Daniel Kahneman

Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, Steven Levy
