I’ve started some holiday planning. It’s still a month till we’ll take off, but one has to be prepared… Here are some things I will be putting in my suitcase – unless something even more tempting shows up in the near future:
1) Zadie Smith: Om skjønnhet
2) Colm Toibin: Mesteren
3) Michail Bulgakov: Mesteren og Margarita
4) Carolyn Parkhurst: Babels hunder*
5) Virginia Woolf: En uskrevet roman
6) Kate Atkinson: Behind the Scenes of the Museum*
*) These are books I know nothing about, not even why I planned to read them…
A quick summing up gave me the result of 100 pages pr. day – this is what I’ll have to work through if I don’t make a false start… right now I'm in the middle of Ishiguro’s When we were orphans, which I really love – so I might have to exchange some of the books on my holiday list with more Ishiguro?
And I did also plan to read some art history and aesthetics... There is only one possible solution:
extra holiday week(s)!
