As you may see I love scandinavian literature
That's nice to see! Are you reading them in thier native language or in English?
No, I'm reading them in Polish cause English translations are unavailable in my library and unfortunately I don't know Norwegian or Swedish though I'd like to.

I also like Loe a lot. Have you read Expedition L? A really crazy story about a guy who has this theory that origin South Americans once reached the Polynesian Islands – by skating on ice!! And determined to prove it (inspired by Thor Heyerdahl).
Not yet, I've never heard about that book but I'm gonna get it and read. Thanx!

And have you read Majgull Axelssons Aprilhäxan (The April Witch)? Great book!
Yes, I really like that book but I prefer "Langt borta fran Nilfheim":)

Another great Scandinavian author is that Finnish guy Arto Paasilinna, aka "The funniest author in the North". He is writing real weird storys, good weird.
Mmmmm, sounds interesting!

And there's a interesting, coming Icelandic writer:
Steinunn Sigurthardóttir. She wrote (in translation)
The Time Thief, a different love story, about how destructive passion can be. She's very promising!
And HEY! Now that we are talking about Scandinavian authors, it would be a deadly sin if I didn't mention the greatest of all, my precious, my house God:
August Strindberg. I sincerely hope you have read some of his works? He's the best!!!
Hey, thanks! I've been just looking for some interesting scandinavian authors.
Oh, I'm also looking for some scandinavian historical novels. Would You be so kind and give me some titles?
Take care!
