I wonder what they would say. "russian lit only second to french" doesn't sound like a common punchline at the bank.

Someone just posted this .gif about 50 Shades of Grey on FB. One of the auditors at work was trying to convince me to read it. This the day after I had massive falling out with them.

What is it about this book that everyone keeps talking about?

 

[Lilith]

I think it's about someone called Grey and his sex life.

That's it? I thought it would be more controversial than the Da Vinci Code!

After finishing Hemingway, I've gone a bit more lightweight

I've read it in danish before, but I'm giving it a go in spanish to sharpen up my spanish skills.

I've seen him in the bookstore. What does he write?

I guess it belongs under the mystery genre. He's a good writer often compared to Eco and Dickens for his style of writing. An easy read while still entertaining and interesting with a big gallery of characters that are hold together with a good storyline. Though fiction he often has a very credible description of the conditions in Spain up to the civil war.

I can highly recommend his first two novels if you are looking for some 'riding the train, sitting in the summer sun or taking a break from Kierkegaard'-literature.

For me, the mystery genre usually comes down to, "Why the f#%$ am I reading this?"

Kierkegaard lol, the guy was hopeless. You know this new current of "positive psychology" with all these books about how to be happy and tranquil? It's because of people like him that they invented this.

I'll keep Zafon in mind though.
