Art Garfunkel famously keeps track of the books he has read since 1968. As of writing this, the count is 1327 (he does not add a review). I thought I could do something similar but I am adding short reviews of books as I read them, and I rake my brain over what I read over the last decades. This is, evidently, a work-in-progress: there are 584 reviews so far. Titles marked with a * are particular favorites.


Johannes V. Jensen: Digte 1906 *

A seminal collection of poetry, blasting in the new century and never looking back. Alas, but for writing in our minority language, some of these poems would be counted among the best in the early waves of modernism. Now, only us Danes get to enjoy. And we do.
