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 608 reviews so far. Titles marked with a * are particular favorites.
Knud Sønderby: Midt i en jazztid *
A quintessential Danish novel, and you probably cannot escape high school without encountering it. Or does that statement just show how long it has been since I went there? Nevertheless, it is a fantastic book, basically telling the story of a generation that is not completely lost but is looking into a future more volatile and also exciting than that of their parents. And the language is exquisite and sets a high, high bar for how to write fiction in Danish. Available in Dutch but not in English, it seems. Sadly.
