A Line of Thought

I couldn't wake up today, figured that I deserved some sleep since I read Linn Ullmans book, A Blessed Child last night, it kept me awake for most of the night. I was intoxicated and devasted by the feeling that children can be so cruel to each other but somehow I couldn't stop reading it. It also kept me thinking of how different everything was back then, when the men in the family was the most important person in the world and the entire family excepted that, like it was the most natural thing.

I'm doing a Linn Ullman marathon reading at the moment, which basically means that I try to read all books by the same author after one eachother, the only one I have left to read at the moment is Stella Descending, so i figured that I had to stop by the St Georges English Bookstore on Wörther Strasse and get som new books, if you haven't been there yet and if you live in Berlin, it's a must! The store is cramped with books, mostly second hand books, you can sit and read them in the store if you want, while the mean house cat is watching you from behind a book, (however nicer than the one posted below). You can return the books after you read them and get half the price back of what you payed. I love spending time in there. I think I will move on to Dave Egger when I'm done with Linn Ullmann. If you havn't already, read these:

Før du sovner (Before You Sleep) (1998)
Når jeg er hos deg (Stella Descending) (2001)
Nåde (Grace) (2002)
Et Velsignet Barn (A Blessed Child) (2005)
