Would you mind telling me what you like about them so much? I heard about them before, but I never really bothered getting into them, discarding them as too geeky-fantasy-strange. Can you dispel my prejudices?

My 5. I didn't really check if they are available as ebooks. 1. Faust - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Self explanatory. Magnificent language - even the translation captures large parts of its beauty. 2. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald No-brainer 3. Das Parfum (The Perfume) - Patrick Süskind A book that's a little different. Beautifully written. 4. A Streetcar Named Desire - Tennessee Williams A play drenched with emotions. I can only recommend it to the few that haven't read it 5. Den skrattande polisen (The Laughing Policeman) - Maj Sjöwall / Per Wahlöö A truly great work of crime / detective stories. It's sinister, yet bright and the story is exceedingly clever in my opinion. |
