The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

A very moving and utterly wonderful book! Despite all tragedy, this book guides the reader towards the joys in life.

Jackdaw Summer by David Almond

A book that captures the overarching question ‘are some of us born evil’?

You Know Where to Find Me by Rachel Cohn

 

A book about cousins, drugs, self-destructiveness, sorrow, love, and a strong woman at its center.

I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak

Ed Kennedy is the guy who goes from zero to hero in one day. This novel penetrates the deeper questions of life with comical undertones.

Adrift in the Pacific, or Two Years Vacation by Jules Verne

An exciting robinsonade. I suspect that William Golding downloaded a lot of inspiration from this book to his classic novel, Lord of the Flies.

Harry and the dinosaurs at the museum by Ian Whybrow and Adrian Reynolds

The second book about Harry and his dinosaurs. This time Harry visits the museum, where they visit the ancestors.

Harry och dinosaurierna by Ian Whybrow and Adrian Reynolds

A much welcomed book for all preschoolers who can’t get enough of dinosaurs.

Author Adam WestPosted on March 17, 2011March 10, 2017Categories BookTags Dinosaurs, Fiction

Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams

Part one of a very exciting adventure series with a somewhat eerie undertone. This thick book is hard to put aside, even if the initial hundred pages are a little too descriptive.

It’s a Book by Lane Smith

A tribute to the printed book! However, I suspect that this picture book is more suited for the adult reader than for the toddler. Which young toddler understand words like ‘tweet’?

The Butterfly Tatoo by Philip Pullman

A novel that touches everyone. About love and death, which sometimes feels breathtakingly realistic.

Welcome!

This blog is a voyage of exploration into my experiences in the world of texts. Books I've read, movies I've seen, and the music I've listened to recently.

In my opinion, a text is more than the sum of its printed words. A text also creates a context and is thus a broader experience.
