jostein gaarder

I've now read four novels of Jostein Gaarder. I've realised that it doesn't help to read only one, or two .. but four. All the novels have an influence of philosophy. It's very noticeable, but also sorta manipulating. As I found Sofies Verden quite boring, I quickly decided that I would not be influenced by the novels, but I often find myself asking questions that are very philosophical. It's not very much like me, however, I quite enjoy it. I would love to write 1000 words right now about what I've been reading, and how it has affected me. But, I'll spare you for the pain (lol). I finished reading Kabalmysteriet (the last) yesterday - and I loved it. Well, no, I really enjoyed it! You might wonder why I have read four books by the same author .. well .. actually, I think I've already told you. If you want to get wiser, I think you should try out some of Jostein Gaarder's novels. Personally I'd mostly recommend Kabalmysteriet. I think part of the reason why I really enjoyed it, was because I had absolutely no expectations to this novel. Whereas I had expectations to the three others. Right now I'm reading The Watermelon by Marian Keyes just for fun. I've read it two times before, but it is extremely entertaining. I recommend everyone to go and pick up a book. Read something.
