Reading Folklore Fights: The Nazis Humor in Occupied Norway 1940-1945

I found this pretty funny:





Norwegians were ordered to sit by a Nazi on the train if all other seats were occupied (they weren't allowed to stand), cuz it made the Nazis feel bad.

A coin magic manual. And it's damn hard stuff!

I'm reading Dance Night by Dawn Powell. It's OK but I'm kind of ready for it to be over.

I just finished The Hunger Games trilogy. It was better than I expected.

I'm working out a series of stories that roughly uses characters like Nick and Nora Charles as a point of departure. So I downloaded Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man to read his vaunted dialogue. He's good at it.

I just gave up on White Teeth by Zadie Smith. I really hate not finishing a book but I was 70 pages in (out of 448) and bored as fuck. Anyone else read this?

Oh well, now starting Under the Net by Iris Murdoch.

Breathe by Tim Winton - had no realized this crafter of fine prose was shortlisted on the Booker TWICE!!!! Good literature - adventure and solid prose - akin to Deliverance in that regard
