My first foray into Norwegian lit. Is it a good choice?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 23 18:34:04 2012 No.2347595 Well, there's Hamsun, Ibsen and then a huge load of generic, depressing crime thrillers to choose from. So yes.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 23 18:38:03 2012 No.2347605 Great choice. Hilarious book. I hope you have the translation that involves something like "you could laugh until you died," something like that regarding a chair. Hilarious and terribly sad. Too bad dude was a Nazi.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 23 18:49:45 2012 No.2347638 >>2347586 Hunger is not a very good book. It's supposedly groundbreaking for 1890, that's why it gets respected and praised. If you read the works of Dostoevsky and post 1850 Melville, you will understand it's not very groundbreaking though.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 23 18:51:52 2012 No.2347641 it is a good choice, but will you be a bad enough dude to read sigrid undset?
