Please, never read "Ludde og Ruske-Sara".

That sounds like some kind of challenge, doesn't it? I'd much rather you didn't take it as one. It is not a dare; it's a heartfelt request. I mean this genuinely. It would be irresponsible of me as a human being, to let this go unsaid. I'm not advising you to check it out if you're into this kind of thing. (If you're into this kind of thing, see a shrink). I'm not suggesting this a niche book, or that there might be something to enjoy about it. I am saying, earnestly, that you should not read it. Doing so will actively make your life worse. I know this because, for reasons that are mysterious even to me, I read it all the way through. I'm fairly sure there's something wrong with me.

Over the past 22 years I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. I'll always be the first to admit that. I haven't necessarily made the decisions I should have, and often the ones I have made have proved to be incorrect for all involved. I'm not shy or ashamed about any of this, because it's a fundamental part of growing up and being a human being. We live, we make mistakes, and we learn. But reading "Ludde og Ruske-Sara" is one of the worst mistakes I've made in a long time. There's nothing to be learned from it. I usually make jokes in these things, and I can't even summon the will to do that. I just feel a bit sick. There were three separate moments between the opening and closing chapters where I simply closed the book; three individual points where my brain kicked back in, my senses returned, and I realised what I was doing. I think it was possibly the second of these instances when I asked, loudly to the empty room, "What the fuck am I doing with my life?"

What Ludde did to Sarah was abominable. Ulf Löfgren should be put in house arrest for producing such a piece of vile crap.

What books can I read to get a girl like pic related?

In just the first few pages we get a profile of a very perceptive boy, named Hal. From the very first line of the book we get a conceptual and rather unnecessarily detailed look at three admissions officers who, for several pages, discuss Hal in the abstract while barely acknowledging his presence. This separation is the beginning of a long-running motif of broken-down communication. It is also extraordinarily postmodern. Every sentence, even down to the reluctance of the Deans to admit someone in so obviously faked their grades for both the material gain of the institution and even how Hal presents himself alludes to Hal being a mere result of others' work. He claims that other people would pull him through the experience, the deans have their own agenda, and for the most part he remains entirely silent. This goes back to a model we have in literature, where the debate is either society makes the person or the person is already their own person (nature vs nurture, basically), and very clearly Hal is being built up by everyone in his life. Hal is being nurtured. He is not even in control of his own future and when he attempts to argue his body fails him. Not his brain. This first chapter is about weakness and strength, but it is pointedly physical.
Then we have the abstraction of what a person *is*, what with the "jacket's biceps" (9), the "smile's teeth" (5), which at first glance is synechdoche but is more likely just an abstraction, a sort of conciousness that the author is creating where actions and objects are personified rather than the people.

And that's a very interesting idea indeed, how the characters seem to be less human than their actions.
