I’m sorry that i cannot remember the name of the books always. I was strongly psychotic without any official diagnosis or treatments with antipsychotics. But I was able to read and I loved it, being inside the novels and the story as it was in my head with my different experiences.

The Lighthouse by PD James; I was reading this book in my youth at 16 years old. I brought it to school and my favourite teacher asked me what I was reading. Jeg lånte den av bestemor og det var interessant lesing.

Another book was very scary reading and it’s well known, they made a film about the story that I was watching a few years ago. It was about a French man with extremely strong scent detection ability who later met women and killed them to make perfume.

And I must again mention Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling. It was my favourite book in childhood and youth, I’ll write about it every time someone asking me about impact of books. I remember that I could relate with Harry, Ginny and especially Myrtle Warren/Moaning Myrtle.

Thank you very much for listening ❤

I remember answer this last year on other blog. I’m trying be writing about some different books now that have had impact on my life and my thoughts on why.

entire Harry Potter series; because it was a part of my youth when the books were released and we waited for next book. I think it made an impact because it’s so interesting how magic and human nature are a part of the experience. I also have deep reasons to relate to some of the characters like mentioned Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood and Myrtle Warren. I could write a lot more about why.

a book I cannot remember the name, but it was very interesting reading it in my teenage years again after last time in childhood years. It was related to some type of boarding school and hypnosis, what struck me in teenage years was the ending of the narrative with a girl with an abusive father from memories that’s what it was.

And my third is obvious from last year. But I had to mention some more; Hellemyrsfolket by Amalie Skram. It’s deep and emotional to a much more intense way than other fiction very realistic and moving. If you read them be prepared for emotions strong and deep thoughts on life and meaning. In addition I’m Norwegian and really very interested in genealogy research and history.

Those are some books that have had important impact on my life and view of this world through narrative. Thanks for reading ❤
