25 yaşında， hayatın anlamını sorgulayan karakterimizin eşliğinde zamanın varlığı ve listeler üzerine harika bir okuma。 Zaman var mı？ Lineer mi döngüsel mi？ Küçükken en sevdiğin şeyler nelerdi？ Kaç tane hayvan gördün şimdiye dek （hayvanat bahçesinde gördüklerin sayılmıyor）？。 Harika sorular ve harika listeler içeren， bittiğinde insanın yüzünde çok hoş bir gülümseme bırakan bir kitap。 Yazardan okuduğum ilk kitap oldu。 Diğer eserleri ile de devam edeceğim。 Kuzey ülkelerinin edebiyatına， sakinliğine 25 yaşında， hayatın anlamını sorgulayan karakterimizin eşliğinde zamanın varlığı ve listeler üzerine harika bir okuma。 Zaman var mı？ Lineer mi döngüsel mi？ Küçükken en sevdiğin şeyler nelerdi？ Kaç tane hayvan gördün şimdiye dek （hayvanat bahçesinde gördüklerin sayılmıyor）？。 Harika sorular ve harika listeler içeren， bittiğinde insanın yüzünde çok hoş bir gülümseme bırakan bir kitap。 Yazardan okuduğum ilk kitap oldu。 Diğer eserleri ile de devam edeceğim。 Kuzey ülkelerinin edebiyatına， sakinliğine ve yalınlığına bayılıyorum！ 。。。more

As soothing and cathartic as hitting blocks with a hammer。 This is an easy and relaxing read， perfect for when the world is feeling just a bit too big。

This was a fantastic novel。 I had the rare gift of time today and managed to read the whole book in one day which is possibly the first time I’ve managed to do that。 I really enjoyed the book and it gave me lots to think about， smile about and a relatable character who I grew to get to know well over the course of reading。 I was impressed by Erlend Loe’s writing and will be searching out some more of his books for future reads。Now to get started on making some lists！

This is the third Erlend Loe I've read and he has not disappointed so far。 This book is as strange and quirky as the others following a man who struggles with his place in the Universe and， in fact， the universe itself。 His childlike attitude to stress is intriguing and his journey which sees him giving up college， learning how to enjoy his life， getting a girlfriend and heading to New York to visit his brother is engaging。 I love Mr Loe's work。 Highly recommend。 This is the third Erlend Loe I've read and he has not disappointed so far。 This book is as strange and quirky as the others following a man who struggles with his place in the Universe and， in fact， the universe itself。 His childlike attitude to stress is intriguing and his journey which sees him giving up college， learning how to enjoy his life， getting a girlfriend and heading to New York to visit his brother is engaging。 I love Mr Loe's work。 Highly recommend。 。。。more

Naif。 Süper。 è un libro davvero particolare in grado di raccontare con leggerezza e ironia un periodo delicato della vita di molte persone， ovvero il passaggio dalla vita da studente a quella da adulto。 La scrittura è molto semplice， frammentaria， fatta di frasi brevi ma non banale。 L'ho trovato molto efficace nel raccontare la confusione e lo spaesamento di questo periodo。 Consigliato soprattutto a chi sta vivendo questo momento， a chi si sente perso e confuso。 "Tutto mi pareva senza senso。 Cos Naif。 Süper。 è un libro davvero particolare in grado di raccontare con leggerezza e ironia un periodo delicato della vita di molte persone， ovvero il passaggio dalla vita da studente a quella da adulto。 La scrittura è molto semplice， frammentaria， fatta di frasi brevi ma non banale。 L'ho trovato molto efficace nel raccontare la confusione e lo spaesamento di questo periodo。 Consigliato soprattutto a chi sta vivendo questo momento， a chi si sente perso e confuso。 "Tutto mi pareva senza senso。 Così， di colpo。La mia vita， la vita degli altri， la vita di piante e animali， il mondo intero。 Niente più quadrava。L’ho detto a mio fratello。 Lui non era in grado di capirlo。 Si è alzato e mi ha detto， su， dai， shit happens， andrà tutto bene。 Ha cercato di tirarmi in piedi， mi ha fraternamente preso a pugni nello stomaco con qualche grido di incoraggiamento。 Mio fratello giocava a hockey sul ghiaccio。 È lì che ha imparato a gridare。 Gli ho detto di starsene calmo。 Che era una cosa seria。Mio fratello si è seduto e se ne è stato calmo。" 。。。more

I’ve never related to a book more than this one。Before I started this book， I read Einstein’s dreams by Alan Lightman and this was a great follow up read。 When I think again， it would probably be better if I read Naïve。 Super first， but I am satisfied with how it turned out （I didn’t know that Naïve。 Super had something to do with time in it）。Einstein’s dreams is at it's core， a book about time， but Naïve。 Super is a book where one of the relevant things is time。 Either way， I recommend reading I’ve never related to a book more than this one。Before I started this book， I read Einstein’s dreams by Alan Lightman and this was a great follow up read。 When I think again， it would probably be better if I read Naïve。 Super first， but I am satisfied with how it turned out （I didn’t know that Naïve。 Super had something to do with time in it）。Einstein’s dreams is at it's core， a book about time， but Naïve。 Super is a book where one of the relevant things is time。 Either way， I recommend reading these two one after another。 。。。more

En bok som får livet til å virke litt enklere。 Litt koseligere。 Litt behageligere。 Med et enkelt språk gir Loe oss et blikk inn i noen uker av hovedpersonen sitt liv。 Hovedpersonen er sympatisk og gir oss et interessant liv inn i en 25 år gammel mann sine tanker på mitten av nittitallet。 En bok jeg ble anbefalt av et par personer som ikke leser så mye， og det kan jeg se。 Det er en fin bok å plukke opp hvis man ikke er så interessert i tunge romaner， og spesielt hvis man er menn i 20 års alderen。

Was intrigued by the title of this short novel but was ultimately disappointed。 I have lukewarm feelings about the narration style， which made the main character sound autistic。 Maybe he is on the spectrum， which would explain a how he deals with his midlife crisis。 I didn't find him relatable， even though I've had episodes of the same existential dread before。 In the end， the story mirrored how the narrator felt about everything， pretty pointless。 Two stars because there were a few charming mom Was intrigued by the title of this short novel but was ultimately disappointed。 I have lukewarm feelings about the narration style， which made the main character sound autistic。 Maybe he is on the spectrum， which would explain a how he deals with his midlife crisis。 I didn't find him relatable， even though I've had episodes of the same existential dread before。 In the end， the story mirrored how the narrator felt about everything， pretty pointless。 Two stars because there were a few charming moments when he spent time with his kid neighbour， I pictured it like those movies where a manchild gets acquainted with a real child and together they make sense of the world。 It's really too bad the story shifted to New York， it was meaningless from there on。 。。。more

This was definitely a nice short read， although I feel like it doesn't have the most solid of plots， I still feel like it's got a nice message， about just making sure to feel like what you're doing has some sort of meaning to you， and making sure you are happy with yourself。 Nice book！ This was definitely a nice short read， although I feel like it doesn't have the most solid of plots， I still feel like it's got a nice message， about just making sure to feel like what you're doing has some sort of meaning to you， and making sure you are happy with yourself。 Nice book！ 。。。more

I have read this books several times over the years in both Norwegian and English。 It works in both languages， but has a different feel: it feels more wierd and meloncally in English， and is more of a dry whit/ morbidly funny in Norwegian。 It's standard reading public schools in Norway and indeed is a modern classic in Norway。 It was one of my favorite books of all time in my 20s， now that I have had more exposure to different types of literature， I'm not sure I would rate quite as high， but I s I have read this books several times over the years in both Norwegian and English。 It works in both languages， but has a different feel: it feels more wierd and meloncally in English， and is more of a dry whit/ morbidly funny in Norwegian。 It's standard reading public schools in Norway and indeed is a modern classic in Norway。 It was one of my favorite books of all time in my 20s， now that I have had more exposure to different types of literature， I'm not sure I would rate quite as high， but I still really like it。 。。。more
