Louise | 120 comments Hi :-)
Have you read other books by Arto P.? (the guy who wrote The Year of the Hare) - I've read a couple that were very funny.

Hi! I haven't yet, I find it quite difficult to find Scandiwegian authors who aren't crime writers and this seemed like a good place to start!

This is another one begging for a group read...

Siân I've managed to do three so far (decided to add Rich Fulcher's book for USA, not the most high brow book in the world but a) he is American and b) it made me laugh on the train)!

If I feel lazy later on, I'll let myself say I've read a UK book because, technically, I have... just not the one I chose in the first place :p
