Didn't you recently read Severin's Viking series, which starts with Odin's Child? I think I read that one myself. Mr.Abc and I both enjoyed his Brendan Voyage. Time to investigate further; Corsair looks promising. Do tell!

I read the 2nd in the trilogy 'Sworn Enemy' last year and enjoyed it,tho' it's not really the standard 'viking' story,but the hero is well-travelled in both land and life! Just The King's Man left to read before I start Corsair.

^^ Hey I got a Roberto Bolano book today too. :whistling:

And I finally found a Siri Hustvedt book.


We Have Always Lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson
What I Loved - Siri Hustvedt
Amulet - Roberto Bolano
 
There were a bunch of Bolano's on the shelf. To hold down the number of books in our basket -- already too many -- I skipped Amulet. We were only on the B's with all the rest of the alphabet to do. Eventually escaped with only one full basket. :eek:

I'll be interested in hearing your reaction to the Hustvedt book.
I've never been able to get into Bolano...I read about 2/3rds or so of 2666 and just couldn't finish.

I read the Jackson only last year and loved it. Happy reading! :D
