Air by Christian Kracht
I've got the Norwegian translation of this novel, but if I remember correctly, the English translation will be released next month. Air is about an interior designer located in Stromness (Orkney), who travels to Stavanger (Norway) for a job at data center, but a solar storm changes everything.
The Endless Summer by Madame Nielsen
It's supposed to be a passionate love story between a Danish woman and a much younger Portugese artist. I'm usually not one for love stories, but as this author is more down the line of inellectual literary fiction rather than cheese romance, I think I'll manage to read this one without gagging.
Summer Light, and Then Comes the Night by Jón Kalman Stefánsson
I've had this one in my TBR for quite some years now, so I thought it was perhaps time I soon read it. As I've enjoyed Icelandic literature in the past, I'm hopeful with this one.
A Boy's Own Story by Edmund White
Another one of those books I've had in my TBR for ages, which makes me think I need to read it soon. As it's about growing up in the 50's and being gay, it could be an interesting read.
The Gods of Tango by Carolina de Robertis
Historical fiction set in Buenos Aires, tango, and a violinist who has to hide who she is in order to survive. I've had this book for a few years, and I think it's time I picked it up.
Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart
I'm usually a bit wary of hyped/popular books, but as it's set in Glasgow in the 80's, I'll give it a try.
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
As mentioned, I'm a bit wary of hyped/popular books, but I've had this one in my TBR for a few years now and I'm a bit curious what the hype is about when it comes to this book.
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Crime and Punishment is one of those Russian classics I feel I should have read, so I might just pick it up this month.
