Independent People

October marks the sixth month anniversary of the day I first encountered

Independent People
by Halldor Laxness

[It drives me insane that I can't underline the title - the only options are to italics and BOLD. This great novel is deserving of both. And an underline...]

Sixth months to read a novel?!?! What is my world coming to... a lot of schoolwork and survival activities have trampled in on my reading time, but.... c'est la vie in academia.

The novel is a phenomenal sample of Icelandic culture and history that truly feeds my Iceland infatuated soul. I have a lot more to say, but just thinking about it I realize, I'd rather go read than continue blogging this very minute.
