Reading...made interesting

I am not the type of person to stand in the book store for hours on end deciding which book to read next. :relaxed: I’m not the type of person to read every blurb of possible contenders, and then vote them out one-by-one like the game of Survivor. :see_no_evil:

I am the type of person who stealthily notices your reaction to the book you are reading (whether it be on a plane, train or bus), and then do my best to get hold of that same book to find out why! :eyes:

I was traveling from Lyngby to Copenhagen roughly three years ago, when a lady gets on the train with a book. :steam_locomotive:The trip lasted 30 minutes, with her constantly giggling at every page.
I was intrigued. I needed to know why. What made this book so funny? :thinking:

Like a lion stalking its prey, I quietly and carefully tried to catch a glimpse of the cover. As she gets up to leave, I finally throw an eyeball her way, and have my first look at the cover.

IT IS IN DANISH! NOOOOOOOO! :scream:

Next step: Project Problem Solve! :bulb:

I frantically start googling the picture I saw on the front cover; “Danish book, girl glasses”; “Big glasses, girl, Danish”; “best books to read in Denmark”.

After many google searches and trips to the nearest book store, I finally managed to figure it out and I was so excited! :star_struck:

May I present to you:

A fun, witty read that will not only have you intrigued from start to finish, but will make you not want to put the book down! :nerd_face:

I have never heard of this book @ChereeKr but I love the investigation you did to find it!! :face_with_monocle:
I’ve seen people read novels I’ve read before on the commute, and I loved watching their faces while reading too! :nerd_face:

It has been a long time since I’ve read a novel :see_no_evil:. It looks interesting! Funny way to find it, by the way :yum:. It reminds me when one looks for a song in google and writes “song that sounds like nanananununa :musical_note:”.

If Google were a person, I think it would just crazily stare at me for hours, wondering what on earth is happening in my mind because of all the creative things I search! :rofl:

Very nice @ChereeKr! I read this book and really enjoyed it as well – quite funny, even more so if you’re familiar with the behavior of private school parents :joy:

I haven’t seen the movie - I should line that up for next weekend!
