I

am starting this reading journal with a project! For the last few months or so i have been collecting (thank you ebay, alibris, abebooks and amazon) as many hamsun books i could find. I will be reading everything of his that is currently available in an english translation; his novels, travel writing, short fiction, collected letters and essays as well as the bios available. I will not be looking for nor reading any of his poetry nor his plays because i could care less about them and they probably suck anyways....i will also be re-reading his works i have grown up on...

Of the 30 plus books of his, i have been fortunate enough to track down and buy 28 of them, the last two elusive ones are currently cost prohibitive, but i will win in the end..when i get paid and the girlfriend looks the other way.
