reading books in English I use to read books in English. One of my favourite author is Ian McEwan. The first book of his I bought at a flee market, where you could fill a plastic bag with books and pay only 100 kr for the whole bag. The book was "The innocent". It took me forever to get through the first 20 pages. I didn¨t get the story at all, I was about to give up. Then after 20 pages I was hooked. The story was so fascinating, both romantic and horrible. I have read other books by the same author since, and he never disappoints me. Well written and unpredictable stories. And there is always that something in the story that tells you that things is going wrong and whatever you do, it´s not going to make it right. And you are happy it´s not your life.

reading books in English

I use to read books in English. One of my favourite authors is Ian McEwan.(Om du menar du har flera favoriter, och han är bara ett exempel, det här är rätt.) The first book of his I bought was at a flee market, (Om du lämnar som det var, det skulle mena att du senare köpte fler böcker där i "flea market", men jag tycker inte att du menade den där)    where you could fill a plastic bag with books and pay only 100 kr for the whole bag. The book was "The innocent".

It took me forever to get through the first 20 pages. I didn't get the story at all, I was about to give up. Then after 20 pages I was hooked. The story was so fascinating, both romantic and horrible.

I have read other books by the same author since, and he never disappoints me. They are well written and unpredictable stories (Den gamla förstods, men är inte en färdig fras, därför att det fanns inte en verb där. När man talar på engelska, ofta man säger ofärdiga fraser fast man skulle inte, så jag visste vad du menade). And there is always that something in the story that tells you that things are going wrong and whatever you do, it´s not going to make it right. And you are happy it´s not your life.
