Läser #SolvejBalle's Om udregning af rumfang (bok 3 av 6 just nu). Det har dragits paralleller till Bill Murray-filmen Måndag hela veckan, men det verk som det mest av allt påminner mig om är solorollspelet Thousand Year Old Vampire (#TYOV).
I TYOV spelar man en vampyr, en odödlig, och antecknar dess minnen. Årtionden passerar, världen förändrar sig och man kan bara ha fem minnen (det är sen gammalt).

On the Calculation of Volume, I and II, by Solvej Balle
I finished Volume II late last night at a gallop. I did not want to read it: it's been moving forward balefully towards the top of my TBR queue for some months, and I've been avoiding it. 'Here I am. I am Literary. Knausgard has said that I am "absolutely, absolutely incredible" (note the significant double adjective). There are three more volumes of me to read when the translators and author have perfected them, and I am a massive European Work of Art.' It's very off-putting. These two […]https://katemacdonald.net/2026/04/17/on-the-calculation-of-volume-i-and-ii-by-solvej-balle/

Book 13: “On the Calculation of Volume (Book 1)” by #SolvejBalle.
A woman keeps waking up to Nov. 18th. Non-sci-fi with a sci-fi premise! Tara tests the boundaries of her circumscribed life, driven by curiosity, philosophy, and despair. Short, but it drags sometimes as you’re trapped in the monotony with her. Even though I’d like to learn what becomes of her, I don’t think I can read the full septology. Hubby said the 2nd didn’t add anything.
Det fyrste eg gjorde når eg ankom København var å gå til nærmaste opne bokhandlar og kjøpe #SolvejBalle si nyaste. «Om udregning af rumfang VI». Halvanna år har eg venta på denne! Eg las den førre påska i fjor.
No må eg berre lese dei siste ~50 sidane i noverande bok så eg kan fokusere på det viktigaste.

"On the Calculation of Volume" by Solvej Balle
Fantastic book. I read it in one day. I don't think I've done that before.
It's a Danish book about a woman stuck in a time loop, like Groundhog Day, but with some notable differences. Like, if she buys things, she might still have them the next time she wakes up.
It's a seven-book series. Two have been translated to English so far. I'll have to learn Danish so I can read the rest 😅
