Book review Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki
Book review Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki Book review Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki – a book on minimalism and simplifying life. “Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo―he’s just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn’t absolutely need.” This blurb is borrowed from the Amazon description of the book. Regular guy – just like you Fumio Sasaki is just that. A regular guy on a path towards freedom from things cluttering his home. I had heard a lot of good…

Book review: Min Historie af Michelle Obama
Bog anmeldelse af Michelle Obamas biografi Michelle Obama biografi – Min Historie (eller Becoming Michelle). “Der er stadig meget, jeg ikke ved om USA, om livet, om hvad fremtiden vil bringe. Men jeg kender mig selv. Min far, Fraser, lærte mig at arbejde hårdt, le ofte og holde ord. Min mor, Marian, viste mig, hvordan jeg skulle tænke selvstændigt og bruge min stemme. I vores trange lejlighed i Chicagos South Side hjalp de mig med at se værdien af vores historie, af min historie, af vort lands større historie. Selv når det ikke er kønt eller perfekt. Selv når det er mere virkeligt, end man har lyst til, at det…

Bog anmeldelse: Kvinde kend dit netværk
Bog anmeldelse af Kvinde kend dit netværk Det er faktisk allerede længe siden jeg læste Kvinde kend dit netværk af Katja Iversen. Men jeg har allerede anbefalet den til en del (ikke kun kvinder) i min faglige omgangskreds. Nu skal du høre hvorfor. Kvinde kend dit netværk af Katja Iversen “Netværk er et håndværk. Det kræver en del øvelse tilsat lidt nysgerrighed og et drys mod til at overskride egne grænser. Bliver du nervøs undervejs? Sikkert. Er det stadig indsatsen værd? Ja! Du ved det godt: Vi får bedre ideer, når længere og udretter mere, hvis vi arbejder sammen med andre. Vi har brug for nyt input for at tænke…

Book review: The Theater and its double
Book review of The Theater and its double “The Theatre and its double” by Antonin Artaud is a collection of letters and manifests, in the book I’ve got. It relates the theatre in its broadest sense, to all sorts of phenomenons and events. All wrapped up in Artauds personal attitude towards what constitutes theatre. The theater and its double by Antonin Artaud “The Theater and Its Double is far and away the most important thing that has been written about the theater in the twentieth century…. It should be read again and again …. Artaud oozed magical desires. He was the metaphysician of the theater. – Jean-Louis Barrault. A collection…

What I read in April 2020
What I read in April 2020 It’s time to find out what I read in April 2020. Let’s wrap up the month and see what books I read, liked, didn’t like and more. I’ll also dive into a few readathons I’ve participated in. Maybe we will even get around to see if I made any progress on my reading challenges in April 2020. First of all, I just want to stress the fact that I don’t see reading as a competition and I do have months where I don’t read anything, and other times where I read a lot of books. It all depends on my mood, my sparetime and…
