It took me sooo long to get through this. Several reasons, 1) The book is quite long, 2) it was my first e-book and that is just not the same as a normal paper book, and 3) the book does have its length. Yes, the scheming is brilliant, but the way the characters are introduced is a bit too long-winding for my taste. Obviously a classic and must-read, but one should take its time. 1 week ago
I meant to go last year already, but got sick in the minute so had to stay home. So now I finally made and I am so glad. I am having a good time meeting interesting, knowledgable and professional people, so life is good. 2 weeks ago
From the back cover I thought I could not not like this book, but I really suffered through it. While the story line is ok, there is not one character that has been developed thoroughly, the writing sometimes could be better and overall it just doesn’t work. 2 weeks ago
Going to the beach for the Easter vacation was the best thing to do. I enjoyed the book feeling the sun on my skin, looking at the sea and only layed it down for some snorkeling and eating good food. It was the perfect addition to that. 1 month ago

I liked it. An easy to read spy story, with lots of references to current politics etc. Nothing to last, but quick, easy and nice. 2 months ago
I cleaned out my closet at my parents house which really exists for no reason. I went trough all the clothes I wore at the end of high school and start of college. They were things I wore over and over again, I guess that’s the reason I couldn’t let them go. Now it’s time, so bye-bye my favorite shirts from a long time ago. 4 years ago
Picked it up at the airport before boarding an 11 hour flight. I got exactly what I was hoping for – a quick interesting read. I actually liked this book better than a few of the later ones, because it is almost going back to basics. So that was nice and easy. 2 months ago
Finally starting on this year’s reading and the first pick were almost a 1000 pages of Shantaram. I really liked the way the book made the characters and India come alive for me. I have a clear picture of every character, every street and every emotion. This is very rare for me. I also liked the story – a mixture of easy smiles, emotions, action and some philosophical questions about life. The last 200 pages (the Afghanistan episode) could have been shortened, but overall a very nice read. 2 months ago
Still not sure how to tackle this one. I made up a few routines and put them on rootein.com. The website is not great, really, but it does help to track daily routines. Any ideas for other websites are welcome – or maybe 43 things could add this. Anyway.. things are going so so. I was doing quite well on some (not so well on others) and now that I have started travelling again, it’s all back to square one. Argh… 2 months ago
Now it becomes tricky. Palestine has been recognized as a state by 130 countries, but despite the UN recognition as an observer last year, this does not count as a state recognized by the UN.
This whole situation is so difficult… it’s frustrating just to watch, unthinkable to be involved in. 2 months ago

it was a bad day for getting the basics done. Basically I didn’t. I got home late after, i went from work to a birthday party etc. No excuses, i know. But if would get it done everyday, I wouldn’t need the goal, I guess. Tomorrow will be a better day

It was an interesting read, just not enough to fill a whole book. The consequence was a lot of repetitions. Basically, all the interesting stuff was said in the first chapter and then repeated with an additional detail here and there. 4 months ago

I want to do this before the christmas break and leave for the holidays with a clean slate. As of now, that leaves 215 emails in my mailbox and 4 reports to write. There are 9 working days left before the break and some additional things will come up, but I really, really want to mark this goal done for once. 5 months ago
