Norwegian Wood: Chopping, Stacking, and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way | 
My husband picked this book up on the recommendation of a friend and seems to be really enjoying it. He reads a chapter or two every night and always shares an interesting passage or two with me. Tonight‘s fun fact? Retired Norwegian men, according to the book, spend an average of 98 hours of firewood related activities per year... I wonder what I‘ll learn tomorrow? 🪓🌲🌲🌲🪓
pickI listened to this because I thought it would be really interesting to hear about the culture of wood fires. To my surprise this was a really good discussion in the opportunities in clean burning fireplaces.

Starting this one while I cleaning the apartment. I‘m pretty sure already that I‘m going to want to own an copy of this after finishing it. It‘s so good and extremely interesting.

pickAn informative, easily read book on an integral part of Norwegian culture and life. I learned of the author, Lars Mytting, while watching the NRK's National Firewood Evening program on Netflix. Why watch a whole evening of television devoted to all stages of firewood? Because it's informative and thoughtful and more than a bit relaxing. Like the book. Mytting gets to the core cultural importance of the wood fire to Norwegians.
Phil is more of a magazine reader. This week he mentioned some books he'd like to read, so of course I ordered them for him immediately.
This whole book is about people winning at wood. I am now motivated to have the best damned stack of wood on my hill.
It's wood stove season here in Oregon.
