Welcome to Litsy!

Planning for a long weekend: 1 physical book, 4 audiobooks, and 10 books on my Kobo. Why does this not feel like enough?

You're right. I should probably add another small physical book. The tagged should work. And there are always bookstores.

I LOVED this novel! I just finished it, and now I'm immediately starting his other novel, "The Invoice."

Vet inte varför denna stått oläst i bokhyllan så länge och novellsamlingar kan verkligen vara ett så fantastiskt format. Håller helt med recensenten ovan, novellen rummet var favoriten.

What the hell did I just read? It was... I don't know what it was. It was Sheldon from Big Bang meets The Office meets... fucked if I know.

I needed something 'odd' to read 🤡

Jonas Karlsson hat mit "Das Zimmer" eine faszinierende Geschichte über die Groteske der Arbeitswelt geliefert, wie ein einziger Rausch – mit den gleichen Entzugserscheinungen, wenn er wieder vorbei es.

Dieses Buch muss ich unbedingt weiter empfehlen! Es ist ein wunderbares Psychogramm über die Arbeitswelt im Allgemeinen und über einen Menschen im Besonderen, der ganz sacht von der vorgegebenen Funktionalität abweicht, so dass sich am Ende alle fragen, wer ist der Norm entsprechend und wer will das wirklich sein. Ein absolutes Lesevergnügen!
#JonasKarlsson - “Das Zimmer�

I really enjoyed this short, comic, Kafkaesque novel. The protagonist narrator would be a terrible person to have to actually share a cubicle hive with, but he was never boring, and it was entertaining and thought provoking to watch him grapple with his discovery of a mysterious room at the office.

This was a pretty quick read - part of me wishes there had been a bit more info, but then it's also fun trying to guess what's going on. And I did not like the narrator, but I did sympathize with him.

Ok
