Patos XIV - 091219 - Kungsholmen





Time passed without the two remaining books getting read by all three Patos members. Not finishing a Patos book means you get to treat the other members to a dinner, which is what Anders did on the 19:th of December - a christmas buffet. Select beers and Underberg helped us wash down our delicacies, and many books were discussed - eventually even the ones that were supposed to have been read till this meeting... These three books (Människohamn included) came close to ruining Patos. We will revise our regulations... Until next meeting we will read four books, and that is a new thing. Another new thing is that two of us have already read one of them books, and two other of us (sort of) have read another one of them books. Evolution.

Book 31 - "Förbländningen" (Auto-da-Fé) by Elias Canetti (1931)
Anders X - It feels good to serve dinner instead of squandering my time.
Ola 2 - I have yet to quit a book till I have reached the last page, but here it was close. Arduous without recompense.
Krister 2 - Pure hell to read.
Average rating 2

Book 32 - "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski (2000)
Anders X - Maybe a masterpiece that I will maybe finish sometime in my life. Black. Tape-recorder. No sound.
Ola 5 - A book about a guy who knows a guy that finds sheets of paper at a dead man's place. These sheets of paper contains a story about a man who has made a film in a house with an inside that is bigger than the outside. Different and arduous, but rewarding.
Krister X - Lovely. Now that I have read Ola's comment I needn't read the book.
Average rating (?) 5
