My Struggle, Book Six by Karl Ove Knausgård

4.0

3,704 pages is the most time I've spent with one character, author and world since Harry Potter. These books are addictive, the prose is self-propelling and intoxicating. I have to admit Book 6 stopped me in my tracks half-way through the essay on Hitler. I returned the book the library and then re-borrowed it and finished months later. The long tangent into Hitler's upbringing and early 20th century Europe was interesting, but hard to sustain any reading momentum. As a whole, these volumes stand alone as one the most unique, experimental, influential and courageous stories I've ever read.
