Scandinavians: In Search of the Soul of the North by Robert Ferguson

reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.5

I really enjoyed this book but I can see how other people might not. I think it helps to go into it fully aware that organization essentially doesn't exist. It's a guy telling stories about Scandinavia, and sometimes he's going to pause and pursue a tangent about the bar he's currently drinking in, and if you're in the mood to hang out and listen it's delightful and perceptive and occasionally beautiful and if you're not in the mood it's completely insufferable. 

Also, there is a play in the middle, which you will either love or loathe, depending on your mood.
