Troubled by an inability to find any meaning in his life, the 25-year-old narrator of this deceptively simple novel quits university and eventually arrives at his brother's New York apartment.

In a bid to discover what life is all about, he writes lists. He becomes obsessed by time and whether it actually matters. He faxes his meteorologist friend. He endlessly bounces a ball against the wall. He befriends a small boy who lives next door.

He yearns to get to the bottom of life and how best to live it.

The search in the library and the complete listing of names and books is really over the top…. Does not even put the listener to sleep, It is irritating. I guess that was the goal, but it can feel hurtful to the people with given names. Otherwise a pleasant listen. Occasionally the reader lowers their voice too much. The loudness becomes uneven.

It felt like catcher in the rye

Bridget jones dupe. Fast paced. Easy read. In Norwegian. Might read again when I know the language.

Numerous and lengthy list-writing throughout did not add much to the story. Somewhat introspective but pretty tame.
