Sweden falls in love with a novel about growing old.

'When the Cranes Fly South,' the debut novel by a sociology doctoral student, has captivated nearly 200,000 readers in a country of ten million inhabitants, where reading is on the decline.

The bestseller is set to be translated into about 30 languages.

#CurrentlyReading 888 Love and the Divine Burden of Numbers by Abraham Chang

There are too many obnoxious extroverts, and it's actually draining me to read this. Also really dislike the protagonist, annoying in a different way.

Thematically not bad: multiculturalism, coming of age, and with the protagonist's thing with numbers maybe undiagnosed OCD?

I'm plodding my way through this in short bursts.
