One of the things you may or not expect from a Norwegian Literature class is a lot of reading. This is most certainly the case because I was given one day to read a 225 page novel entitled "The Birds" by Tarjei Vesaas. Well, as you may expect, I didn't have a lot of free time today so there is not a lot to report. 
I was however able to attend the screening of the first time in the ISS Film Series. This film was a Norwegian film made in 2003 and is called Salmer
Fra Kjøkkenet (or "Kitchen Stories"). It was a really good movie about a man sent to observe single males and their habits in the kitchen so a Swedish company could design a better kitchen layout. The man is not supposed to form any personal bonds to the "host," but he does indeed and a strong friendship forms. I highly recommend this movie!
Well, back to reading!
