Dalton Conley Why Dalton loves this book

I read everything Karl Ove Knausgaard writes -- the thousands and thousands of pages he's penned. I have heard he's called the modern day Proust, and I would second that. In his My Struggle, almost nothing happens, yet it's impossible to put down. In this series, which started with The Morning Star, much happens, but we still get the rich internal life of the characters in their first person perspective. The Third Realm is the third of four books in the series, and I can't wait for the next one to be translated into English. I love listening to Knausgaard on audiobook. I feel like I have a front row seat to hearing his thoughts unspool, and this mind wonders in the most interesting and unexpected directions.
