In an attempt to broaden my literary horizons, I have ordered and eventually also received a couple of books (from bokkilden.no, if anyone was wondering).
First book on my plate was Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, publicized in 1861. Better than I thought it would be, and I can understand why it's being seen as a classic. The next one I'm starting on is Siddharta (1922), by Hermann Hesse, before I finish up (so far) with Candide (1759), by Voltaire.
Along with the above mentioned, I also ordered Catcher in the Rye (1951), byJ. D. Salinger, but apparently they didn't have that in stock or something, and thus wasn't sent along with the other books.
After I've read all these books, I plan to acquire more of similar caliber. Maybe All Quiet on the Western Front, Nineteen Eighty-Four or To Kill a Mockingbird? We'll see.

Seriøse greier...men tru ej helde mej fortsatt til Jo Nesbø og norsk krim. Føle det e litt meir min stil, høres litt for avansert ut med dissa klassiske bøkene ;)
Forresten - he du lest "Ringdrotten", den nynorske versjonen ta LOTR? He den stående i hylla...hehe :P
Ej he vel lest ei bok av Jo Nesbø ej også, og det gav igrunn meirsmak, så kanskje ej skal gjer litt research og finne ut ka bøke ej bør lese og i ka rekkefølge. Ej lika å lese ting i rekkefølge. Hehe ;)
Og ej he gjort et par forsøk på å lese Ringdrotten ja. Ej kjøpte den sjøl i den tida da ej campa i leiligheta di mens du va på ferie. Trur det tilogmed e bilde av den en eller anna plass i denne bloggen =P
