Doppler av Erlend Loe er en ellevill, absurd og morsom roman av en forfatter som ikke nekter seg noe i en tekst som også byr på alvorlige undertoner og kritikk av det moderne forbrukersamfunnet. Andreas Doppler er en vellykket mann av sin tid. Familiefar med to barn og god jobb. En dag faller han av sykkelen på en tur i marka. Halvt svimeslått registrerer han en ro han ikke har kjent på lenge. Han slipper de trivielle tankene om nytt bad og valget om armatur og fliser. Borte er også den evinnelige surringen av barnesangene fra sønnens tallrike videoer, mens erkjennelsen om farens død blir tydeligere. Hendelsen får ham til å velge å flytte ut i marka. Han bosetter seg i telt, slakter en elg og får kalven som venn og adoptivsønn. Han prøver å leve som jeger og sanker, men må erkjenne at når det gjelder behovet for skummet melk, må han ta steget videre til bytteøkonomi. Doppler er første bok i en trilogi. Bok to er Volvo Lastvagnar og den tredje Slutten på verden slik vi kjenner den.

The intergalactic adventures of Arthur Dent begin in the first volume of the 'trilogy of five', Douglas Adams' comedy sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, read by Stephen Fry. 'One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius' - David Walliams 'By turns authoritative as the narrator, bemused as Arthur Dent, deadpan as Ford Prefect and manic as Zaphod Beeblebrox, he [Stephen Fry] makes an altogether appropriate reader' - The Times 'Master of comedy Stephen Fry delivers a brilliant audiobook narration' - Editor Review On 12 October 1979 the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity – The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed with the big, friendly words: DON'T PANIC. The weekend has only just begun . . . Follow Arthur Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the rest of the trilogy with five parts: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless.

Og hva er det egentlig som er feil med folk nå for tiden?

The Seven Year Slip

Svensk ellevill bestselger - en fenomenal reise gjennom samtidshistorien. Svensk sensommer, 2011. Petra, selvlært astrofysiker og nå dommedagsprofet, har regnet ut at atmosfæren kollapser 21. sep-tember samme år, kl. 21.20. Nå befinner hun seg on the road i en husbil med Johan, ikke verdens smarteste, men dog en mester-kokk, og hans søster Agnes, en enke på syttifem år med hang til å tjene penger på nettet. Trioen har det travelt. Innen jorden går under, skal de rekke helt frem til Roma der Johan skal gi storebroren sin et sannhetens ord og en ørefik. Selvsagt går ingenting som planlagt. «Det er lett å forstå hva som gjør Jonassons bøker så enormt populære. Han har en egen evne til å kombinere et hurtig tempo med en stor porsjon humor. Legg til det populærhistoriske anslaget som er regelen i Jonassons bøker heller enn unntaket, og du får en cocktail som, for å si det med en klisjé, inneholder noe for enhver. Profeten og idioten er ikke noe unntak.» Aftonbladet «... forbasket godt.» Alingsås Tidning «En latterbombe. Svenske Jonas Jonasson briljerer igjen.» [terningkast 5] Joakim Tjøstheim, Dagbladet

Profeten og idioten

"Unge mann, sier von Borring, du har problemer. Håndtrykket ditt er dødt. Øynene er vasne. Du trenger hjelp." "Jeg vet ikke hva jeg trenger, sier Doppler. Men hjelp høres ut som en begynnelse." Värmland. Sverige. Skog overalt. En utgammel dame kommer i skade for å mishandle undulatene sine. En like utgammel speider ser på fugler og lengter. Inn i dette vesle universet kommer Andreas Doppler gående. Volvo Lastvagnar fortsetter der fjorårets roman Doppler slutter. Vi følger samme person og samme elg et stykke inn i Värmland, hvor de møter en speider som har sovet ute tjuefem tusen ganger og en narkoman gammel dame som vil forandre verden. Forfatteren nekter seg ingenting denne gangen, og resultatet er en vilter og leken tekst som noen vil trykke til sitt bryst og andre vil sky som pesten.

I Hope This Finds You Well

Now a movie starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, USA Today bestselling author Sally Thorne’s hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love. Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome. 2) A person’s undoing 3) Joshua Templeman Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual. Trapped in a shared office together forty (ok, fifty or sixty) hours a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. There’s the Staring Game. The Mirror Game. The HR Game. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything—especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking. If Lucy wins this game, she’ll be Joshua’s boss. If she loses, she’ll resign. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like she’s got a hot date? After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she’s got Joshua Templeman all wrong. Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game. This production includes a bonus excerpt from Sally Thorne’s next audiobook, 99 Percent Mine.

How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways

Glimrende satire fra Loe, Schreiner & Johannessen som er teamet bak NRK-seriene Kampen for tilværelsen og nå Gutta på skauen. 1. september 1939 gikk Hitler inn i Polen, og andre verdenskrig var i gang. Norge erklærte seg nøytralt, men et halvt år senere, 9. april 1940, invaderte tyskerne likevel landet. Kongen og regjeringen forlot landet for å drive kampen videre fra London. I årene som fulgte, valgte mange unge norske kvinner og menn å bli del av motstandsgrupper, ofte med stor fare for eget liv. Noen av disse gruppene dro til skogs for å drive motstandsarbeidet derfra. Dette er fortellingen om en slik gruppe.

Gutta på skauen

Ingrid Winter sitter fast. I huset hun ikke får solgt, i FAU-møter, i jobbkonflikter, i frykten for dørselgere, i et ekteskap som har mistet gnisten, i sin egen hverdagsangst. Bedre blir det ikke når hun ufrivillig blir plukket ut som representant i en jobbdelegasjon til St. Petersburg. Det skal være starten på forskningssamarbeid over landegrensene, men med Ingrid Winters deltagelse utarter det raskt til kaos, trusler om å bli sendt til Sibir og hostesaft som ikke er hva den utgir seg for å være. Men kanskje er en dose kaos akkurat det som trengs når alt har stivnet i et liv? ]]>

Ingrid Winters makeløse mismot

Ingrid har fått sitt etterlengtede professorat, og ser for seg en tilværelse preget av rolig forskning og fordypning i litteraturen hun elsker så høyt. Men den nyansatte instituttbestyreren med MA i endringsledelse vil det annerledes, og Ingrid befinner seg med ett på dypt vann når hun ved en misforståelse stiller opp som kunstekspert hos NRK. Samtidig ryker ekteskapet for de perfekte naboene Katti og Steinar, noe som får Ingrid til å bekymre seg for sitt eget samliv. Hva er det egentlig som holder henne og Bjørnar sammen? Hva skjer med deres felles prosjekt når barna snart forlater redet? Ingrids foreldre inviterer storfamilien til Roma for å feire livet, kjærligheten og en dobbel 75-årsdag, og Ingrid kommer som vanlig i skyggen av sin søster, som nyter stor suksess med sin bok om vellykkede skilsmisser (med blurb av selveste Peder Kjøs). På den elleville reisen kulminerer all Ingrids frykt for alt hun kan miste: mannen, barna, kjærligheten og selvrespekten.

Drømmenes sykkelregister

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey returns with an all-new sports rom-com about a burly, surly, single dad who falls head-over-hockey-stick for his quirky live-in nanny... Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She’s also twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood and being around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween. Her tween charge isn’t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though. According to…well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself pulled between his daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the “right” thing—breaks her own heart and walks away. Though Burgess knows it’s for the best—he’s too jaded, with too much baggage—a chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything on the line and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a happily ever after with Tallulah.

The Au Pair Affair

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey launches a super sexy sports romance series with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan... Wells Whitaker was once golf’s hottest rising star, but lately, all he has to show for his “promising” career is a killer hangover, a collection of broken clubs, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays, the beautiful, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses, she cheers. He scowls, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life. Josephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash… As they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they’re inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life? But Wells is technically her boss and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right?

The Dead Romantics

The first in a spicy and unforgettable rom-com duology from #1 New York Times bestseller and tik tok favorite Tessa Bailey, in which a Hollywood “It Girl” is cut off from her wealthy family and exiled to a small Pacific Northwest beach town... where she butts heads with a surly, sexy local who thinks she doesn’t belong. Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father’s dive bar... in Washington. Piper hasn’t even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won’t last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Piper can’t do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. How bad could it really be? She’s determined to show her stepfather—and the hot, grumpy local—that she’s more than a pretty face. Except it’s a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there’s an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn’t want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. LA is calling her name, but Brendan—and this town full of memories—may have already caught her heart.

Gamle Giæver bruker sine siste dager på jorda til å orientere unge Giæver om familiehistorien, om praktiske ting som gjørmestanga, pick-upen, meiseboller, puter, skuter, damer og ikke minst om den åtte hundre år gamle konflikten med Iunkerfamilien på nabogården. Giæver har ikke lyst til å forlate dette livet uten at skikker og sedvaner, kunnskap, livsvisdom og hatet mot Iunkerne føres videre av neste generasjon. «Du! Hei! Se på meg når jeg snakker! Noterer du? Er du klar? Har du slått på opptakeren? Jeg vil at du tar opp det jeg sier og noterer samtidig. Da får du med deg alt. For det som ikke fortelles forsvinner.

Ingrid Winters hverdag er som vanlig preget av utfordringer. På jobben skal de flytte inn i åpent kontorlandskap med clean desk-policy og nye, nevroseskapende samarbeidsformer, stikk i strid med Ingrids drømmer om professortittel og sabbatsår. Hjemme har Ingrid stigende bekymringer over datteren Alva, som løper feil vei på fotballbanen, ikke tør å ta på papir og lar seg herse med av klassens dronning Sara. Samtidig nærmer det seg jul, og uten å orientere mannen Bjørnar har Ingrid klart å invitere både foreldre, svigerforeldre, søstre med barn, moster Kari og minst et par ekstra til en julefeiring som nærmer seg med stormskritt. Legg til den hypervellykkete nabodama med sin bloggsuksess på Ingrids bekostning, et par bekymringsvekkende kuler i nakken, en julekalender som aldri blir ferdig, foreldre som aldri er fornøyde + litt generell dødsangst, og du får Ingrid Winter i et nøtteskall.

Winterkrigen

Det hender fra tid til annen at et bokverk så å si går inn som en del av selvbildet til et helt folk. ”Alvdalstrilogien” – Simen, Bror min og Bonden – er et slikt verk. Aukrusts fortellinger har sneket seg inn i det norske folks hjerter, for dette er barndomsskildringer som krysser alle aldersgrenser, og som ikke kjenner geografiske hindre eller sosiale skillelinjer. Det har blitt sagt at Kjell Aukrust hadde den sjeldne evnen til å se det store i det velse, det evige i det hverdagslige, og det ubegripelige i det alminnelige. Historiene fra det som utgjør Alvdalstriologien, er et bevis på nettopp dette.

Alvdalstrilogien

Britt-Marie (63) er ikke passiv aggressiv. Det er bare det at skitt og riper og bestikk som ikke ligger på riktig sted i skuffen får henne til å skrike inni seg. Hun har akkurat forlatt ektemannen gjennom 40 år og gått ut av rollen som husmor og inn i rollen som arbeidssøkende. Den eneste jobben hun kan få befinner seg i Borg, et sted som er hardt rammet av finanskrisen, og der alt utenom den ølstinkende pizzasjappa er nedlagt. Britt-Marie hater fotball, men Borg har ikke annet enn fotballen igjen. Dette er absolutt ikke noen god start på et nytt liv. Men når stedets ungdomsklubb så desperat trenger en ny trener at de til slutt er klar for å gi jobben til hvem som helst, da bryr de seg ikke om detaljer som at Britt-Marie absolutt ikke vil ha jobben. Når hun i tillegg blir invitert på date av en politimann og brekker hånden i et solarium, da fins det ingen vei tilbake.

Britt-Marie var her

En humoristisk og varm historie som samtidig sier noe viktig om oss selv og vår tid. Ove er 59 år. Han kjører Saab. Til tross for at han ble sparket som styreleder i borettslaget for flere år siden (i det som Ove selv bare omtaler som «statskuppet»), klarer han ikke å la være å blande seg inn. Han sjekker at alt er på stell, og at ingen bryter reglene. Men når det nyinnflyttede paret i nabohuset er så uheldige å ødelegge Oves postkasse, blir det opptakten til en humoristisk og hjertevarm historie om rufsete katter, uventet vennskap – og kunsten å rygge med tilhenger. Det som skjer, kommer til å forandre en mann og et borettslag for alltid.

The Accidental Housemate

After a decade apart, childhood sweethearts reconnect by chance but how many words will it take for them to figure out where it all went wrong? From the New York Times bestselling authors of the “delightful” (Shelf Awareness) The Unhoneymooners. The story of the heart can never be unwritten. Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away. But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos—the first and only love of her life—the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world—growing from her gangly bookish friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother...only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her. Told in alternating timelines between Then and Now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much more—spending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco devouring books, sharing favorite words, and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy’s decade-long silence, and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.

Knalldebut for svensk debutant. Over 650 000 solgte i Sverige. Tildelt Den svenske bokhandlerprisen i 2009. Etter et langt og begivenhetsrikt liv havner Allan Karlsson på gamlehjem. En dag skal han feire sin hundreårsdag med pomp og prakt. Et spetakkel Allan er så absolutt ubegeistret for at han heller klatrer ut vinduet. I farten får han med seg en veske som han skulle passe et øyeblikk, og straks har han både tyver og politi etter seg. Hundreåringen som klatret ut gjennom vinduet og forsvant handler om en månedslang jakt gjennom Sverige på Allan og hans nye venner. Men boken er også en feelgood-reise gjennom det forferdelige 1900-tallet. Hvordan skjedde det at Allan spiser middag med den blivende president Truman? Og seiler flodbåt med formann Maos unge hustru? Til tross for at den uendelig sorgløse Allan er komplett uinteressert i politikk, kan det synes som om han har påvirket de fleste av forrige århundres store begivenheter.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Aster comes her adult debut novel Summer in the City—a swoony, fast-paced rom-com set in New York City in which a screenwriter and a sexy tech CEO go from lovers to enemies and back to lovers again… Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter Elle has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She’s had writer’s block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer. In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford (floor-to-ceiling windows, skyline views, and a new coffee shop to haunt included). It’s the perfect place to write her screenplay…until she realizes her new neighbor is tech “Billionaire Bachelor” Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It’s been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since. When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay... if she can stand being around her polar opposite. She writes anonymously, and he’s on the cover of every business magazine. He frequents fancy red carpeted events, and she doesn’t like leaving her emotional support five block radius. One summer. One wall apart. He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company’s precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations. Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules, and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper glimmering, pizza crusted, sunlit charms of the city. Summers always end, and so will this agreement. It’s all pretend. Promise. Until it isn’t.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

'American storytelling at its era-spanning best . . . An immersive, multi-layered portrait of a marriage, Nathan Hill’s follow-up to The Nix is a work of quiet genius.' – The Observer 'The incredible scope of this dazzlingly detailed state-of-the-nation satire almost defies description . . . Brilliant doesn’t begin to describe it, but I’ll say it anyway.' – Daily Mail 'I doubt I'll enjoy many books this year as much as Wellness.' – The Times An Oprah's Book Club Pick. A powerfully affecting novel about how we change, grow and age, Wellness is a story of marriage, middle age, our tech-obsessed health culture, and the bonds that keep people together. When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the 90s, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and the no-longer-youthful dreamers are forced to face their demons, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In the process, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other. Moving from the gritty 90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home renovation hysteria, Wellness mines the absurdities of modern technology and modern love to reveal profound, startling truths about intimacy and connection. In this follow-up to Nathan Hill’s electric debut The Nix, Wellness reimagines the love story with healthy doses of insight, irony and heart.

Not Another Love Song

2020 Audie Winner – Best Female Narrator A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! Audiobook performed by Marin Ireland. “I can’t believe how good this book is.... It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect.... Wilson writes with such a light touch.... The brilliance of the novel [is] that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times Book Review Kevin Wilson’s best book yet—a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with remarkable and disturbing abilities. Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth. Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love.
