“I stopped for a few seconds by the newspaper stand wondering whether to buy the two evening papers here, the two biggest publications. Reading them was like emptying a bag of trash over your head. Now and then I did buy them, when it felt as though a bit more trash up there wouldn’t make any difference. But not today.”

–From Karl Ove Knausgaard’s “My Struggle, Book 2.“
