Okay, I said I was gonna keep track of all the books I read this year, so here's January:
Cosmopolis -Don DeLillo (200 pages)
The book eaters -Sunyi Dean (300 pages)
Anxious People - Fredrik Backman (325 pages)
Page numbers are approximate
I'm also about 200 pages into The way of kings by Brandon Sanderson
So that's about 1000 pages this month? I wonder what my average will end up being

so my favourite book is 'anxious people' by fredrik backman. it's about an accidental hostage situation, the police work surrounding it and the lives of each hostage (as well as the 2 main police officers, a father-son duo).
my favourite character is jack, the younger police officer. he has trauma related to being unable to save a man on a bridge when he was a teenager. he is very passionate, but a bit temperamental and grumpy. he takes the stairs during a hostage situation because he doesn't like lifts, and denies being scared of lifts (arguing that he is only scared of snakes and cancer).
he's a.... temperamental yet passionate police officer, with vague parental issues, who has trauma related to someone he couldn't save in water....
is he alec hardy do i have a type

They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows.
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

The truth? The truth about all this? The truth is that this was a story about many different things, but most of all about idiots. Because we're doing the best we can, we really are. We're trying to be grown-up and love each other and understand how the hell you're supposed to insert USB leads. We're looking for something to cling on to, something to fight for, something to look forward to. We're doing all we can to teach our children how to swim. We have all of this in common, yet most of us remain strangers, we never know what we do to each other, how your life is affected by mine. Perhaps we hurried past each other in a crowd today, and neither of us noticed, and the fibers of your coat brushed against mine for a single moment and then we were gone. I don't know who you are. But when you get home this evening, when this day is over and the night takes us, allow yourself a deep breath. Because we made it through this day as well. There'll be another one along tomorrow.
— Fredrik Backman, Anxious people

“Some people accept that they will never be free of their anxiety, they just learn to carry it. She tried to be one of them. She told herself that was why you should always be nice to other people, even idiots, because you never know how heavy their burden is.”

anxious people.
anxious people is the kind of book with such good characterization that sometimes you get hit with a paragraph that makes you laugh and hits you in the stomach at the same time
