My most beloved books


Due to being in need of space and trying to FLY, I've prioritized my book collection, down to the bare basics. All of these books and authors(a few exceptions) have significant meaning to me and has been an important part of my life or given me something precious at different times of my life. My small table holds larger books with pictures with some school books. I have another shelf for schoolbooks.


Bottom, up
"Herfra hvor vi står"(Sådan ligger landet, Landet i bevægelse, Fjorten fotografer)
(From where we stand)
A Danish photo collection. This was a Christmas gift and it is completely amazingly beautiful.
Eco House Book
A really great book with lots of pictures an inspiration towards green architecture
Tro, håb og kærlighed(Faith, hope and love)
A Jakob Holdt photobook. We all know him. If you don't, check him out!
Ruby
An art inspiration book
Skæv og national("off" and national)
A book on early Danish planning culture and development.
Byer for mennesker(Cities for people)
Schoolbook we used for our last project. Theory on planning holistic cities.
Amerikanske billeder(American pictures)
Another Jakob Holdt

 100 steder at huske før de forsvinder(100 places to remember before they disappear)

  6. Ah! I would love to learn Danish, but I've been learning Swedish for the past year (family is Scandinavian) are the languages similar in any way?

    1. Very much similar. Most Danes and Swedes understand each other. Norwegian and Danish is more similar to eachother. If you are learning Swedish, Danish should definitely be easier.

  8. Wild honey smells of freedom
    The dust--of sunlight
    The mouth of a young girl, like a violet
    But gold--smells of nothing.
