I have absolutely no idea how many times I've read the novel. But like you I've read so many sections out of order of the book. My copies are full of stick-on notes of all colors and for so many reasons. But if I count only front-to-end readings, then it is very few. But if I count the total amount read for any part, that is the opposite.
I do want to read it in Swedish, but finding it here would be like finding a rock from the moon. Many years ago
metoo sent me a package of candies - part of his vampire candy offer. I should have had him buy and include a copy of the book. My mistake! Oh, and I remember that I was so sick that summer. I could have read it while recovering. My kids made off with most of the candy. They still talk about that. metoo, you made quite an impression on my family. You are kindly remembered!
