On the Calculation of Volume, I and II, by Solvej Balle
I finished Volume II late last night at a gallop. I did not want to read it: it's been moving forward balefully towards the top of my TBR queue for some months, and I've been avoiding it. 'Here I am. I am Literary. Knausgard has said that I am "absolutely, absolutely incredible" (note the significant double adjective). There are three more volumes of me to read when the translators and author have perfected them, and I am a massive European Work of Art.' It's very off-putting. These two […]https://katemacdonald.net/2026/04/17/on-the-calculation-of-volume-i-and-ii-by-solvej-balle/

Book 13: “On the Calculation of Volume (Book 1)” by #SolvejBalle.
A woman keeps waking up to Nov. 18th. Non-sci-fi with a sci-fi premise! Tara tests the boundaries of her circumscribed life, driven by curiosity, philosophy, and despair. Short, but it drags sometimes as you’re trapped in the monotony with her. Even though I’d like to learn what becomes of her, I don’t think I can read the full septology. Hubby said the 2nd didn’t add anything.

Det fyrste eg gjorde når eg ankom København var å gå til nærmaste opne bokhandlar og kjøpe #SolvejBalle si nyaste. «Om udregning af rumfang VI». Halvanna år har eg venta på denne! Eg las den førre påska i fjor.
No må eg berre lese dei siste ~50 sidane i noverande bok så eg kan fokusere på det viktigaste.

"On the Calculation of Volume" by Solvej Balle
Fantastic book. I read it in one day. I don't think I've done that before.
It's a Danish book about a woman stuck in a time loop, like Groundhog Day, but with some notable differences. Like, if she buys things, she might still have them the next time she wakes up.
It's a seven-book series. Two have been translated to English so far. I'll have to learn Danish so I can read the rest 😅

A new favourite author/book: Danish writer Solvej Balle and her On The Calculation of Volume, a literary fiction novel in 7 parts about a woman stuck in the same day, the 18th of November. I just finished the 2nd part and now have to wait for the next two to be released in English...on November 18. :ablobdundundun: Highly recommend, especially if you're currently having an existential crisis, lol.

Det blei 186 bøker i 2024, opp frå 1 i 2023!
Eg las mest av #JonFosse, #AliceOseman, og #SolvejBalle. Det er nok mine tri favorittar frå året òg.
Favorittboka var nok #Septologien, med «Om udregning af rumfang» (1-5) på ein sterk andreplass.
I underkant av 60% av det eg las var på norsk.
Eg las faktisk kvar einaste dag i 2024, om det så berre var 1 side.
Eg gler meg til eit nytt år med lesing! Eg håpar 2025 blir 4. året på rad eg gjev ut bok.

Eg starta året med ein litteraturcrush på #JonFosse. No har eg ein på #SolvejBalle.
Det er veldig stilig å gå frå drøyge Jon Fosse-bøkar og halvdårlege #DoctorWho-bøkar over til noko heilt anna som berre er skikkeleg bra.
Eg kjem nok til å fullføre bøkane som er ute før påsken er omme. Gruar meg til å vente på neste. Spesielt sida eg ikkje klarar å finne ut når neste i "Om udregning af rumfang"-serien kjem ut.
