Beartown A Novel (Beartown Series)

"

Three books would be Beartown by Frederick Backman it's the first in a trilogy about this hockey youth hockey club in a small town in Sweden and I'm looking forward to reading the next two.

"

The second book we ever read is I think maybe the most perfect book ever written.

It's called Beartown by Friedrich Bachmann.

who is maybe my favorite fiction author.

I've read Beartown, I think three times.

It's about a hockey club in Sweden where it's everything in this small town and goes into issues of parenting, immigration, homosexuality, sexual assault, on and on and on.

And in the way that only Friedrich Bachmann can, paints this amazing picture and helps you understand life in a really different way.

no book has come up more frequently in subsequent discussions, whether we're reading science fiction or poetry or about race relations.

A really boring nonfiction book about passion and perseverance.

Or an amazing book called Grit.

but it comes up more frequently than any other book.
