Hahah, that's awesome! I can bullshit, but I occasionally lack the basic common sense that makes it believable.

It's a Finnish literature, language & identity course so we're reading books by important Finnish writers from different decades. My book is Missä kuljimme kerran (Where we once walked) by Kjell Westö, which was published only 4 years ago, but focuses on Helsinki and it's people in the first half of the last century. He has solid and interesting characters and I like his descriptions, but he has this... rambly style of writing that results in terribly long sentences, and sometimes it really requires concentration to keep up with what he's saying.
