Scandinavian Literature

[close] Hi all, we are a book club for members of Sons of Norway. Please send your lodge name and number when requesting to join. We read in the areas of Norwegian history, biography, fiction (we love Nordic mysteries) and any other books about Norway or any of the Scandinavian countries.

[close] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.

[close] The reading group for all things Astrid Lindgren. One of the aims is to read as many translations as possible and discuss them. But mostly, this is a group to discuss our most beloved Lindgren books and share what this extraordinary and prolific writer means to us!

[close] Gimlé, or Gimli, is said to be fairer than the Sun. It is said to have descended from the Heavens following the 100 Year War - Ragnarok, a nuclear battle between the Jotun and the Aesir-Vanir that resulted in the near destruction of all twelve homelands, resulting in the death of the gods - and was constructed by the Blacksmith. Within the walled city, the human population is only 35%. The other 65% are made up of vaettir, beings born of magic who first came to Midgard during the Mythic Era. The prestige city guard, the Valkyries, attempt to mend the rift between the races due to the 100 Year War by making every human officer have a non-human partner. However even the high walls and deep waters can not block out prejudice, pride, and hate. The city's future looks awfully grim - with a war on the horizon.
