A Man Called Ove

by Fredrik Backman

People didn’t know how to do that any more, brew some proper coffee. In the same way as nowadays nobody could write with a pen. Because now it was all computers and espresso machines.

Ove is the sort of man who checks the status of all things by giving them a good kick.

those with ‘honest intentions’ had nothing to fear from ‘the truth’.

‘If there’s one thing you could write in Ove’s obituary, it’s “At least he was economical with petrol.”’

LMAO

Of course, he could have taken one of the free slots, the one closest to the entrance, and then have the kindness of letting the Mercedes take the other. But what sort of victory would that have been?

Why do i see myself in him lol

the three worst words Ove knows in this life are ‘Batteries not included’.

omg yess why the hell would they sell sth runs by batteries without including them in the product itself ><

Now Ove is standing in front of his wife with two plants. Because it was a question of principle.

=))))

‘Nothing works when you’re not at home.’

It’s been six months since she died. But Ove still inspects the whole house twice a day to feel the radiators and check that she hasn’t sneakily turned up the heating.
