In Cod We Trust: Living the Norwegian Dream by Eric Dregni
5.0
I flat-out adored this book, but it's probably because I'm really, really biased. Like me, Eric Dregni is a Norwegian-American who grew up in the Twin Cities. While getting his MFA in Creative Writing at the U, Dregni wins a Fulbright Scholarship that allows him and his wife to live in Trondheim, Norway for a year. He then writes about his experiences and publishes this book, which is a funny and fascinating memoir about exploring the culture of your ancestors. I honestly think that anyone would enjoy this, as it is extremely well written, but it's really a must-read if you have Norwegian blood running through your veins. There is an entire chapter devoted to lutefisk that is not to be missed.
