#43, 48 It's many years since I read Smila's Sense of Snow, but I remember really enjoying the beginning and thinking the ending was very forced and inconsistent.

Finished Smilla's Sense of Snow. that was disappointing, quite a slog for a book with so much positive hype. Now I am going to tackle the third and last Volume of Shelby Foote's The Civil War: A Narrative. But it is ~1000 pages - so I probably won't have anything new to add to these threads ...

I heard of Smilla's Sense of Snow from a variety of sources, though none particularly compelling, but I picked it up at the library last week because I noticed it and recognized the title.

I might recommend Smilla's Sense of snow by Peter Høeg. It is a mystery set quite a bit in Greenland, but also in Copenhagen.

I read Smilla's Sense of Snow long ago. It came out roughly at the same time that Perfume by Patrick Suskind and both of them were excellent. I guess our taste for the Scandinavians (is Denmark part of Scandinavia?) is nothing new. I just finished Exit Music by Ian Rankin. It's the ...

I've read Smilla's Sense of Snow (both lists), Northanger Abbey (old list) and Pippi Longstocking (new list) this month. Pippi was a reread, but I loved the other two! Smilla really blew me away in terms of very different books than I usually read. I just love Jane Austen, so the other was a ...

I thought "this is something special" when I first read Smilla's sense of Snow in the early 90s. I guess there were others who thought the same. It was a phenomenon. There was so much talk about it. Everyone who reads read it, didn't they? I don't actually remember much about the book or its ...

#2, 4 I am completely in agreement about Smila's Sense of Snow. I too found the beginning mesmerizing with a wonderful sense of place and then I thought it completely fell apart. Until now, I thought I was the only person who felt that way since everyone else seems to love it.

... for the *. I saw you have The Book Thief on your TBR list. I would highly recommend it. I agree with you about Smilla. I often felt it know what kind of book it wanted to be. At times I liked the direction it went in, and others felt like I was watching a mediocre action flick (that ...

... now? In keeping up with my resolution to start reading more authors that don't write in English, for a change, I've started Smilla's Sense of Snow. So far, it's very intriguing.

I've just finished reading Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow (your first book) and agree totally with your thoughts on it. I loved the first part of the book, but once she boarded that ship for Greenland, it was completely different. I don't think that part of it worked as a thriller at all, and ...

Reading Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg allowed me to take in Copenhagen, Denmark and a bit of Greenland. Before reading this, I knew nothing about Greenland and this book was particularly informative about Inuit culture and the uneasy relationship with Denmark. I ...

Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg I have mixed feelings about this one. I really enjoyed the early part of the novel where Smilla investigates the boy's death, but once the story moves on board a ship headed for Greenland, I found it implausible and I didn't think it worked well as a ...

Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg Category: Crime and Detectives with a global theme - Denmark/Greenland This book is about a crime but it is also very mucha piece of literary fiction, as there is so much more to it than the solving of a crime. I picked it for this reason ...

I'm reading Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg which is a crime book of sorts, but very much in the literary fiction genre.

I'm ploughing my way through Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg. I've about another 150 left to read. I've not enjoyed it as much as I hoped I would so I'm looking forward to moving onto my next book.

Smilla's Sense of Snow is the one, for me, that best falls into this category. I thought parts of it were beautifully written and I was on the edge of my seat until - are you friggin' kidding me?! I don't want to give it away for those who might still be wanting to read this, I know it's on the ...

Hi and happy new year! Was interested to see that your reaction to Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow was pretty much identical to mine when I read it. Such a let down at the end!

Smila's Sense of Snow is another book that has occupied Continent TBR for a while now. When I finally get to read it, I may just skip the end 1/3, though. Sounds terrible.

Happy New Year and I'm honored to have made your list! IMHO, the movie Smilla's Sense of Snow was far better. I read the book long ago because I was captivated by the beautiful imagery of the title. It has a certain ring to it eh?

I'm in Denmark investigating the death of a little boy with Smilla's Sense of Snow.

I loved Smilla's Sense of Snow -- it's been a few years since I read it, but it was fascinating about both Scandinavia and Greenland.

I'm reading a book written by a man, but it's about a woman: Smilla's Sense of Snow. I only started it this afternoon but I'm totally hooked.

I couldn't do anything this morning until I finished Sacred Hunger. Wow, that was a great book. Now I'm reading Smilla's Sense of Snow, which I've heard a lot of great things about on LT. About 50 pages in and it's shaping up to be a really good read, too.

In the last few days I finished off Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow and Don't Move. I wasn't so impressed with Miss Smilla (c'mon, that final twist was just sheer stupidity), and while the first half of Don't Move was a bit of a slog (unpleasant protagonist), the second half was unputdownable. ...

... :) And I'm certainly not driving a big blue station wagon around Sydney, I don't know who that could be! I finished Miss Smilla the other night, and have to say that the twist at the ending almost made me throw the book across the room in disgust. Was terribly unimpressed, it made no ...

Well, I thought I may as well kick this one along a bit. :) Still going on Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow but the end is nigh. Really curious to see where this is going (jubby, from your previous comments: it's all one big twist to me, *nothing* is going anywhere I'd expect, so I'm very ...

Hello again, You should keep going with Miss Smilla's feeling for snow. I remember reading it years ago (I gasp to think, but it was over ten years ago!!), and finding that it took a sharp turn in a direction that I really didn't expect. The odd thing was, the week I finished reading it, I ...

... I hope you enjoy it, it got some great reviews, and I've been looking forward to it (for far too long!). Still going on Miss Smilla and Don't Move. Life just starts getting a bit frantic this time of year (I work in e-commerce, and Xmas is just around the corner so we're hectic at work; ...

Still going on Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow (which I'm finding a bit dense: the plot is intriguing, but there is so much unexplained stuff about Denmark/Greenland that sometimes I feel I'm struggling a bit). But also picked up Don't Move last night, as I owe that to a friend. Good so far, ...

... things about the war I never knew about too: the Germans strafing the refugees fleeing Paris was news to me...) Finding Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow rather... nordic, I guess. Lots of background about Denmark/Greenland taken for granted, and it's quite a perplexing mystery. On the plus ...

Smilla? That the movie where she leaves an ice breaker via rope ladder and steps onto an ice floe? (yeah, right!). At least in the book she didn't try such stunts!

Just starting Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow. A flatmate MANY years ago read this and loved it, so it's been one of those "must read" books for far too long!

#12 - and if anyone is interested in that book, the title is also sometimes translated as Smilla's Sense of Snow, which falls in a different place alphabetically than "Miss Smilla . . . "

A good book set in Denmark and Greenland, and about Greenland's independence from Denmark, is Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Høeg. It's also a good film, directed by Bille August and starring Julia Ormond and Gabriel Byrne.

I was walking past Value Village today and just had to pop in and see what they had. Found not one but two copies of Smilla's Sense of Snow, a book which I've had my eye out for since early last year.

Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Hoeg. Good book.

I'd suggest: Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk

Just finished Smilla's Sense of Snow, a dark literary mystery about a woman from Greenland transplanted as a child to Denmark who is almost completely alienated from society yet is strong, resolute, and uncompromisingly honest.

Is it Miss Smilla's feeling for snow? - I haven't got a copy here to check, and the Fahrenheit reference sounds wrong, but the "language that is no longer mine" fits in.

Smilla's Sense of snow by Peter Hoeg could count for either Denmark or Greenland. A good mystery.

I'd have to add my vote to those already cast for Georges Simenon, Henning Mankell and The Name of the Rose. I found Smilla rather difficult to get on with. There are a variety of others on Mount TBR - Sjowall and Wahloo, Natsuo Kirino and Boris Akunin, to name three.

I tried to think of a city that I remember reading about in a novel, with some degree of description, and I came up with: Smilla's sense of snow by Peter Hoeg. This is a mystery, and a lot of it is laid in Greenland. I've never been to Copenhagen, so I can't vouch for it.

I think I'm going to take a break from Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow and start on Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight. It arrived in the mail yesterday after a very long wait and it looks very enticing.

Rebeccanyc, Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow and Smilla's Sense of Snow are the same thing, athough I have no idea why they have different titles. Maybe different translations? Or just a different title depending on the country where it was marketed?
