A man called Ove by Frederik Backman that was published in 2013, and translated in to English in 2015.

It's not a literary epos by any measure or standard, but it's a really good example of the famously crass and ironic Danish humor. It's also a really good storie that doesn't demand much of the reader, in case of som specialized knowledge or much reflection in a qualitative context.

It's a book you can read cover to cover in less than a day, and even if its a literary lightweighter, it will probably still make you wonder about how humans interact, and how even the smallest of gesture's, can impact other people's life immensely.

Oh dear me that should teach me not to comment on Reddit when I don't have my glasses on.

I'm so sorry(and rather embarrassed I'll admit).

I probably just made a connection between you talking about Frederik, and the "Længe leve kongen", and then my brain apparently went ding that's not the proper way to salute the king.

I just forgot that there's more that one king, that's saluted in a Scandinavian language.

But while I have your attention I'll just like to say, that I think HKH crownprincess Victoria is my favorite royal(not counting Frederik but that is a super bias opinion since I'm Danish).

She is freaking gorgeous, she has grace and such a grate smil. And whenever I've seen her on TV, she always seems to actually listening with interest to whateve the other person is telling her, she really seems to care about the Swedish people, and she has that I don't even know what to call it, but you know that confidence vibe or charisma that so very few actually master, Queen Mary has it, and Queen Sonja also have it btw she a fantastic lady and absolutely gem.

And as a Dane saying this is almost physically painful, but if I was forced to pick a royal family, to rule over Denmark instead of King Frederik and Queen Mary, I would gladly welcome Victoria above any other royal.
