■ 🕑 5. The Long Ships by Frans G. Bengtsson
   awesome historical fiction, really gets you into the mindset of 10th century
   europe, main characters are a group of vikings raping and pillaging all over
   the damned place, getting captured by muslim slavers and having to row, etcetc.
   these people saw it as normal and you think "yeah if I lived back then all this
   would be normal to me too!"  about halfway through, the damned christians come
   on the scene and slowly convert everyone to more modern/familiar ways of 
   thinking (which seem alien to the main characters and to the reader as well 
   after getting into their mindset lol).  harald bluetooth is a major character 
   for a few chapters.  they steal a big bell from some jihadis.
   
   8/10 might read again in several years.
