All my words for the road, which now have reached 800, are expressions of my spontaneous opinions and thoughts when they were put on paper.Some of them the reader will find obvious while others could have been shaped differently or not be included at all. But, in between there may be some one ...

After the author George Manus¿s releases of his three books, REFLECTIONS I - II and III, the last one in late 2017, he thought it might stop there.In the meantime, after publishing a series of five books he calls WORDS FOR THE ROAD short reflections and puns, he now comes with a new twist based on the same theme - STORIES & THOUGHTS I.They are essentially a continuation of his reflections from 1990 to the present. Some are self-perceived stori...

This "Words for the Road V", the fifth in the series, I have dedicated to the"Continuation" and given the subtitle: 141 short reflections and puns. With these 141, the total have now reached 600.As I see it, there is always a continuation. It does not have to be a continuation of the same, and in this case it is a continuation of the first four books with the same name.When the last of the four was released, most of the content of the fifth wa...

Boken er fortsettelsen av mine REFLEKSJONER I - II og III, men isteden for å gå videre til nummer IV, har den fått en ny tittel: "HISTORIER OG TANKER I". Den er utgitt i et mindre bokformat med halvert innhold, mens stilen er den samme.Jeg har dedikert den til tankene, ettersom intet kan skrives uten at det ligger tanker bak. Tittelen dekker derfor etter min mening innholdet. "Tanken er tollfri", heter det. Det er viktig å feste seg ved det. D...

My main hobby became inventions and creations, mainly related to Golf.I took it as my first challenge to construct the most compact collapsible Golf Trolley ever seen. As a consequence of working with the above mentioned challenge, thoughts about reinventing the wheel was quite logical, as many golfers prefer to use an electric trolley. As I am a keen golfer myself, I constantly had in mind how one could improve ones game by means of training ...

The Author George Manus has, in several of his books put in Proverbs written by himself.In advance of publishing this collection of 114 of them, he had no thoughts about them representing a mixture of Poetry, Folded hands, Aphorisms and Proverbs. In other words not only Proverbs.This book therefore, which presents them in both English and Norwegian, he named WORDS FOR THE ROAD, as his earlier ones have been published in both languages.

Boken "Tanker" er skrevet på kun 51 dager, hvor forfatteren målrettet har satt seg ved computeren hver morgen med kun en tanke i hodet, og få tanken nedskrevet, bearbeidet og renskrevet. Han når da også vidt omkring, og det skrives både om Kina, byggeaktivitet i Spania, en Ford Fiesta og om snøen i Norge. Man forstår derfor godt, at han efter 51 dager følte at det var nok, og stolt erklærte at det var det, drakk et glass rødvin og gikk en la...

Thoughts" was written in only 51 days, during which the author sat down at his computer every morning, with just one idea in mind, to get the thought written down, edited and corrected. He also reaches far and wide, writing about China, the building activities taking place in Spain, a Ford Fiesta and the snow in Norway. We thus understand very well that he after 51 days felt that enough was enough and proudly declared that that was that, had...

Boken handler om en kvinne, som i perioden fra 1981 til 1995 flytter bopel ikke mindre end 36 ganger.

Forfatteren beskriver hver enkel flytting fra hus, til hytte, til leilighet, tilbake til hytte, rot og virvar, og så til nytt fint hus i en uendelig rekke, så man blir helt utslitt. Er det en slags hobby sp...

The book is about a woman who, in the period 1981 to 1995, moves her residence not less than 36 times. Is it an obsession, asks George Manus in the book, and is even in doubt, even though he has been in close contact with the woman for all 14 years. The author describes each move from house to cottage, to apartment, back to cottage, mess and whirl, and then to a new house in an infinite range, so you get exhausted. Is it a kind of hobby aski...
