Halló, I am Iceland and this is my Tumblr. I am an island and I want to be your friend. I am also on the Twitter, the Face-book, the Vimeo. (You can also visit me one day, if you are not too busy and important.)

Christina Sunley’s The Tricking of Freya is the only book I’ve ever read that is set in Iceland. It’s quite good, though.

“The Tricking of Freya” by Christina Sunley was a good one.

I see I’m not the first to recommend “Heima,” a documentary/concert film by Sigur Ròs, but I’m afraid it’s all I can come up with. And it *is* brilliant. Powerful music.

Another vote for Skugga-Baldur, and also Independent People by Halldor Laxniss. As for movies, Dreamland is really eye-opening.

Another vote for Noi the Albino here!

Arnaldur Indridason writes Crime Thrillers based in Iceland(where he is from). Not sure how many have been translated into English…

Heima, documentary done by Sigur Rós. Beautiful cinematography, shows off the wonderful natural beauty of Iceland.

Sódóma Reykjavík (Remote Control in English) is really funny movie. But Angels of the Universe might be my favorite. I can also recommend books by Arnaldur Indriðason.

Halló, human who likes to read small letters. This Tumblr on your Inter-net is a part of Iceland Wants to Be Your Friend, which belongs to something very serious and important called Promote Iceland. Maybe you did not know this, but we can assure you that Iceland would also like to be your friend on Facebook, on Twitter, on Vimeo, and on Flickr. Or you could just read a blog about Iceland, learn every single word in Icelandic, get to know good Icelandic bands that are not Sigur Rós, or tell Iceland a really good story in an email. (And if you are a really töff person who thinks this is all much too krúttlegt and embarrassing you can even go and "hang" with Hipster Iceland.) Do you want to know things about Iceland? You just have to ask. You probably don't believe it, but all of this was created by actual people like you, using brains and fancy machines. They are called Takk Takk, and they are honestly so happy and impressed that you are still reading this, even though it is written in small gray letters, that they just want to tell you this.
Halló humans. I am also on your "Twitter".
