I haven't read these novels, but I was reading a review, and this part intrigued me:

“I opened a new subdivision in my life,” Mr. Knausgaard writes. “‘Booze and fornication’ it was called, and it was right next to ‘insight and sincerity,’ separated only by a minor garden-fence-like change of personality.”

For those who have read the books (this, is in book 4), what does this mean? How was booze and fornication next to insight and sincerity and why were they separated by a change of personality (and what kind of change)?

You are joking ain't you Alf? Are you teetotal or one of Allah's boys? If not you are definitely having us on.

Why do you say that?

God you really are teetotal. See if you want to get to grips with that get a good whiskey and a slightly "bad" girl then come back
