Stella Rut Friðriksdóttir

Stella Rut Friðriksdóttir is a fellow third-year student at Menntaskólinn við Hamrahlíð, where she has studied Laxness's 'Sjálfstætt fólk' among other works. Stella finds the novel beautiful yet feels it is too lengthy for school reading. She expresses concerns about the reading habits of young people today, noting that many prefer platforms like TikTok over literature, and advocates for a more engaging approach to encourage reading among students.
