Ogrim,
Thanks! I'll try to keep in mind these guidelines, though I'm sure I'll end up mixing it up again!
Expugnator,
Where did you find these books? I can't find any here in my city (SP)... perhaps I should buy them on the web?
Any TV series you'd recommend? I always feel like "true" material if better to study.. maybe I'll try to find "Simpsons" in Norwegian lol
Sooo a late update:
These last days were a bit busy for I had to deliver part of my thesis.. but I tried not to stay too long without studying a bit.
Now I'm currently on chapter 11 of my book, I'll finish it in the next 2-3 days, for sure.
Everything went ok so far, just a doubt on a grammar topic:
Everytime I want to express possession, if the possessed item is from the refered person I should always use sin (si/sitt/sine) and not hans/hennes?
*EDIT* grammar mistake :P

Yes, you use "sin" if the possessed item refers back to a third person who is the subject of the sentence. To give you some examples:
Han elsker sin kone (He loves his wife).
Hun har sin egen leilighet (She has her own appartment).
If it refers to a person who is the object of a sentence however, you must use hans/hennes:
Jeg så Petter og kona hans på teateret i går (I saw Peter and his wife at the theatre yesterday).
Jeg dro på ferie med Anne og broren hennes (I went on holiday with Anne and her brother).

victoraero: I buy Norwegian fiction from either ark.no or digitalbok.no . It's pricey,
but I stay a few weeks with a novel because I'm comitted to reading only 10 pages a day.

Ogrim,
Thanks, it seems like it's the first grammatical rule I really got it right lol
Expugnator
I'll take a look at these, thanks!
Så, jeg har lest en artikkel om ebola-viruset. Rundt seksti mennesker har dødd av ebola i Afrika, meste i Guinea, men det finnes noen døde i Liberia også. Jeg tror at etterforskning er viktig fordi ebola er en dødelig virus (nesten nitti prosent av mennesker at får syk dør av det) og i dag vi er mere koblet enn i fortiden. Nå det er enklere å reiser, så vi kan spre sykdommene rundt i verden.

Nice work, just a few mistakes I have corrected, you can see them in bold:
Så, jeg har lest en artikkel om ebola-viruset. Rundt seksti mennesker har dødd av ebola i Afrika, de fleste i Guinea, men det er noen døde i Liberia også.
Jeg tror at forskning er viktig fordi ebola er et dødelig virus (nesten nitti prosent av alle som blir syke dør av det) og i dag er vi nærmere hverandre enn i fortiden. Nå er det enklere å reise, så vi kan spre sykdommene rundt i verden.
A couple of comments: "mest" is the superlative of "mye" - a lot, and cannot be used in plural, you need to say "fleste".
Virus is neutral gender.
"Etterforskning" means "police investigation" or similar, I think you mean "forskning" like in scientific research.
Your use of "koblet" is a bit strange. I've assumed that you mean that people are closer together than before.
When you introduce a clause with "nå" you put the verb before the subject.

Ogrim,
Thanks for your help :)
Some of these words were found on google translate.. Unfortunately I still don't have a good dictionary.
Also, word order is still a bit difficult, but I guess it's just a matter of practice.
Well, this week was busier than I planned. Got problems with my thesis, but now I got some time to study.
So, just a bit of reviewing, no big problems.. Grammar topics were about tror/synes differences, som usage and adjectives. All good so far!
