I’m not a conspiracy buff, although I do like conspiracy themed movies and books, but yesterday I got into a conspiracy detecting mode while driving to Stockholm. On the motorway travelling south came the Super-Secret Goon Squad [SSGS]. I have no better name for them for I know not what they where. I had never […]
This book was a light read with enough suspense to keep you hooked to the end which thankfully wasn’t a typical hollywood ending. The entire book is like an action-adventure matinée. It isn’t a memorable book you will discuss at your book club but it’ll keep you satisfied while you read it.
The book is inspired […]
I dreaded reading this book, fearing that as a book written by a Nobel Prize Winner it would be extremly boring. It wasn’t! It was different from any book I would have picked myself since I mostly go for action and adventure in sci-fi and fantasy novels. It did however tell a compelling story.
This book […]
What can I say? It was great as always but somehow I started feeling my years, They are not that many but for the young students I must seem like an ancient wreck.
Friday started of early with too much red wine at Byggplatsen (The Building Site) where all floats for Saturdays parade are constructed. […]
It has already started, SOF 2007 that is, but I won’t be getting jiggy with it for another hour or two. So what is SOF and why am I writing about it? Well SOF stands for Student Orkester Festivalen (The Student Orchestra Festival) and it occurs every other year in Linköping. In the interim […]
Oops, this book wasn’t in the must-read-all-unread-books-project but was lent to me by my younger brother who told me that it was worth reading. And he was right! Neal Stephenson is the same guy who wrote Cryptonomicon in 1996 but this book actually predates that by four years.
The story is set in a near distant […]
Yet another book by Mary Renault about ancient Greece. This time we have left the mythological era and moved on to “modern” civilization. The main character in this book is an actor named Nikeratos. We get to follow him as he moves through the theatrical hierarchy becoming a prize winning tragic actor. But his acting […]
This book begins with Theseus return to Athens from Crete and tells the story of life from then on. It’s a sequel to The King must die which tells the story of his youth. Mary Renault has made an effort to join greek history with greek myth and has in my opinion done a very […]
Wow, what happened to time? I was going to write a short notice on my latest health check when I realized that it was nearly a fortnight since I recieved my judgement from the physiotherapist. Time flies!
Every year we get to do a health check at a local fitness center called Feelgood. Usually it’s just […]
It’s a good thing I sat on a crowed train when I started reading this book or I would have tossed it in the trash straight away. My first impression was that this was some pretentious bullshit where the author tries to impress us with his ability to construct long, colourful sentences without any meaning. […]
