30 Days of Books – Day 13

måndag, september 6th, 2010

Ok I’m getting back on track with the book survey! I just forgot about it after a few days and I didn’t think about it again until I saw that my lovely ex flatmate Julia had begun with the survey aswell, on her blog which you find here.

Day 13 – Favourite childhood book
I read so [...]

Day 12 – A book or series of books you’ve read more than five times
I haven’t re-read a book or series that many times since I was about 12 so… my reply will have to be the ever glorious Sagan om Isfolket by Margit Sandemo. I always re-read at least one of the books when [...]

Day 11 – A book that disappointed you
Yeah. I thought I’d love this book. A lot of people told me I would over the period of years since it first came out. And when I fnally read it like a month ago I thought both the main characters were so dull & lame / spoiled [...]

Day 10 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
I didn’t think I’d like Selma Lagerlöf a bit until I sat down and read Jerusalem just for the sake of being well-read. But it was fantastic & made me read (or at least stock up for later use) pretty much every [...]

30 Days of Books – Day 9

Day 09 – Best scene ever
Probably when the pig Blasius escapes from the barn in Torgny Lindgrens Ljuset (Light) or when Jaspar goes to Nordingrå to find an imaginary woman called Maria (in the same book) and instead comes back with a plague infested pregnant rabbit. And many other scenes from Torgny Lindgren’s books. Almost [...]

Day 08 – A book everyone should read at least once
Well, that means it would have to have some kind of relevance to “everyone”. Which means I’ve been thinking about this the whole day (!) without coming up wth anything. I think everyone should read at least one serious book about environmental issues [...]

Two of my prettiest books.

Tre Lystspel – Henrik Hertz

Day 07 – Least favorite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise
I have seriously no idea. Sorry!

The Circus party yesterday was pretty excellent even though we got there quite late since a tram had derailed & there was a lot of standing around waiting. Got there like two [...]

Oryx in bed by Mollie Little.

Day 06 – Favorite book of your favorite series OR your favorite book of all time
Ok, I’ll have to do the first one then, since I already answered the other question. Can a series be two books, then? Cause in that case I choose Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood. [...]

Day 05 – A book or series you hate
I generally stop reading books I start to read that seem ridiculous.
I absolutely hate/love Fredrik Reinfeldts book Det Sovande Folket however. You can download it here, it’s so worth reading, takes only an hour or so.
Quoting from Alliansfritt Sverige!
Kapitel 1, ”Sovhjärnorna”, börjar med att en 28-årig man [...]
