Selma Lagerlöf by Carl Larsson

7. Pengar På Planetens Villkor – Åsa Brandberg
+++
This was the book that I had read on “real economy” and got to meet the writer of in Stockholm. It’s a very short little book with just the basics, but it’s good and I get hopeful when there is real theory [...]

This was quite a roman/christian themed reading week for some reason, and I’ve been completely wrapped up in reading and not wanting to do much else.
4. Kvarnen och Korset – Vibeke Olsson
++++
Such a nostalgic trip for me to re-read those books! I was in 6th grade when I first read them, that means it was [...]

If I would ever get very rich and afford to collect antique collectible books Bilderbüch für Kinder by Friedrich Justin Bertuch is totally on my wishlist. 12 volumes, 1185 pages, 6000 illustrations on fairytale creatures, medical imagery,skeletons, the collosus of Rhodes, native reference pictures, beautiful natural imagery… Some prints from it can apparantly be bought [...]

A point which I got away from last year (as I always do) was that one of the parts of the resolution I had was to read the books I already owned. I have a lot of books, 98% bought at second hand stores, and I keep buying more whenever I find books I [...]

I found this list at Alice’s blog, but when I was to copy the link to the Guardian I found it was broken. When looking for the list I found a slightly different one at the Guardians site, but I am still going to use this one.

50. Branden i Hjärtat – Mahasweta Devi
51. Glaskupan – Sylvia Plath
I didn’t like the Bell Jar much. Mahasweta Devi though, she was wonderful.
I have also read Det Sovande Folket by Sweden’s prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt this year. However, I do not count this as a book. There were sentences in there, but it would be [...]

I only  need to read three more books before the year is over! Then I will have completed a new year’s promise for the first time in my life I think! (Read one book/week this entire year) I SHALL PREVAIL!

Painting by Naomi Nowak
I’ve got the flu… Frej thinks it’s swineflu but I don’t know why it should be.  Anyway it’s not that bad, a bit of fever & a hurting body and throat. I was wondering if any of you had advice on movies I could watch today? I’m sick and bored and Frej [...]
