    Funny stories about books

    LOL! That's a good one! I have loads of bookrelated stories, working in a bookstore and all, we actually have a book where we write down funny things that happen and stupid things people say. Yes, that's mean, but it's also very funny! The funniest part of that is that the book we write in was a...

    Bookstore name

    No, not yet. We're trying out different names on people we know to see what they think. Not all great names work on a Swedish market. Anything with "biblio" for example will just make people think of libraries, because the Swedish word for library is bibliotek. And some names may be too...

    First book you ever read?

    I have the memory of a pidgeon, and my childhood is kind of a blur for me (although a happy one :)), so I'm sure there were many great books, but the one I still remember is Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley. It was about a girl, Penelope, who went to live with her uncle and aunt in their 14th...

    Kate Mosse: Labyrinth

    Thanks for the update staceass! Your review confirms my suspicions: an ok read, but maybe not enough to put in the effort. Although, when you compared it to The Historian I was a bit more intrigued. You see, I agree with Valkyrie on that one! But still, I don't think I'll put Labyrinth on my...

    Easter Dinner

    I'm gonna meet up with parents and siblings and in-laws and go to tradtional easter dinner at som friends of the family. They serve traditional Swedish Easter food: Eggs of course, Janssons frestelse which is sort of like potatoes au gratin ( I don't know if that's a proper phrase, but that's...

    fiction and non-nonfiction

    Lol, you don't sound like an idiot! Believe me, it took me years before I found anything but Eddings and Tolkien (Swedish bookstores are not exactly full of fantasy). Think of all the great books you have to look forward to! As I said earlier, high fantasy is usually what you first think of...

    Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go

    I agree, the carers eventually became donors. I think it was either said out loud or strongly implicated that Kathy would soon become a donor herself. The meeting with Madame basically said that there were no exceptions.

    Bookstore name

    That is good advice, and as mrkgnao wrote above, we're making a solid businessplan with all that involves and we intend to talk to start-your-own-business experts in Gothenburg after that. It may turn out that our idea is not working, and we might have to revise our plans or drop them all...

    Kazuo Ishiguro: Never Let Me Go

    That's a really good question that I don't think anyone of us has thought to ask yet - you're thinking outside the box! :). As far as I can remember, that question was never answered in the book. Maybe they exported? :eek:

    Bookstore name

    Once again, you guys are amazing! And funny :D The only problem with this thread is that it makes me embarrased to realize how completely uncreative me and mrkgnao were! I don't think the name will be the problem in the future though. But there is so much to think about! Me and mrkgnao sat down...

    Reading Camp

    I suggest try reading shortstories. That way you don't have to commit to anything long and you won't have to keep concentrating for long periods of time. I like Charles de Lint's Dreams Underfoot, where most of the stories are 15-20 pages, and really good urban fantasy.
