A short history of myth by Karen Armstrong It's part of Canongate's "The Myth"-series (also including The Penelopiad)

I've only seen the miniseries, but that was great. It's not on TV in Sweden, but I'm thinking of buying the DVD. I suppose you recommend it?

I don't think it was because it was particularly difficult, but I HATED taking the theoryclasses for my driver's license! And math was never my favourite subject. Were you ever a "teacher's pet"?

Blowin' in the wind - Bob Dylan

It's really hard to say, because there are so many genres within the fantasygenre. Some of my favourites are: J.V. Jones Charles de Lint Neil Gaiman J.R.R Tolkien

Trumpets, horsehoofs beating, pink shadow to the rescue!!! How can you not looove this book? ;) I absolutely love, love, love and adore this book, I wish it had been twice as long! But I also know people who don't. I think it comes down to whether or not you like this style of prose. My...

First of all: I HATE ticks!! I was lying on the grass earlier, reading, (this is no wild fieldgrass, this is well-tended grass) and suddenly a tick comes crawling across the page, and it was so tiny I barely saw it. I hate them! They've ruined nature for me! I also hate when people, my...

Dinner for me is the one cooked meal I eat per day so it's either at lunch which for me would be 2 pm or at night, 7 pm. Do you burn easily in the sun?

...towards the heart of adventure followed by their devoted hamster-armadillo. They walk for hours through the dense bush, Big Boris hacking his way through the undergrowth with the enthisiasm of Genghis Khan hacking his way through his enemies. They stop to drink from a clear spring when they...

Well, mrkgnao spoke the truth - I loooved this book!! It was a funny, actionpacked, smart urban fantasy with a new twist on old concepts, but the best thing about it was the main character Cal Leandros. I'm not a person who especially chooses to read about 20 year old boys, but this particular...

Ski-pants. I wouldn't be caught with those anywhere!! Name a song that your embarrased that you like.

I use the small post-its, the ones that look like tiny, colourful band-aids. I like them because the don't fall out and they don't get in the way.

I hate that some (a lot) of people with baby carriages seem to think that they are alone in the world or that they always have right of way. They just take up an entire sidewalk or park their twin carriages in the centre of an isle at the store so no one can pass. It's like: "I give you my...

Yes, I have an Excel document where I list books I have read, I want to read, I want to buy etc. It's way to long to post here!:)

If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be? And why aren't you there? I would just like to sit on my parents porch soaking up the sun and warmth that is the first taste of summer here in Sweden. Instead I have to finish painting my living room, and my arms are already numb from...

Have you ever seen the rain - CCR

Well, this being Sweden and Sweden being proud of its socialist background I would say May 1st is the holiest of all holy holidays. Stores can be open on Good Friday or Christmas Day, but God forbid anything should be open on May 1st!!!:D

It's nice to have some sort of mental image of the people you're "talking" to. So: Anna Female 31

I've read the first one in the series, and I thought it was OK. I liked the setting - it was a traditional Dracula-East European setting including superstitious villagers. I wasn't 100% pleased with the characters, it seemed sometimes like the two authors had problems making up their minds where...
