Kjell Espmark har skrivit om ett intressant besök i landet Thule, detta märkliga fiktiva land i norr, som har slående likheter med ett Sverige i nutid. Satirformen gör sig mycket bra för att berätta om det vetenskapliga besök historiens huvudperson gör i landet. Nyttig läsning om vi vill få perspektiv på vår egen tillvaro och… Continue reading Resan till Thule – The Trip To thule

I borrow… Continue reading Böcker och livet Books and life

This tine of year we can watch herons fly by over the city roofs. It's amazing watching those birds. Så här års flyger gråhägrar i flertal över hustaken i stan.

Jag har läst en rolig och tänkvärd bok med härligt humoristiska och skickliga teckningar. Om du inte har vägarna förbi Gnesta eller Trosa bokhandel kan du hitta Olle Qvennerstedts bok Gnällspiken även här till exempel. I've read a great book with humour and thoughtful excellent drawings. It's in Swedish, but at the writer and illustrators… Continue reading Gnällspiken och hans behårade fästing – The grumpy one and his furry tick

I read a book about pure braveness among ordinary people. The story could be about any time and any place. This particular book takes place during the Second World War. It's a story about dark sides of our history but also a fairy tale love story in some way. Sure, the book is about people… Continue reading Vargarnas tid Wolves time
Jim talking about quiet time as a good thing and I totally agree. I have a favorite movie (well actually I have more favourite movies, but this is one of them) that really captures the good feeling of quiet time. If you're a extrovert person not liking quiet time you will think this movie stinks… Continue reading The station agent
