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 have relationships with the books, the stories, the poems and the process. I have a strong empathy and experience what the author wants to convey. I borrow… Continue reading Böcker och livet Books and life
Do you remember the post of a wonderful gift that I received from a friend? A whole bunch of old books written by Selma Lagerlöf, first female that got the litterateur Nobel Prize.

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. Fantastiskt att få se hägrarna på så nära håll mitt inne i stan. Apropå fåglar. Ett boktips så här i juletider. En underbar liten historia.… Continue reading December 6 2017 herons in the air

The other day a friend gave me old books no longer in use. They're from the beginning of 1900 century and written by the first woman Nobel Prize winner in literature Selma Lagerlöf.

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
This is a little book that lighten up my day everyday. My family got it as a present and this present last everyday as long as we live. Everyday it's new wise or funny words worth thinking of.

Thomas Erikson har skrivit en utmärkt faktabok Omgiven av psykopater, som tydligt förklarar fenomenet psykopater och personer med psykopatiska drag. Har du den hårda vägen lärt dig vad den persontypen kan göra mot dig och andra kommer du nicka igenkännande genom hela boken och faktiskt finna bekräftelse för att det inte är du som är… Continue reading Omgiven av psykopater – Surrounded by psychopaths

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

Thatscribblers comment on Sweden according to Leslie: "First image I get after hearing Sweden is that of Ibrahimovic in golden football jersey! :)" Made me draw this as an interpretation of the comment.
