Weblog | I don't like the word blog, it's ugly. Anyway, new content happens here. (Swedish dito)

About me and the site | Twenty-something male who likes text. Obsessed with things such as books, reality, communication, and one or two tv-shows.

Archives | Things written here since... well, 2001. Some of it is good, some is utter shait.

Books | Books read, not books written. So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.

Photo | I like my camera and it likes me.

Links | Outwards, away, flee.

e-mail | J. Nicklas Andersson

According to the the latest lists Neal Stephenson’s quasi-followup to the earlier Cryptonomicon, that thick-as-hell tome, is due in march. Yes, this is the book entitled Quicksilver that Amazon had given a July 2000 release. They too have caved in and changed the unofficial date, which makes me a bit sceptical about the whole thing. It won’t be released then, will it? Amazon, by difinition, can’t be right about the shipping date.

The thing is I want to read it as fast as possible, this time I can’t hold back. I have to buy it in hardcover, as soon as I can and not wait two months like last time.
