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 So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.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

Finally, after years of long wait — or well, a month and a half and then some to be more precise — I have in my hands — grubby and greedy hands — the Paths of the Dead and the Lord of Castle Black by Steven Brust. I haven’t really started to read the Paths of the Dead yet, but so far it is a rollickingly good read. The publisher page went by like there was no tomorrow and although I had a bit of difficulties with the dedication, it had already gained momentum at the acknowledgments.

And for some reason I’m far better at writing about books I have yet to read than books I’ve read. Weird.

Update: Neil Gaiman‘s afterword in The Lord of Castle Black was fun. Not as much fun and brilliant as Teresa Nielsen Hayden‘s in The Path of The Dead, but fun nonetheless.
