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 So far I've struggled to maintain unpublished.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.

Unless you hound rec.arts.sf.written, chances are that you’ve never heard of Matt Ruff. He’s not exactly famous. Yet anyway. Well, let’s be painfully honest here: the fault is yours. Totally. This is the person who recommended Wilton Barnhardt — something I’m very grateful for, as he’s written one of my all-time favourite books. (If you must pry into my private life, the title of Barnhardt’s book is Gospel)

I bought his latest novel today: Set This House in Order⊗. Not in the American hardcover version though, but if I had seen it in the shop, I would have. Just for the cover. Just look at it. Doesn’t it... pop? And his site contains lots of fun thing. Such as deleted scenes to the book and a soundtrack-listing that he listened to when he wrote it. And the worst part is that it came out way back in March, although I guess the trade paperback is rather new.

Oh, and he watched Buffy.
