By Jon Magne | Published: June 29, 2007
Hey, look at that! The last post on this blog was about the arrival of the desperately awaited new installment in the The Gentleman Bastard Sequence, and now I’m done reading it. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of you. The Lies of Locke Lamora is already one the best books I’ve [...]

Stranger than Fiction

By Jon Magne | Published: June 25, 2007
Harold Crick is your run of the mill type of guy. He’s a bachelor, he works at the IRS and life as he knows it is made purely out of numbers. To sum up: he’s so very normal and boring that it’s hard to believe. There’s just not anything special about him – except the [...]

Hurins Barn av J.R.R. Tolkien

By Jon Magne | Published: June 23, 2007
A quick summary of what I thought about the book for my English audience (you don’t write, you don’t call, but I know you’re out there): The Children of Hurin by JRR Tolkien is everything I expected it to be. The tale is haunting and full of good characters, but I’d say that it’s only [...]

Thank You, Mr. Whedon!

If this is true, and it most likely is, I’m going to have a very, very, very, very bad day tomorrow. I’m not pissed off or anything. It’s been rumored for a long time now. But I can’t help feeling depressed. Fucking depressed, that is

By Jon Magne | Published: June 21, 2007
The summer kicked in only yesterday and I’m already finished with my first book. Heart-shaped Box is written by Joe Hill, the son of Stephen King, who should be a household name for any reader out there. Like his father, Joe has a knack for writing creepy stories with good characterization. This book is just [...]

One Down, Two to Go

By Jon Magne | Published: June 20, 2007
Attending High School is comparable to a game of bowling. Not in the sense that we get to play around with shiny balls and human shaped pins all the time, but in the sense that you get the feeling that once you first start rolling you can’t really stop. You have to keep going and [...]
