Long Distance Attempts of Education by Virtual Gurus
Yesterday was one of those slightly more hectic days for me. I woke up at a quarter to seven and got ready for school. Everything was kinda fuzzy since I didn’t exactly go to bed at a human hour. My Norwegian football team of choice, Rosenborg, got a nasty, albeit expected beating at home [...]

20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill
When I reviewed Joe Hill’s debut novel, “Heart-shaped Box”, earlier this year, I said that I would be following this author with a keen eye. I found his first effort to be a flawed, albeit in the end very entertaining read that was ripe with potential, and I could immiediately tell that this was a [...]
“The Wise Man’s Fear” Delayed!
Oh noes!
Pat just reported that Patrick Rothfuss’ “The Wise Man’s Fear”, the sequel to the heavily lauded “The Name of the Wind”, has been delayed until April 2009, due to massive rewrites of the initial manuscript. I was hoping I’d get this sometime next year, but sadly; no such luck. This probably means that [...]
The Stack as of the 25/11 – 07
Ah, the famous, insurmountable, ever-looming mountain of wordy goodness shines out to you from the picture above. These are all the books I’ll be reading in the near future, barring a few additions that are bound to be added, but I don’t think there’ll be all that many (for obvious reasons). The only two books [...]

Beowulf
I am Ripper… Tearer… Slasher… Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength… and Lust… and Power! I AM (SPARTA) BEOWULF!
This year has already brought us one film affiliated with one of my absolute favourite authors, Neil Gaiman, but you can never have too much of a [...]
Partial “The Return of the Crimson Guard” Synopsis
I got this from reading Calibandar’s post over at Westeros, who in turn got it from Amazon. It’s not a complete synopsis, cos if so then this book has the worst ending in history (only kidding, of course). Anyways – it’s nice with a little taster before we get the real thing, right?
The return of [...]

Now This Is What I Call a Cool Cover
If I didn’t already own the first edition hardcover and the limited, signed edition of this, I’d totally buy this paperback. I really hope Lynch gets to keep this artist on for the entire series, cos the two I’ve seen so far has been among the best paperback covers I’ve ever seen.
Ambulanse by Johan Harstad
This isn’t so much a review as it is a notification that I’ve really read this short story collection. It was kinda forced on me from Ole when he discovered that I could get it for free, and since I got him to purchase Scott Lynch’s “The Lies of Locke Lamora” (he’s officially number 38 [...]
