The Book of Joby by Mark J. Ferrari
In a desperate attempt to read the most acclaimed new SFF books of the year, I decided to finally cave in and give “The Book of Joby” a chance. I had all but decided to not do that with this one, because I had sneaky feeling that it wasn’t my thing (whatever that is…). In [...]
“The Long Price: Shadow and Betrayal” by Daniel Abraham
This time around, I thought I’d start off with some thoughts regarding stories and why they’re told. The answer to that question is fairly simple and all-important for both the man telling the tale and his audience who take the time out of their day to listen. Stories exists because they’re worth hearing. They possess [...]
“Good Literature: A Quest for Meaning”
A merry Christmas Eve to one and all! All my sisters and my brother in law have come home for Christmas and everything is generally very nice around here at the moment. Later today we’re gonna devour the better part of a heavy-set pig and flush it down with extravagant gifts and alcohol. Yep, everything [...]
Prison Break, Season 1
To tell the truth, I’m not impressed.
Normally I tend to watch a little bit more obscure shows like “Battlestar Galactica”, “Dexter” or “Entourage”. These are all big shows in other countries, but in little Norway they don’t get the attention they deserve from the masses. Teenagers like myself most often favor such shows as “Lost”, [...]
“The Tooth Fairy” by Graham Joyce
School was officially over earlier today and since I’ve planned to read at least a couple of books during this holiday break, I decided to finish off Graham Joyce’s relatively short novel, “The Tooth Fairy”.
I had only read some fifty odd intriguing pages before I sat down with it. Time did what it usually does [...]
Going Capitalistic on Your Ass
I spotted this over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist. It’s a little thing that lets you know how much your blog is worth in terms of dollars based on links and what-nots. My blog is worth the net sum of $7,903.56.

How much is your blog worth?
That’s pretty neat, right? It ain’t much [...]

Book vs. Blogger: Who Wins?
I have been trying for a couple of years now to read at least one book by the biggest guns the industry. So far I’ve managed to line up and knock down authors such as Iain M. Banks, Gene Wolfe and Tim Powers, just to mention a few, and I have [...]
Arsenal-Chelsea 1-0
Huzzah!
This was a deserved win if I ever saw one, and unbelievably important as well. I think we probably deserved to win by more than one goal, cos Adebayor’s goal should never have been annulled in my opinion (which is heavily biased but ever so right in this case).
I didn’t think that we’d have much [...]
