I have been reading up on Lovecraft and Gaiman. Oki, can still be argued that they are fantasy but if they are, then Dumas is as well
I have been reading alot of books that are about Swedish history lately.
One is Jan Guilou. (This is where you should say who the f**k is that, and I just grin
) He writes a plausible story about the crusades from some fictive people mostly based on historical finds and from the time prior to Sverige's creation.
Pretty desent, but far from a favourite.
Also been readin some historic and history only books that have been really interesting. Also mostly based on Sweden
*Sorry*
Also a huge favourite of mine is Pär Lagerkvist, another Swedish author that writes alot of different books. Very dark and gloomy I might add, but OOOOO so good.
Also re-reading Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson , a cyberfiction that is both funny and interesting.
