News on the IC2011 trip

Posted on 2011/02/21 by Jonas

After arriving in Melbourne we will be headed to Yarrawonga, VIC. The plan is to stay there for about a week before going to Sydney. Yarrawonga is close to the place I used to live, so looking forward to seeing the area again, and of course visiting the people I know from back then.

Shadow of the Giant – Orson Scott Card

Posted on 2010/12/24 by Jonas

Shadow of the GiantIgen en god bog af Orson, selvom den ikke helt lever op til de tidligere. Der var ikke lige så meget spænding i denne bog, som i de tidligere. I stedet var det en masse løse ender, der lige skulle klares. Achilles er ikke længere en trussel, selvom hans arv er det. Peter arbejder videre som hegemon, og Bean skal sørge for at det ikke er en tom titel.

Drive-In Netto?

Netto is trying out a new concept: Drive-In Netto. They park a big Netto on the freeway, and while people are queuing, they might as well do some shopping. Brilliant!

Møgkællinger – Gretelise Holm

Posted on 2010/12/09 by Jonas

MøgkællingerSpændende krimi med Karin Sommer som hovedperson. Det er åbenbart den femte i Karin Sommer-serien, men det gjorde ikke noget, at man ikke anede det. Ligestilling for sig en overhaling ved siden af mord og en masse møgkællinger. Værd at læse eller lytte til. Tak til DR.

Den hundredårige der kravlede ud ad vinduet og forsvandt – Jonas Jonasson

Posted on 2010/12/02 by Jonas

Den hundredårige der kravlede ud ad vinduet og forsvandtVirkelig sjov bog. Den kan klart anbefales. Vores hovedperson Allan Karlsson skrider fra plejehjemmet på sin 100-års fødselsdag, og så udspiller der sig ellers en alletiders historie med masser af skøre påfund. Undervejs hører man om Allans begivenhedsrige liv med atombomber, Stalin, Mao og masser af andre statsoverhoveder.

Quicksilver: Book One of The Baroque Cycle – Neal Stephenson

Posted on 2010/11/21 by Jonas

Quicksilver IThis book took a long time to get through. It is interesting but maybe lacks a bit of action to carry the story. Main character Daniel Waterhouse goes through personal discoveries, politics, strife, war, religious unrest, and lots more in 17th century England. There are plenty more books (8) in The Baroque Cycle, but the second in the series will not be my next book.

Den skaldede detektiv – Anna Grue

Posted on 2010/11/13 by Jonas

God dansk krimi om Dan Sommerdahl, “Den skaldede detektiv” og et par børnemord. Det er åbenbart den fjerde bog i serien om den skaldede detektiv, men det gjorde ikke noget at komme ind i serien her. Tak til dr.dk for at gøre historien tilgængelig som netcast. Læs mere her.

Had a conference in Dun Laoghaire last week and stayed the weekend. Thanks to the Spillane family for housing me 🙂 I had a great weekend, saw some beautiful countryside, had a crack at hurling, and went to the semi-finals between the local teams – Excellent!
