Summer Holiday 2006

At last we have started our holiday, it felt like we were never getting away. Now however we have made it as far south as Koge, south of Copenhagen, in Denmark. That is about 800km drive from Uppsala. The first night, wednesday, we stopped in Jönköping to stay with Malin, Håkan, Alma and Hilda. Then on thursday it was another long drive down to Helsingborg where took the ferry over to Denmark.

The weather has been really hot, about 30 degreess, which makes me wonder why we are driving all the way down to Italy when there is so much to see and do here. The Danish countryside is really nice. We are staying with Per and Eva who Ulrika know through work. They have a great wee house, with a guesthouse, so we haven't even slept in the van yet.

Tomorrow we head off for the ferry to Germany and then further south...

book review

Dan Simmons: Ilium (Gollancz S.F.)
A pretty good science fiction take on Homer's Iliad. Definitely worth a read. (****)
Edmund Cooper: Overman Culture (Coronet Books)
Good read, good ideas, read it if you can. (****)
John Meaney: Paradox
This was my first book by John Meaney and for most of the book I was pretty happy. It had a lot of interesting ideas about the structure of society and new types of technology. The biggest problem for me was that some of these could have used a lot more fleshing out. I had the feeling that somehow all these things would become clearer as the plot progressed but unfortunately that didnt happen. Still an enjoyable read by a new (to me) author. (***)
Iain M. Banks: Feersum Endjinn
I am a big fan of Iain M Banks and this was the first of his books that I read. Its a pretty unique story and the scale of the environment is a good new slant. When you start reading it takes a bit of time to get used to the parts that are written phonetically. But its worth sticking with it and after a while you almost dont notice :-) (*****)
Neal Stephenson: Cryptonomicon
This is a great book, especially if your even the smallest bit a geek. A good mix of face and fiction that is also humorous. Its not very often you get a blend of those that are as good as this. Big thumbs up. (*****)
