Very Long Time No Blogg

Shortly after my last posting I went to the United States to visit family. This did not stop my reading, but it made me very busy and thus I have not written anything for over a month. In that time I have read (not necessarily in the correct order):
"Until I find you" by John Irving - A very long book, that had its moments and was generally well constructed, but I probably won't be rereadin it.
"When the wind blows" and "Lake House" by James Patterson - I don't really know why I read two of these books - they were available at my mom's house and were good as time passers. These books are also presented as children's books, two much "fantasy" for adults I guess.
"Änglarösten" the third book in the series about Erlendur by Arnaldur Indridason from Iceland was as good as the other two. Quite a different "feeling" about these novels compared to your basic everyday American detective novel.
I picked up a book by Ed McBain in the cheap pile. "Fat Ollie's Book" was okay if you like Ed McBain. The novel that Ollie is writing is pretty funny sometimes, but also sad because I bet people write things like that!
A first novel by James Sheehan was okay, it was called "The Mayor of Lexington Avenue" - you can click here for a review!
One of my favorite authors - Robert Crais (do check out the Elvis Cole/Joe Pike series!) - has a stand-alone book that has just come out in paperback - "The two minute rule". Not as great as the Elvis books, but definitely a good read.
Tess Gerritsen continues her series from Boston with Maura Isles, Jane Rizzoli, and Gabriel Dean with the book Vanish. Childbirth in the middle of SWAT team action and conspiracy theories is always fun.
My wonderful library has recently bought "Break no bones" by Kathy Reichs. This one was better than "Cross Bones" - all in all I kind of like "Bones" on TV better.
I liked Kate Atkinson's "Case Histories" so I borrowed her first novel "Behind the Scenes at the Museum". I will certain read more by this author.
I'm sure I've missed something - but if that is the case the book didn't make much of an impression.
Another cultural activity for me recently was Midsummer Night's Dream - in Värmland - Stockholms Stadteaters uppsättning var jätte roligt!
