I’m reading InterWorld.

Filed under: Books,In English — Sigrinn @ 01:20

“This is a work of fiction. Still, given an infinite number of possible worlds, it must be true on one of them. And if a story set in an infinite number of possible universes is true in one of them, then it must be true in all of them. So maybe it’s not as fictional as we think.”

It’s like The Wizard of Oz meeting Alice in Wonderland and crashing into Pratchett meeting Diana Wynne Jones.

It’s Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves writing together. It’s InterWorld and an excerpt can be found here.

But it feels like something is missing. I’m not totally engulfed and carried away with the story, I’m not in love with it, like with so many other Gaiman-books…

Btw, it started of as a manuscript for an animated tv-show…

The classroom

    Clementine and dry air in my nostrils

    Bright white light and chilly draft around my knee

    The wind with the sound like birds in conversation

    Pencil on paper making love in my ear

Sigrinn and a sea of onions…

Filed under: Ego,In English,In Swedish/PĂ„ svenska,Recept — Sigrinn @ 22:03

… that was what I thought when I prepared my dinner for tonight.

But unfortunately I only wrote down the recipe in swedish, so you’ll have to do with that:

Vi kan kalla det Morotssoppgryta:

1 msk rapsolja
2 stora gula lökar
3 stora morötter
vitlök
1-2 msk honung
massor med ingefÀra
1 nypa salt
8 – 10 dl vatten
1 dl röda linser
2-3 nÀvar krossad bulgur
en liten skvÀtt vinÀger (valfritt)
lite italiensk salladskrydda

Hacka löken och frÀs den i olja pÄ lÄg vÀrme tillsammans med vitlök (hackad, pressad eller pulver).
Finhacka morötterna och blanda ned i lökfrÀset.
TillsÀtt honung, ingefÀra och salt.
HÀll över kokande vatten och tillsÀtt linserna, lÄt puttra under lock en stund (10-15 minuter).
Smaka av med eventuellt mer ingefÀra och vitlök. För att bredda smaken kan du Àven ha i lite italiensk salladskrydda (+ eventuellt lite vinÀger).
Ha i den krossade bulguren och lÄt puttra ytterliggare nÄgon minut, tills grynen svÀlt och soppgrytan tjocknat lite.

LÀgger ut en lista pÄ böcker jag lÀst, somliga tycker sÄnt Àr kul att lÀsa, men framförallt Àr det för att jag sjÀlv ska hÄlla koll, trÄkigt att upptÀcka att man har lÀst boken nÀr man vÀl slÀpat hem den frÄn bibblan eller börjat lÀsa nÄgra sidor.
Hade en lĂ„ng fin vĂ€lsorterad lista i min dator innan den kraschade…
