I'm reading lots, especially Tennyson and Browning. I'd never read any Browning before yesterday, actually. I find the dramatic monologue a very odd form. What's with all the crazy monks and girlfriend-murdering artists? He had a very peculiar imagination...

Me now having a growing interest in Finnish History have began buying from Svensk Militärhistoriskt Bibliotek, På vakt i öster, a four part series which will be completed in January (it now being the book-of-the-month of this bookclub.) Check out www.smb.nu and you might get intrigued enough to join it. gw Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 10-22-2004 at 03:54 AM. |

finnish history is indeed interesting, especially when a big part of it has to do with sweden
we had to learn all those who ruled sweden, and at the same time finland, when we were a part of sweden.. >.< thanks for the link!
