Slaget ved Lyngby og andre fremtidskrigsfortællinger
Mostly pretty dry stories, these, though a couple of them of them are parodies of the whole invasion literature genre. Mind you, one of the stories has a neat airship duel, and one has a passage that makes me wonder if I need to do something about my slash goggles. They seem to have an overactive imagination as of late*
Linda Buckley-Archer: The Time Quake
The third in a surprisingly good trilogy of time travel (with complications) between the present and mostly the 18th century. Admittedly, the final ending is kind of disappointing, but most of the books are quite good - besides, I love the Marquis de Montfaron discovering the wonders of the internet, and the scene where a bunch of 18th century soldiers go to see The Lord of the Rings is priceless :-)
Christine Cole Catley & Simon Nicholson: Xenophobe's Guide to the Kiwis
I thought I might as well try to learn a bit more about New Zealand, seeing as I seem to have fallen for a New Zealand show, and this book series tends to be quite good, actually - I mean, as far as I can judge. The one about Danes was funny and quite accurate, at least. Anyway...
Tamora Pierce: Mastiff
I am sad that apparently this is the end of the Beka Cooper stories :-( (at least, the way it ended made it seem like it is). Nevermind.
Total number of books and comics read this month: 22
Currently reading: The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker and 1Q84 vol. 1. by Haruki Murakami
*Kejser Wilhelm vender sig til sin hær.
"Vent lidt, soldater. Jeg skal lige op og ordne kongen af Danmark."
Så går kejser Wilhelm op til kong Frederik.
