Book Meme

My wife invited me to do this thing and I think Ólafur Guðsteinn is just the perfect person to do the next one.

1: Hardcover or paperback, and why?

I prefer hardcover simply because of durability and they look better on a shelf. It´s hard to resist the price and the mobility of the paperback though.

2: If I were to own a book shop, I would call it…

That´s a tough call since I´ve never had the slightest longing to own a book shop. Let´s just call it Books or More.

3: My favourite quote from a book (mention the title)

"Black as the chambers of a dead nuns heart" from Nick Cave´s And the Ass Saw the Angel. He reused the line in his song "Up Jumped the Devil" from Tender Prey.

4: The author (alive or deceased) I would love to have lunch with would be…

Kurt Vonnegut or Guðbergur Bergsson

5:If I was going to a deserted island and could bring only one book, except for the SAS survival guide, it would be…

The Bible

6: I would love someone to invent a bookish gadget that

Pass

7: The smell of an old book reminds me of…

Nothing, but I love it all the same.

8: If I could be the lead character in a book (mention the title) it would be…

Philip Marlowe

9: The most overestimated book of all times is…

Brave New World

10: I hate it when a book…

...that seems to be interesting fails to be so.

The show was a lot of fun, a raised stage, cool background screens, Brian Poole had his wings on. They only played songs from their last three albums and the one to come, which I guess was ok.

Opening bands were the exellent MGMT

And the funny Grand Buffet

Tomorrow I won´t have smoked for two weeks.

Two weeks ago I bought an ´88 BMW 325. I´ll post pictures a.s.a.p.

Saturday

This coming Saturday we have tickets to see of Montreal in NYC. Could be the concert of the year.
