One of my favourite authors, Bodil Malmsten, writes a lot about
The Shield in two of her books,
Hör bara hur ditt hjärta bultar i mig (loose translation:
Just listen to how your heart beats in me) and
Kom och hälsa på mig om tusen år (translation:
Come and visit me in a thousand years). The books are about the time she lived in France, the country, her life, her garden, her neighbours. They are both pleasant and heartbreaking. Anyway, I brought this up to show you I'm in excellent company as far as my love for
The Shield goes. It appeals to everyone, from the 20-year-olds to the 65-year-olds.
Finished reading Michael Collins'
The secret life of E. Robert Pendleton yesterday. I don't know what I think about it, it wasn't as good as I thought it was. Got pretty boring at the end. Anyhoo, reading
The green mile now.
