THE KING'S QUICKSILVER DARLING
Long time no see as per usual, book blog. I've been reading a lot in Swedish lately, so please check that out: http://librisvedese.blogspot.se/.
What I've read lately:
Teju Cole - Open city (very good).
Hilary Mantel - Bring up the bodies (ILOVEYOUHILARYMANTEL).
"You can be merry with the king, you can share a joke with him. But as Thomas More used to say, it's like sporting with a tamed lion. You tousle its mane and pull its ears, but all the time you're thinking, those claws, those claws, those claws."
- Bring up the bodies, Hilary Mantel
