I am currently sitting in a very pleasant café inside Malmö city library, which offers free wifi, and have been in this lovely city for just under two weeks. ( Quel coincidence!) We found a Swedish translation of an old children's book I have fond memories of, and Shadow is amused at the quaint 1950s wording and illustrations it contains. Turns out it was made into a movie as well! A pity it is so difficult to hunt down a DVD.
I love this library. It has an extensive graphic novel and manga section, even the children's book section contains works in over a dozen different languages, and the cakes served in the café (for only 26 SEK a piece) taste superb. Also, it was one of the first Swedish libraries to include video games in its extensive catalogue. It's a shame I cannot get a library card without being a resident of either Sweden or nearby Copenhagen.
But yes, the train journey here was fairly uneventful-except that I discovered my recently-bought jacket provides even better insulation than I had anticipated. Also, apparently I look similar to some guy living in Fulda when I wear my blue π hoodie with the hood up.
A few days ago, I bought a paperback copy each of Asimov's Foundation and his Foundation and Empire from an Emmaus-owned second-hand shop. Fascinating stuff, which I had never read before.
I think I'll end it here, as we still have a trip to the local flea market ahead of us, and it's getting darker and thus chillier outside. See you around, LJers!
