And there was much rejoicing.

(Don't know what's with the mist effect around the title. To make it look more horror-y, I guess?)

Re: Olaf and Lennart

It's been some time since I read it, but I agree, Olof and Lennart are one of my favorite JAL couples. The scene where they finally tell each other Jag älskar dig made me tear up the first time I read it. (But then, I'm often very sentimental when it comes to that kind of scene.) Have you read the o...

Re: [SPOILERS AHEAD] About Let the Old Dreams Die, specifically the sequel to LTROI

Forgive me for using this thread as an opportunity to wax poetic and gush about this short story that's very close to my heart. :D :wub: I was expecting a lot more discussions and conversations between readers here on this topic. I would guess that, for most of the active posters here, the scenario ...

Re: Finished - Thoughts (Spoilers Ahead)

It's been fun reading your perspective on these. IATT became my second favorite of his novels after I first read it over a year ago, but since then my liking of it has dimmed somewhat. (My top four at the moment are LTROI, Harbour , The Kindness , and then IATT.) I think my initial gushing over it w...

Re: Theory about the infection

Well, my opinion is that while the universe of What Kept You So Long? includes the events of LtROI, the opposite is not true. It's a unidirectional relation. [...] On a more prosaic level, the narrative of LtROI required an incubation time of about a couple of days, while What Kept You So Long? nee...

Theory about the infection

I've seen some discussion here about how the infection in What Kept You So Long? seems to be different and less severe than the infection portrayed in LTROI: WKYSL's narrator Tompa went for a whole year after he was infected before he had to start drinking blood, he's able to go for much longer peri...

Timeline issues

Something that's slightly bothered me since the first time I read What Kept You So Long? : the narrator Tomas "Tompa" Larsson was infected by a prostitute in Barcelona a night in January and made his first kill "roughly a year" later in the first few days of 2009. In other words, he was infected in ...

Re: Finished: That was something... (meant in a good way)

Apparently this all gets tied up rather neatly in the upcoming third part (or so I heard) so I guess I have to wait for that later this year. For the most part, yes. There are a few minor mysteries from I Am Behind You that remain unsolved by the end of I Am the Tiger , but John has said (in Missly...

Vänligheten mini-review

John's latest 715-page mammoth Vänligheten has been out in Sweden for a couple weeks now. I finished it a while ago but have been waiting to post my thoughts on it, partially because this dedicated subforum hadn't been made yet and partially because I wanted to see if my feelings towards it would ch...
