About meAmerican/Swede recently relocated from Göteborg, Sweden to Scotland. I read in waves - voraciously during vacations, slack off or mainly more work-related at other times.

About my libraryA mix of "classics", cyberpunk, slightly offbeat or dark humor, modern faves, some utter fluff and more - in a few different languages. Even after over a year here, my tags, cataloguing and such are all a bit uneven and sketchy. My catalog mainly includes books I own and have read, but lately also library books I've read since joining LT. Due to having moved a lot, read library books, or shared books around the family, etc. there is a lot missing.

Noticed you liked Clockwork Orange, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a group of violent kids (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Thanks,

I'm 60-40 male to female, but most of my "unknown" authors appear to be male so that would go up a bit.

Hi Lisa it's Jen in my library thing guise. I think my library here is out of date. Alex also has a page that is totally out of date under SmallBoy if you're interested in checking out the bi-lingual library of a Small Boy. I should update it just to see how many fireman-themed books he has. Ten? Fifteen?
