  6. Amy I wish I could commit to the Scandinavian challenge but I have trouble managing my study commitments let alone trust myself to read any specific books. I will be following with a great deal of interest though, as I have been looking to read more Scandinavian authors, so I will be keeping a list of recommended authors and titles. I have really enjoyed reading Mankell in the past and I still have The girl with the Dragon Tattoo on the shelf, really must read that one soon.

  8. This isn't about books, except to say that I think Tom and Cookie had too long a day at the library; they're exhausted from lugging home all of the books they committed to read for the Scandinavian Challenge.
