Vacation Reading List 2024, Part 2

I just returned from a quick trip to London and then Dalarna. It was a short one with a lot of activities (visiting friends, chores at a summer house) so I didn’t plan much reading beyond:

  • Latest issue of Historiskan
  • Latest issue of Karavan
  • The Bright Ages (ebook)
  • My daily reading of Doktor Glas (inspired by the phenomenon of Dracula Daily)

and then the emergency book in my purse (Truth: A Brief History of Total Bullshit)

Did I succeed in only reading what I planned to read? Of course not!

  • Latest issue of Historiskan
  • Latest issue of Situation STHLM
  • Latest issue of Karavan (still a few stories left)
  • The Bright Ages 
  • My daily reading of Doktor Glas 
  • Chokepoint Capitalism
  • En rackarunge

At some point I became so worried about finishing Truth too early and being left without an emergency book that I read literally anything else. I also came home with three (3) new books. Oops.

Other trip highlights include The British Library, a fantastic clarinet performance at The Foundling Museum, long walks along the canal in Hackney Wick, dinner at Dishoom, and a visit to Newspeak House. Oh, and disappearing into the woods to pick a copious amount of berries, feeding rabbits, hauling firewood, my first-ever games of Kubb, and taking a cave buddy to Falu Gruva.
