It truly does. Today it rained a bit, so we took a break from painting our house and went downtown - just to hang out. We just strolled around looking at books, CD's and DVD's, and hung out in a coffee shop for a while. Also, we bought some totally rockin' strawberries and stuff at the market.
Before we rolled out, I'd been talking about how I was in the market for some new books to read this summer. I ended up buying 14 books, 12 of which were Penguin/Wordsworth classics on sale (ridiculously cheap - 21.70 NOK). Just to be all list-guy on you - here are the books.
- Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë
- Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë
- Rob Roy, by Sir Walter Scott
- Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
- Nostromo, by Joseph Conrad
- Ben Hur, by Lew Wallace
- Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, by Jules Verne
- Sons And Lovers, by D.H. Lawrence
- Tales Of Mystery And Imagination, by Edgar Allan Poe
- The Count Of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas
- The Picture Of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde
- Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift
- Berlinerpoplene, by Anne B. Ragde (Norwegian)
- Lords Of Chaos - The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground, by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Søderlind
Most of these books I've read before, but that's kinda irrelevant, isn't it. 'Cause no matter how many times you read, e.g. Treasure Island, it's still freakin' magic.

Berlinerpoplene? That's a gift, right?
Dang; I wanted it to be a surprise, but I guess you'll get something besides Ari Behn signature - you bet your ass SIGNATURE - gear in August.
Nah; it was on sale, and everybody's been talking about it for so long that I wanted to see what the fuzz was all about. Anne B. Ragde is a hot commodity and has been for some time - I'm curious as to whether what she writes works for me.
Hey, what's wrong with Kjell Halbing? Isn't his books good enough for you?

Still hoping for that matching Fender. Would look good on the wall next to the Ari Behn signature - you bet your ass SIGNATURE - cutlery.
Btw, just a friendly tip: If you're flying, pack all your the Ari Behn signature - you bet your ass SIGNATURE - gifts in a thin bag. No need for extra padding, just mark the bag with "Fragile" to ensure that special treatment from the airline ground crew...
So since we're driving, you suggest that we take the bumpy yet scenic route, eh?
And who is Kjell Halbing? Not some sci fi writer I trust?

Louis Masterson. The writer of Morgan Kane series and some other western books (among them, "sexy western", which are basically porn and guns.)
Louis Masterson, eh? Never was a Morgan Kane reader.
I was. But I was young and needed the money.
Anyway, you could always take the fast track to Morgan Kane:

If this isn't a movie that smells turkey, I don't know what is...

So you read Morgan Kane while selling them out of the trunk of your parents' Volvo?
