I didn't know there was a remake! Watched original with English subtitles last October - amazing. Now I must read the book.I saw the American re-make of the movie and then I just HAD to get the book! You're really going to like it! I am a big Lindqvist fan now!
The swedish original is better than the remake, No contest really.I didn't know there was a remake! Watched original with English subtitles last October - amazing. Now I must read the book.
The Christopher Hitchens book was interesting.Certain Dark Things by MJ Pack
God is Not Great by Christopher Hitchens
Lest The Darkness Fall by L. Sprague de Camp. About an history interested guy who travel to Rome to visit a dig and there fall through a hole in time. He reappears in Rome in the year 535. The Goths are now masters over Italy. Rather amusing thoughtexperiment. It is considered a classic in the timetravel genre.

Sounds nifty. You ever read any of de Camp's pastiche Conan? He also turned some of R.E.Howard's non-Hyborian stories into Conan stories, but wrote a few of his own, as did Lin Carter and Bjorn Nyberg. Some people consider these works part of the Conan canon (Canon Conan?), and others will draw steel at the very mention of such blasphemy.
(Incidentally, I don't consider em canon Conan Canaan cannon coo coo, ah hem, but it's all quite readable stuff.)
'Swedish Originals' meant something different back in the 70s.

I thought his book NOS4A2 was very good staropeaceOk, I have to say I did not fancy heart shaped book.. no way.... sounded phoney...say sorry. I went to look for End Of Watch, yesterday but found Fireman, instead. Not a great book to read after Fort McMurray...... a bit too close to home.....but a goodly read for all that.
