The haunted book

Around 1990 I worked at an antiquarian bookshop. I didn't get much money out of it, but I bought a lot of books. Some books contained ghost stories, some were horror books, some were books about hauntings, but nothing could have prepared me for this book. It wasn't scary in itself, it wasn't about hauntings, ghosts or anything like that, but when you started to read it you felt that someone was reading over your shoulder. Not when you put this book away and tried another one, it was just this book. I don't remember what it was about, just that it wasn't scary in itself. And I sincerely hope I got rid of it, but I don't remember that either. All I know is that I maybe have a book you'll have comapny reading and I don't know which one!

Latest addistion to my very humble LBH-library

The very small LittleBigHorn-library is growing. Very slowly and unsteady, but growing. Latest addition is Troopers with Custer by E.A. Brininstool. As with the other books I will read it. Eventually, got some other books to read too.

More books!

I added two more books to my very small LittleBigHorn-library. They look very promising. Maybe I even make a new dio about it some day.

A bit of obsession

Hi there! I'm back again! Soon I hope to post pics on painting activity, but in the meantime something else, but a little connected. I remember listening to the radio the 25th of June 1976. I was pretty excited since this was the anniversary of the Little Big Horn fight. Don't know why I was so interested, but I had already been it for some time. And still is. :-/ Bought some books, got some articles. This is part of it.

I think I have more articles somewhere. Maybe I will do something with figures. I did a little dio some years back and maybe I'll make another. Have the figures I need so it's just inspiration and time. :-)

Bought a book

Bought a book. :-D Osprey's Warriors at the Little Bighorn 1876 by Richard Hook. It will probably help me get back to my Lakotas after I've finished the stuff I'm working on right now.

Currently reading 1

I am a terrible reader. I start a book, take a break, start another, take a break, start a third, take a break, back to the first or second, take a break start a fourth and so on. Right now I've got six books going on at the same time (and I only read at lunch or at the loo, and that's just as well. That would be too many books at the same time). So I thought I could write a little about them here. The first one is a collection of short stories so that is easy to read, The Second Pan Book of Horror Stories compiled by Herbert van Thal. Many of the stories have dated badly, but some are pretty good. Second is a crime novel by the Norwegian author Unni Lindell, Ormbäraren (Snakebearer). Pretty good, but probably not issued outside of Scandinavia. Third is Waterloo by Swedish author Michael Tamelander. Since most of the facts in it is available elsewhere it is only published in Swedish. The fourth book I'm reading is a compilation of letters, and memories written by common people during WWI. How they saw at the war and what happened. This is compiled by Swedish Historian Peter Englund (secretary in the Nobel Prize commitee). And I'm still reading George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. I've reached part 5, Dance With Dragons. Have to go slowly with that one so he can finish the next. Also read Bernad Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles. Latest published part there too, but that is easier to catch up on so that one I can finish whenever I like too. Since music is a huge interest I read some music magazines too. ClassicRock, UnCut and Mojo are pretty frequently read, but also started to read a Swedish music magazine called Nostalgia Rock'n'Roll. Ordered some books for the Summer so if don't finish any of these there will be more books currently reading.
