I found Astrid Lindgren´s Ronja the robber´s daughter at a flea market today. I´m so happy to own a copy now, we couldn´t really afford books when I was younger.

I bought Porcupine by Meg Tilly. The book cover looked really nice, and the story sounds really interesting.

I found Astrid Lindgren´s Ronja the robber´s daughter at a flea market today. Lucky! I love Ronja the robber's daughter, and me and some friends have actually planned to watch the movie this weekend So today I got books for 1000NOK free from the book club I'm in, which was great. I got: Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood Dracula Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck Ulysses - James Joyce A Room of One's Own - Virginia Woolf The Second Sex - Simone De Beauvoir The Sonetts - Shakespeare How to Breathe Under Water - Julie Orringer and a children's book by Anne Cath Vestly for my nephew. So, so far the day's been good which I think I deserve because last day was all about break-ups and suicides...

Don't worry about it your English is great. The English of people on this board who don't speak it as their first language always impresses me. I'm sorry about your bad day
