I really enjoyed it. I am now reading Cockroaches by the same author. I tend to read most, if not all of the books written by an author I enjoy and thus far he doesn't disappoint.

Good 🙂 but may I recommend that you don't try 'The Thirst', unless you have already read it.

I toyed with the idea but take your recommendations seriously as all those you have "guided" me to have been, in my mind, winners and for that I thank you. OK Nesbo I found on my own but the ones you've recommended have been winners.

And so have the books you suggested to me. 🙂 The best ones, in my opinion are "The curious Incident of the dog in the night-time" and "My family and other animals".
Currently reading two books, just work on the first one I pick up🙂
Eater, by Gregory Benford and Ultima by Stephen Baxter, both sci fi. Eater, about a magnetic life form that can take in an asteroid and using a small black hole dismember the asteroid and use the energy generated to propel itself though the universe, and is over a billion years old, now aiming at Earth, demanding humans to be downloaded to digital copies and with the intention of destroying Earth.
Ultima is an alternate universe where Rome never died out and now has space travel and such.
Jens Lapidus' 'VIP-Room' which I have just finished reading. Lapidus is a Swedish criminal defense lawyer and author. He made his writing debut in August 2006 with 'Snabba Cash', an account of the Stockholm underworld, and the first of the Stockholm Noir trilogy.
His writing has been compared to James Ellroy and Dennis Lehane.
Next book, My Brilliant Friend (2012), is the first of the four-volume work known as 'Neapolitan Novels'.

I'm taking a break to read 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen.This copy was given to me as appreciation by my neighbour who needed my help with an old typewriter (60's perhaps). He still writes his letters by hand but having found this old typewriter, he decided to try it. That's cute, I think.
Originally posted by @sonhouse What's that about? Right now I am reading Ultima by Sephen Baxter, sci fi alternate universe where the Roman empire goes interstellar🙂
It is a steampunk novel, as I found out it is in a serioes.
The machine is a time-machine. But we have a Lord (Langdon St. Ives) who is a Kind of Amateur scientist and detective.
The Royal Society whose members are very unkind to St. Ives.
Lord Kelvin himself, developing interesting devices on magnetism.
We also have the rogue scientist. And we have a lot of mysterious persons.
It is a bit like a Sherlock Holems book with some steampunk science in it. Very entertaining.
I began now the Clockwork dynasty, a book not easily put into categories. Part historic novel, part steampunk, part whodonit...(at least as far as I am now)
Right now I am reading this introduction to one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city of Gothenburg, 'Haga'.
