Manhattan Transfer Continued

I really liked the book that i finished last week - well, at least the way it was written. It started in the middle of nowhere and ended in the middle of nowhere. Ok, to be honest, it started with coming to Manhattan and finished leaving the Manhattan. In between there were people in different roles and different phases of their lives. There was a guy Bud, who died in the middle of the book by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, there where people making billions, there were people losing billions, people falling in love, people falling out of love - just the way the world is. There is probably no "real" story with the beginning and an end. It's just evolution - people come and go, but the scene is always there. In this case the NYC then.

And this is the reason, why i started reading this - a friend of mine recommended it to me before going to the City. She said, it was the best book she had read about New York. I'm happy i read it. Took my mind off the serious stuff for a while...

As for my life in Malmö - its quite usual, no big changes.

Went to a park the other day and found this Kaali Crater like institution. Strange, but i found it really cool actually. There is something about round landscapes. See it also from Google Maps, if you want to. Its in Pildammsparken.
