Mia <3 Bodil Malmsten, Dec 19 2009

Bodil Malmsten December 16 2009

This is quite insane and yes, that is a picture of Bodil Malmsten signing my book. On the way to see Malin and Christine, Niklas and I decided to go see Bodil after all…

This doesn’t make sense at all, does it?

Bodil Malmsten is signing her new book tonight and though I’d very much like a copy of it I’m not sure if I could handle meeting her. I think I’m supposed to love her from a safe distance.

The little prince (and the fox)

My favorite children’s book is The little prince. When I have a child of my own I will read The little prince every night, as much for my child as for myself.

The Guardian on Marcel Proust in 1922

This is what The Guardian had to say about Marcel Proust and his death in 1922 and how I would like to be remembered.

From the diary of a Russian dreamer

I want to quote every line of Dostoyevsky’s White nights. “I don’t know how to be silent when my heart is speaking.”

The heart of the matter

In between Proust and his 4000 pages I read a page or two by Graham Greene.

A pleasant surprise

Happiness is having a boyfriend that surprises you with Lauren Conrad’s novel when you’re too sick to get out of bed.

Autumn de Wilde’s Elliott Smith

Shortly after I’d discovered Elliott Smith, thanks to Paranoid park, we found this beautiful book at Rough trade in London. To quote Elliott himself, “It looks so good I threw up!”

It’s me and Marcel

“Marcel? No thank you, I’m already bored.”
