I had an errand to the local concentration of stores (Sickla Köpkvarter) and looked into the library in Dieselverkstaden, a centre for performance and art. It’s a little oasis for the velour and DN På Stan-reading set, in the middle of a desert of crass commercialism.
Anyway, the library was very well stocked with quality SF. I quickly snagged MacLeod’s The Execution Channel, Gibson’s Spook Country, and Jennifer Government by Max Barry.
This is nice because I’ve come to the realisation that 99% of the books I read aren’t really worth owning. Most of Stockholm’s libraries have an SF shelf but this was the best I’ve seen for a while.
