I have no idea what the content of Sampo actually is, apart from what you've complained about here, so I picked boxes at random with weighting toward the funny.

I want to read The Alder-Wood Statue but I picked the Aesir noir novel anyway because dude, Aesir noir, how can you go wrong?

I'm surest of my answer to the third; moderately sure of the second; and guessing on the first because I don't know your relatives at all.

I think Alfred is always a huge problem, whether or not you screw him anonymously. (But if you know his name, he's not anonymous, right?)

Why you make me choose between rum and tickyboxes, dammit?!?

For those of us not familiar with Finno-Ugric languages, could you tell us something about these translated Finnish vulgarities? I have a great deal of code compiling now and suspect I may have need of them shortly.

Amen to that!

It's in the same universe, too, just 400 years or so later.

I don't actually know his name. I was just having a Tom Stoppard moment.

And life is full of tough, tough choices.

See my comment in response to zunger for starter links. I have a favorite, but I think it's most effective in the context of the book it's in.

Anyway, the blonde who walks into the detective's office on page one is Sigyn.

i'm dying to know. is Carter Hall a person or a building?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

In this version, he's a big burly defenseman, Tam Lin's roommate and hockey teammate, the whetstone for Janet Laird's wit since the third grade.
