Okay, so maybe it
is a little confusing... I'm in England, from Holland... and my dad's Dutch and my mom's Swedish. I do speak the language, but my vocubalary isn't as broad as I'd like it to be. I only go there like once a year and I don't speak it that much with my mom. I'm better at English. But then, I speak that every day.

And Guillou and Mankell is definitely *not* anywhere near the best thing you can read in Swedish.

I don't doubt that Swedish literature has much more to offer. Just saying that those are some books I really enjoyed. I also quite liked "Röde Orm". I must admit I haven't actually read a whole lot more...
