During the Summer, Underwood Ink opened — a book café in Nørrebro (the “West Village” part of Nørrebro), Copenhagen — but it only got to my attention now reading this article (in Danish).

I haven’t been there yet — I just learned about it — but judging from the article and their website it looks like the place to go to find new, long tail authors and enjoy the NYC Village feel of Copenhagen. Let me know if you’ve been; I will give it a go during one of the next couple of weekends.

I’m slowly settling down into vacation mode, spending time at the water side with jazz & rock and books. This spring, unfortunately, has been way below average on the books side. So I hope to make up for it during vacation, although I’m sure I’ll get to prioritising at some point.

It’s a mixed bunch of novels, poetry, and business/factual books — and some of them are re-reads. Re-reads go for Atlas Shrugged, The Great Gatsby, The Pyramid Principle, and the Fifth Discipline.

Some of you may notice that there are some key classics in the reading pile as well. Embarrassing, but at least I will get around to them this summer. If anyone thinks I’m making a huge mistake in reading any of the books in the picture — or — have recommendations for great reading in the summer, do let me know.

Soundtrack for this summer is, beyond the jazz age we are now in (Copenhagen and Montreux!), Alphabeat, the Broken Beats, Gnarls Barkley, Hot Chip, John Legend, John Mayer, Neil Young, Portishead, Rasmus Nøhr, and the Stones. I love vacation.

See you on the other side — take it to the max (P.Y.T).
