T.G. Swenson

A Tumblr with no central theme except to share things that amuse or interest me. I am 24 years old and living in Iowa City, IA with my wife and loving every moment of it. Currently at Kirkwood Community College and will be transferring to University of Iowa soon. Love reading books and comics, writing fiction, collecting old books and books with interesting inscriptions in them, watching all sorts of movies, playing video games (PS3 ID: TessionTG, PC - Steam: Swenny), hockey (Buffalso Sabres and St. Louis Blues fan since Kansas City still has no NHL team... *sigh* Hopefully they will someday).

What subjects will you see here: Anime (a lot of One Piece and FLCL lately), manga, comic books, super heroes, video games, rpgs, jrpgs, books, fantasy fiction, science fiction, creative writing, maybe some of my own fiction if I muster up the courage to share, favorite quotes, hockey, Buffalo Sabres, maybe some personal views of mine, art, illustrations (those that I find worth sharing and tend to be fantasy/sci-fi), concept art (for video games, books, comics, etc), things relating to Iowa and/or Iowa City,aaaand some other stuff but that is most of it.

Looking up Jim Butcher got 7 results, Dresden Files 9, and Codex Alera only 1 on instagram. This is sad! Him and his books need more love!

A friend of mine left this tarot card in a book he gave me and I’ve used it as my bookmark ever since. Looking up the meaning I kept finding things about the owl being the bringer of wisdom and I really felt there couldn’t be a better bookmark to have. And yes, I am reading Game of Thrones.

I think Dante would be the first to admit his English was pretty bad.

Fahrenheit Four Fifty-Dumb

I think this book was a very confusing book. I think it was a good level for my class but like said it was confusing. I liked the idea of not having books in this society. it owuld be great because you would never have to read.

Review of Fahrenheit 451…

You will very rarely see me curse, tumblypoos, but…but…I mean, what the fuck? How is this even possible? This reads like an Onion article.
