On this page I keep a bibliography of books I recommend. Unfortunately for all you English-speaking visitors, most of the books listed here are written and printed in Swedish, and I’m sorry I can’t refer to many English books. But the list may be of some interest anyway, and if you know of a book that especially interesting, don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail, to calle@rehbinder.se, and tell me about it. If I can get hold of such a book, read it and like it, I’ll add it to this list.
