So, just for fun I have been working on this text on Swedish Pop Culture, from A to Ö. Whenever I talk to Americans about what it is like living in Sweden, I always have to explain some weird phenomena or tradition and I have been looking for a book that would provide that information for tourists, people who are moving to Sweden and Swedish-Americans. When I lived in Minnesota, for example, people knew a lot about the old Sweden but not that much about stuff that happened, say, the last 100 years.

Here is a list of the things I have been writing about. Do you have any topics you think should be added to this list? Let me know! What do people need to know about Sweden that is not in every single guide- and history book?
