New language magazine

Spending another Sunday dining with Ragna, I ended up buying the first edition of a new Norwegian magazine named Ordforord (Eng: Wordbyword). Judging by first looks and the editorial comment, it discusses literature in diverse contexts (political, philosophical and other) and language development or deterioration--the last being a completely separate, and very interesting, topic in my opinion.

Funnily, last time Ragna and I walked into a magazine-/bookstore I walked out carrying the small book Hva er språk? (Eng: What is language?) in my hands. It seems Ragna makes me attentive to non-material values, ironically enough resulting in the materialistic act of buying...
