And today at 13.00 its time for Peter Englund to show up behind the grey door in Börshuset and tell us about the prize in litterature...

Peter Englund is the new permanent secretary of Svenska Akademien and he is a brilliant autor! ( Peter Englund - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
I think its a bad thing he now is one of the 18 in Svenska Akademien, bacause that means HE is not going to get the prize...
When Englund became the new permanent secretary (and public face) of the SA he unfortantly closed his wonderful blog down... you can still read it (if you understand Swedish or have good translator stuff....)here: Peter Englunds blogg

And the winner is: Herta Müller

Five women this year - nice!

I would love to be there when Nobels will be given. It's wonderful thing win that prizes more than sth else. And meet Swedish royal family... Dream.

Now that CP Victoria and P Madeleine are engaged does that mean we will see Daniel & Jonas at the banquet? Or do they have to be married? What is the Custom?

[Dani90]

It is one of the most important events for the Swedish Royal family so I think it's a small chance that you'll see them at the dinner. But if they are I don't think they'll be sitting next to the princesses at the head table instead sit with other important people, like the government at a side table.
