Are there any Scandinavian travel books?

[Aaron]

Ever since I was a child I have LOVED Scandinavia, mainly Sweden. I have no idea what made me like that part of the wold but even now at 24 I am still in love with it. I am planning on going to Sweden in the next year so so but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good travelogues of people who have explored that region as then I can plan my trip a bit better and hopefully explore more of the country and not just stick to Stockholm

Hi Aaron, I haven't read any of these books I am about to write below, but I will mention them anyway. I have a travel book that mentions one book to read for each country in the world. Here are the books for:
Sweden: Charlotte Rosen Svensson's Culture shock! Sweden: A Guide to Customs and Etiquette
Finland: anything by Aleksis Kivi, who founded modern Finnish literature with Seven Brothers, a story of brothers who try to escape civilization in favor of the forest.
Norway: A Doll's House by quintessential Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen, or Jostein Gaarder's bestseller Sophie's World.
Also, if you are looking for more insight into Sweden, I would check out www.frommers.com. If you register for free with the site, you can add questions in the forum or search for chats about Sweden. I have found a lot of really great advice from people there, other travelers to let you know what they liked best, tips, etc.
Have a great trip!

It won't help with planning for Sweden, but Summer Light: A Walk Across Norway - Lonely Planet Journeys was interesting
