Hello,

Several years ago I purchased a book in the science fiction/fantasy section of Borders. I no longer have the book, but was interested in reading it again. Trouble is, I don't remember the title, author, or much about the story - which makes me all the more curious to read it again.

What I think I remember is:
1) the characters could access an alternate dimension by shifting themselves/their vision by a specific degree amount
2) there was a scene that took place in Denmark or another country close by
3) something about teacups
4) Ragnarok/Norse mythology
5) something about a clock tower

If anyone has any suggestions as to what it may have been, I'd be most appreciative!

Perhaps, from a memory over 15 years old, Douglas Adams' The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul?

Completely agree here.
Douglas Adams rocked.
Amazon.co.uk: Long, Dark Tea-time of the Soul: Douglas Adams: Books (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Long-Dark-Tea-time-Douglas-Adams/dp/0330309552/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220605250&sr=8-3)

I was wondering what this one was. When I read the description, it reminded me slightly of John C. Wright's "Chaos Chronicles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphans_of_Chaos)" trilogy... you might enjoy that one, too.
