Tietoja minusta A touch of gray and a garden that needs weeding.

Some of my favorite "recent discoveries" (mostly coming from my effort to "read around the world"): Naguib Mahfouz and Ismail Kadare.

Random thoughts:

"Too much of a good thing is ... wonderful!" Mae West
"When you look in the abyss, the abyss looks into you." Freddie Nietzsche

And here's what I know about you:

Tietoja kirjastostani Many of our books are old, interesting editions. We hope the children catch the contagion.

A few underappreciated little gems are identified as, well, "underappreciated little gems". If you must peak at one thing in my library, there it is.

I once opened a newly purchased, dusty, 100-year old history book to find a well-preserved four leaf clover pressed inside. I've had better luck on opening other books.

Below is map showing countries from which I have read at least some literature. You can see other people's maps on a thread in the "Reading Globally - Fiction" group. I need to find some good books to read from Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the southern Slavic countries.

Suggestions are always welcome.
