Om mitt bibliotek
I'm about halfway into cataloguing my library -- what can be found here are mostly modern fiction and some non-fiction, and a few academic books. It doesn't include my husband's books, books in other languages (Portuguese, French, Spanish), children's books, and all work-related stuff which take up half the book space at home. It also only includes books I've started acquiring after university, and those left over after constant relocation forced me to give away boxes of them.

My reading
I enjoy world literature, war fiction, history, geography, current events, and essays. Now slowly working my way through translated works from Western Europe and Latin America. Also fascinated with literature from Central and Eastern Europe. I love short stories and anthologies -- I always have at least one going.
