One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple. ― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
I love literature & grab a book whenever and wherever I can. I most often read in Finnish, English, and French; occasionally in Swedish, Esperanto, and Ido; less in other languages. Originals and translations. Poetry, prose, drama, comics, non-fiction. Genres aside, I always enjoy very particular twists of humor. And hey—I'm always willing to explore!
BookCrossing continues to introduce me to genres and authors outside my usual scope. I'd love to hear from fellow BookCrossers, the literati and the cognoscenti—feel free to PM me if there's anything on my bookshelf that catches your eye.
The Tampere BCers meet fortnightly, and we warmly welcome new members! For meetup dates, any changes in the schedule, or other important notices, please see the Finnish Forum or the Varafoorumi board. See also Bookcrossingfinland.net for information on Finnish BookCrossing.
Sep 2011: I just started learning Modern Greek. I was fascinated by Classical Greek when I was younger, but have forgotten much too much; so I'm exploring and would be tremendously grateful for any used or new textbooks and other learning material... they would go to good use!
