Puhun suomea. I speak English. Ich spreche Deutsch. Jag talar (lite) svenska. Hablo un poco español. Parlo un po' di italiano.

Luen yleensä kirjoja suomeksi ja englanniksi, joten wishlist-kirjoja minulle saa lähettää kummalla kielellä vain. Ei väliä. :)

I love books and bookcrossing. It's so fascinating to wait for people to review a book you have just read yourself. I like especially books with cats, science, art, scifi, poetry, life stories & memoirs, history, old time crime novels (in style of A. Christie's) and philosophical books that make you think. I don't read pure horror stories.

Usually I read books in finnish or english, but I try to extend my skills to other languages I have learned,so sometimes I read in german, swedish and spanish. I'd also like to read in italian, but that book should be a very easy one.

Other things I like beside books:
I love everything cat-related and I have my own brown burmese cat. <3
I love tea and chocolate.
Me and my cat both love cute socks. I love to wear them and she loves to throw them around the room (or even destroy them..).
I love postcards of seaviews, autumn and cats.
I love everything purple, chocolate brown and deep wine red.

GOOD QUOTES from books:

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." -J.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings-

"With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word `intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be. You always dread the unfamiliar. " -Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451-

"Everyone must leave something behind when he dies, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there. It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away. The difference between the man who just cuts lawns and a real gardener is in the touching, he said. The lawn-cutter might just as well not have been there at all; the gardener will be there a lifetime." -Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451-

"Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince

"Where are the people?" resumed the little prince at last. "It's a little lonely in the desert..." "It is lonely when you're among people, too," said the snake. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince-
