Book lovers never go to bed alone

I love reading and I think the idea of Bookcrossing is great. I register and release also books I don't read, so my books don't necessarily represent my actual taste in books. My main passion is science fiction, especially space opera, but I read also fantasy, historical fiction, British crime novels, British comedy/satire, many kinds of comics and non-fiction books. I read both in Finnish and in English. I'm interested in linguistics, (cultural) history and natural sciences (biology, paleontology, genetics, astronomy etc.) Some of my favourite authors are Sheri S. Tepper, Lois McMaster Bujold, Stephen Baxter, Peter F. Hamilton, John Barnes, Robert J. Sawyer, Iain M. Banks, Orson Scott Card, Bill Bryson, Sue Townsend, Stephen King, Ben Elton and Ursula K. LeGuin.
