Recent Book Activity

Updated 19/6/2013

I have address in rabck.com.

I'm more than happy to send books to anyone (and I love to get books also). I'm also willing to lend books that I've marked to my permanent collection.

I love to read almost anything, in English and in Finnish. I like to read comics also. Well, I have never really loved scifi, but I can read even that. =) And history books are okay if they're not boring. The only book I can't read is Moby Dick. And if you want to send me something else than books, I like chocolate, bc labels, tea and well, almost everything. =)
