About meI love books...reading them or otherwise just keeping them. I am a writer diplomat currently in St. Petersburg.I developed a reading habit since my childhood and that has continued since then.I have written four books so far. One of them "River Valley to Silicon Valley" was published by Bookwell in 2007, its Russian translation 'V put ot rechnoi dolini' in 2008 and 'Enigmatic Love: Love poems from the Fairy-tale city of Russia(Bookwell) in March 2009. My forthcoming books are 'Fallen Leaves of Autumn' 'Candling the Light','10 Questions of Soul' and 'United Earth'.I would continue writing.

Every day
I see or hear
something
that more or less
kills me
with delight,
that leaves me
like a needle
in the haystack
of light.
It was what I was born for -
to look, to listen,
to lose myself
inside this soft world -
to instruct myself
over and over
in joy,
and acclamation.
Nor am I talking
about the exceptional,
the fearful, the dreadful,
the very extravagant -
but of the ordinary,
the common, the very drab,
the daily presentations.
Oh, good scholar,
I say to myself,
how can you help
but grow wise
with such teachings
as these -
the untrimmable light
of the world,
the ocean's shine,
the prayers that are made
out of grass?
~ Mary Oliver ~

I am currently reading "Sacred Games" by Vikram Chandra. I have just started it, so not much to say about it yet, but I am looking forward to getting further into it. Before that I read Nathan Englander's new one (The Ministry of Special Cases) and it was quite good.

I have recently returned to Classics and am reading Graham Greene's Stamboul Express. For a change I am also reading some non-fiction - Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman, an interesting account of the origin of World War I.
So what are you reading these days?
