About meIn het dagelijks leven ben ik een student geschiedenis en literatuurwetenschap.

I'm a student of history (ancient history) and literature.

My 60 books challenge: http://www.librarything.nl/topic/53460

Finished 54/60.

About my libraryMijn interesse voor boeken is breed; ik lees zowat alles wat los en vast zit. Voor mijn studies koop ik regelmatig boeken over oude geschiedenis, literatuurtheorie en romans. Verder ga ik af en toe naar de bibliotheek, anders zou ik niet meer in mijn kamer kunnen slapen!

I'm reading quite a lot, first of all because I of my studies. I don't mind that, because through that studies I get to read different books than I usually read. That books suprise me most of the times in a good way. It's therefore necessary that I buy books - non-fiction about literary theory and history and novels -. But I'm also a member of four different libraries where I regulary go to.

Recently read:
Beloved - Morrison
The old man and the sea- Hemingway

Currently reading:
Life and fate - Grossman

Noticed you liked As I Lay Dying, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter)in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit:

Teilhard de Chardin - We Shall Harness for God the Energies of Love

Some day, after we have mastered the wind,
the waves, the tides, and gravity,
We shall harness for God the energies of Love.
Then, for the second time in the history of the world,
we will have discovered fire.

Teilhard de Chardin
Dag Leuntje,
Wat een compliment, dank je wel. Meteen ook een goed excuus om even op jouw pagina's te kijken. Leuk dat je zelf boeken recenseert!
Groetjes
Ingrid (van Amelsfort)
Thanks Leuntje. I envy you for studying history, and I;m looking forward to hunt for some good titles from your library :)
So many thanks for adding me as a friend. We share interests in literary theory and classical studies.

Take care,

What is Paul Veyne's conclusion? Did the Greeks believe their myths?
Ik dacht eerst ook dat LibraryThing vooral mijn leestijd ging verkleinen; maar 't is niet echt zo. Eens je al je boeken hebt ingevoerd dan voel je plots dat je _moet_ lezen. Aan welke universiteit studeer je? Als je in Leiden zit kan ik je de master boekwetenschap aanraden - die zou ik zelf ook ooit graag volgen... En als je geschiedenis en literatuur studeert dan kom je altijd met boeken in aanraking!
Hallo Leuntje, 't mag ook in het Nederlands ;-) Ik zal het groeien van je bibliotheek nieuwsgierig volgen!
