About meI am a Polish Canadian, and read mainly in English. I read a lot of books in Polish in the years from my childhood to young adulthood, and still read some Polish fiction and non-fiction now, but most of the books I read are in English with an occasional book in German.

About my libraryA mixture of fiction and non-fiction, books owned and read, owned and unread, and borrowed and read.
I have been keeping more or less accurate records for the last four or five years. Everything before then is approximate.

Witaj,

No coz, tak bywa :)

Pozdrawiam,
A.
Noticed you liked She's Come Undone, 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 about a disturbed young girl's downward spiral 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). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

I see that you have read a book by [John Robert Colombo] Did you know he just registered with LT and you can be one of the first to send him a message or add him as your friend?

You can find him under "jrc"

If you have any trouble get back to me.

You are the only other person I know who has read 'Generations of Winter', a book that I very much enjoyed. Would you recommend any other books by this writer, or any epic historical novels that take place in Eastern Europe?
Hi - Have you read [The Long Walk]? - I forget the author's name, but its about a Polish soldier taken to Siberia who escapes and walks to India. Good book. I can get you the author's name from my son.
I noticed that you were a fan of Ryszard Kapuscinski, so I thought I'd let you know that a small Canadian press, Biblioasis, has just brought out a volume of his selected poetry. It's the only edition of Kapuscinski's poetry available in english. It's called I Wrote Stone, and was translated from the Polish by Diana Kuprel and Marek Kusiba.

His verse is interesting, and as one would expect, thoughtful, philosophical, aphoristic and engaged politically, morally and viscerally with the world around him. It's something all fans of Kapuscinski should read, a book that meant a lot to him, and that he worked very hard to see published before his death. It's a shame, alas, that he did not quite make it.

Anyway, it's available from Biblioasis. Online (www.biblioasis.com, www.amazon.com) and anywhere else you can find good books. Check it out.

(Sorry: I am an interested party: the publisher. But we're a small, literary press, and we're just doing our best to let anyone who might be interested know about this collection. Pardon my intrusion.)

Hi Niecierpek,

Thanks for the information and the websites on the photo. Fascinating! I will print a copy and post it for others to see.

Cheers.
Interesting collection of books you have here.

Where is that photo taken on your profile page?
It's nice to meet you! I look forward to exploring your books.
