About My Library
I read because my mind needs it. I like to read books I can fall into debate with; that challenge me; that give me new ideas and change my way of seeing the world; books that help me see outside the box. In literature I prefer the way the theme is crafted, the atmospheres it achieves, and the ideas it throws forward rather than the plot line of the book. My favourite authors of literature are Conrad, Dostoevsky, Henry James, Thomas Bernhard, Thomas Mann and Patrick White. My favourite philosophers are Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sloterdijk, Zizek and Cioran.
