As something of a collector of anorakisms, I am liable to be found on a train or a military airbase (with permission, of course) anywhere from the North Cape to the Bosphorous - but always with style. Once a career bureaucrat and default member of the 'awkward squad', I've given that up to try to make my way as a professional photographer, something which many think merely confirms my precarious state of mind.

My own tastes and books I have written reflect my eclectic interests.
Volume 2 of the Practical Russian Reader will feature articles from a wide variety of sources such as you mentioned.
While learning Russian I found that using different materials helped to keep my interest alive and so this is what I recommend. Variety and consistency seems to work best.

I notice you have a copy of A Phrase and Sentence Dictionary of Spoken Russian, which I also have.
Are you still studying Russian? If so, you might find Practical Russian Reader helpful. It is a new book of Russian short stories with helpful exercises.
Let me know what you think of it?

Thank you for your comments,which are appreciated as I am only 1 month into this site.I have been wanting to organise my books for ages and my son's partner had this recommended to her and passed it on. We are looking at house downsizing now the kids have left,which will mean book reduction as well,and it will be easier to decide with it all logged.Being also a PC greenhorn there is much I need to still learn on this site,for example I keep failing to produce a wishlist which is so usefulwhen using Abe I look for things I would Like.I also have problems having enough tags to segment the booka adequately yet not be awash with nearly as many tags as books.Because I am still inputting My Profile is very Industry skewed but in time it may present mee as a more rounded individual.
Again many thanks fo
r taking the time to write-John

I'm not checking up on you, I noticed bulkgaria and just thought you would probably rather not have it.

you use tags bulgaria and buklgaria. Am I right that the latter is a typo for the former?

Hey! You use collections like I do! I think we're the only ones. :)

I was impressed by your detailed tagging and descriptions. Some of the railway items look like tough cataloguing to me. Glad to hear you were a librarian - where did you work?
I am definitely not impressed with KM. To me it seems to be a mish mash of trad library methods (like classification and thesaurus construction) with MBA-waffle about valuing employees for their 'unique personal knowledge' and imposing models demonstrating the (obvious) importance of information in business. Enjoy your course! :-)

Interested to hear of the Red Cross modelling chap. I'm in south Brum. May not get over to SC but do you attend the Railway Modelling exhibition at Cocks Moors Leisure Centre?

Most of my day job consists of software testing, or leading testing efforts. The testing is the best part of the job for me though, as I hate being stuck in meetings all day.
Happy Reading!
