About meJust a little bookhling digging through the city of dreaming books.

When I read, it's as if the soles of the letters brush past my body like strands of wind, its inexplicable sensation differing in the infinite gradient of each words and phrases. It's a real shame that interest in reading doesn't always reflect ability in writing :)

I love reading, of course. It doesn't even need to be a book. Restaurant pamphlets, nutrient tags, random notes jotted down on practically anything from historical monuments to graffitties. Sometimes I take a whole day off and spend it at the Metropolitan museum of art. Not that I have any profound understanding of the art, I just love walking through that place, calmly observing people and things while breathing in the allure of civilizations of search for aesthetic lucidity. Recently I've taken interest in Auguste Rodin's and Jasper Johns' works.

Maybe someday I can learn to write upon this world itself using languages never spoken or written down before. For that day, I continue to educate myself at every opportunity open to me, with anyone willing to speak their mind.

About my libraryMy books are really mostly for my professional interest. I am currently studying physics in college, with ultimate goal of getting a PhD, though I must say that the day is far off from now.

I do love reading in all sorts of different fields, however. Chemistry, biology, linguistics, and simple fictions and proses to round off the hard edge of the working day. I have been absolutely in love with Susanna Clarkes Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell for a while now. I also like Jorges Luis Borges and his brand of fantastic and contemplative fictions. Michael Ende is also a great author I would heartily recommend to just about anyone.

I am always on the lookout for a good book to read, regardless of the genre and themes. If you can think of any book you have really enjoyed, please do not hesitate to contact me.
