Plans for the future: to finish Ulysses by James Joyce one day..., to win the lottery and then: start a bookshop, go to university and continue my half finished study philosophy, write a book, or perhaps two. So perhaps I'd better start with Ulysses first, since that seems to be the most reasonable one;...
About my libraryLT: still in the process of adding books, a few each time. Rating is generally high (read) or not there at all (to read), because we only keep our favourite books.

Voel me zeer vereerd met uw belangstelling voor m'n lijstje boeken. Ik begrijp dat u ook nog enige retro-invoer voor de boeg hebt. Ik vind het een leuk idee om die te gaan volgen, en ga me dus zo direct ervoor aanmelden.
Vriendelijke groeten,
Willem

Ik heb net "De tuinman van niemandsland" uitgelezen dat ik van jou via Bookmooch heb ontvangen. Ik wist niet dat je ook op LT zat. Ik vond het boekje matig interessant (zie recentie), maar nog wel interessant genoeg om te houden. Boeken die ik via BM wegdoe, zijn eigenlijk allen boeken die me helemaal niets zeiden.
Groeten uit Peking,

I'm glad you're interested in reading A Mercy. I just got a copy from the library and have posted a starter question here

Het boek van Solzjenitsyn gelezen.Ik ben het wel met je commentaar eens.De toon is een stuk milder dan wat ik me van Sjalamov herinner.Het exemplaar dat ik las was een vertaling/bewerking van Theun de Vries uit 1971.Zijn stijl kon me niet zo bekoren.Als ik de foto van het boek op uw site zie vermoed ik dat het een jonger exemplaar is en misschien ook een modernere vertaling.Ik ben blij dat ik het gelezen heb maar ben er niet zo door geraakt als door Sjalamov of Primo Levi (over de Nazi kampen).
Groetjes,
Gust
