About me Middle-aged translator, lifelong fascination with anything English and British.

My education is really about history, I have an MA in Finnish history. However, languages, especially English, have always been my love no. 2.

About my library A diverse collection of everything I find interesting. And yes, I own all these books together with my friend.

A new addition to my tags, a wishlist. There are some books I would like to find, most of them are old but there are newer ones also. I'll try to keep the number small.

My companion has declared me as a biblionist - a person who is addicted to books;)
Books marked pending are mine but at the moment in a storage. I hope I'll get them back soon, after 7 years!

As you see we have different tastes. Arabic books and science are mostly his, I tend to lean towards other languages and history. The detective stories can be from either of our joint libraries.
