Introductions and Welcome

I love to read 18th - 20th century classics and recently have gotten into Dostoevsky. I am dying to read The Idiot and Crime and Punishment (waiting for them to arrive from amazon!). I also love dystopian classic literature like Orwell, Huxley, Atwood, Vonnegut, etc.
I also love reading in Spanish, works from Juan Rulfo, Clarice Lispector, Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez, etc. I also enjoy contemporary works like Fiesta en la Madriguera by Juan Pablo Villalobos.
Add me !

I'm Mary, I'm from Northern Ireland, U.K. and like most genres, fantasy, fiction, thriller, romance books 馃摎 Would like more friends. I'm an active user on here. Feel free to add request me. 馃挄

Nice to meet you, Kirill. I am in awe of anyone who has a facility with language. I have forgotten the schoolbook French that I once knew and I have never had the daring to tackle any others.
