Om migAutodescription eludes me. Better then to describe my tastes:

The best poetry is Polish. The best architecture is Turkish. The best language is Arabic. The best art is Dutch. The best cuisine is Indian. The best landscapes are Italian. The best holidays are Mexican. The best philosophy is Chinese. The best comedy is British. The best dance is Argentine.

Favorite words in English: chicken, cranny, ain't, use-ta-could, and meow
Favorite romance language words: olé, oh là là, and bo.

Om mit bibliotekThis is a list of books I have loved and books I hope to read. (More of the latter than the former, because I pretty much want to read everything.) My rating system is simple:

If it wowed me from the start, it got five stars. If it wooed me slowly as I read it, it got four. If it won me over with a struggle, it got three. Those I haven't read yet are not rated. (Normally if I don't like a book, I simply don't list it, but since I occasionally read for Early Reviewers/Member Giveaways, there are a few books that must remain in my library even though I don't like them. My apologies to the authors of those books. If you want to write me a bad review in return, feel free. Maybe we can go for coffee afterwards and spend the whole time glaring at each other over our cups. Or we could commiserate, cry on each other's shoulders, and become fast friends. I prefer the latter option, but it's up to you.)
