Coming up for air...

Okay, so, well. Starting this blog right before my final exams started was not an especially smart move, but that's what I do...

I was planning on updating here much more, but the end of May has been pretty crazy busy (studying and work) and the last weeks were just frenzied studying. Also, although I'm reading a lot (studying for lit exams does that to you), I don't read a lot I want to blog about... and even if I would want to, I certainly don't have the time to think about writing a review or any such thing.
So, what I read and maybe might be worth an extra post at some later time are "The Overcoat" by Gogol, some stories by Lyudmila Petrushevskaya and maybe a history book "Catherine the Great" by Madariaga, which I found to be a great (and relaxing, compared to Russian lit) read.

So, yeah, that's it for now. Mid week I'll switch to Spanish lit, we'll see how that goes.
