About meMiddle-aged translator, lifelong fascination with anything English and British. My education is really about history and archaeology, I have an MA in Finnish history. However, languages, especially English, have always been my love no. 2. So that explains the amount of English books in my library. Languages are the salt of my life, reading books is extasy.
About my libraryA diverse collection of everything I find interesting. And yes, I own all these books together with my husband.
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 husband has declared me as a bibliomaniac - a person who is addicted to books;) 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.

Tak fordi du har sat vores bibliotek som interessant. Jeg ser, vi har en del bøger tilfælles - de skandinaviske, men også japanske m.fl. - min kone er japansk filolog, jeg selv germansk og latinsk. Jeg har arbejdet med oversættelser fra tysk og med italiensk middelalder. Jeg er egentlig historiker, men har i mange år været administrator. Vi arbejder begge i Det Kongelige Bibliotek, København.
Librarything er før mig et frirum til alle vore dejlige bøger, som jeg gerne ville læse i, i stedet før at tælle Kgl. Biblioteks i regneark.
Jeg håber, du forstår mit skandinaviske.
Mange hilsner fra Danmark

Huomaan että omistat kaksi mun kirjaa - ollaanko me tavattu? Muistan tavanneeni joitakin Hirvosia, mutten yhtään Erjaa! Mutta siis olet kääntäjä, voi hyvinkin olla että ollaan tavattu!

Oman kirjaston luettelointi alkaa olla valmis, joten kiinnostus alkaa siirtyä muiden kirjastoihin :)

Kokeilen tätä palvelua ensin jonkin aikaa, sitten todennäköisesti maksan lisätilasta ja lisään katalogiin karttakirjatkin :)

Many thanks for adding me to your list of 'Interesting Libraries'. I see that we share 140 books,including a few of my favourite Crime Fiction and Crime Reference volumes.
I have visited Helsinki a couple of years ago. Loved it.
Very best wishes from England
