When navigating the world of literature, it’s nearly impossible to escape the Russians. Their contributions are so great and their influences are so wide that to ignore them is almost akin to ignoring literature in its entirety. As bookworms, that simply must not do. I understand why someone would hesitate to read Russian literature. …
I’m sure all bookworms out there can agree with me when I say that you can never own too many books. I have a mountain in my room that I have yet to read, but I still can’t stay away from my favourite second-hand bookstores. Browsing the aisles of a bookstore is just a …
I tend to treat classic literary writers like gods. That’s not hard to do. How else would you feel when you’re reading a book that’s so full of wisdom and knowledge? However, I think sometimes it’s important to ground our literary heroes. We need to see them as the complex and flawed human beings …

When I tell people I’m a bibliophile, they think of me as a nerd who lives in an isolated room full of books — away from the world affairs, and alien to all things fun. But that’s not who I am. Yes, I love books. But, why should my love for books stop me from …
The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. I’ve always loved this quote by St. Augustine. In fact, I’ve painted it in my reading room. To me, it serves a dual purpose: It reminds me of all the places I want to travel to, and it also …
I love to travel. It allows me to see how life functions, to immerse myself in a completely different world, and to gain awareness of new cultures, customs, places, and people. However, one of the greatest joys about travelling for me is the time I get to catch up on the stories and books I’ve …
