RólamI'm married with two Danish-Australian children, Anna (10) and Carl (7). I work as an international legal advisor for the Danish Institute for Human Rights, with current projects in Vietnam, China, Iran, Bangladesh and Papua and New Guinea.

I've posted a small collection of family and travel photos at woophy.com

A könyvtáramrólI've enjoyed reading books, for work and for pleasure, as long as I can remember. Its something my parents instilled in me and which I would like to pass on to my own two children.

My library reflects the places I have lived, the countries I have visited, friends and lovers old and new, and, not least, my own imaginings of other lives that might be lived, places not yet explored. My mother and father gave me English classics to read. I read a lot more English literature at university, and in my spare time some Russian and French classics. Only later did I start exploring Ozlit, and even later again, the literatures of Southern, Eastern, and, most important of all, Central Europe.

I don't like to rate books, but I use the tag 'just a great book' for those books that have meant a lot to me through the years, or which I admire greatly. Style is more important to me than content. I could read the phone book if it was written by Joseph Roth.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your message, and for the Sosekei recommendations. I will look out for them, I think he is readily available in Taiwan.

I like your review of The Tree of Man very much. I read Voss years and years ago, and was always struck by the genius of the opening in particular. I obviously need to read more PW.

I am enjoying browsing through your library!

Best wishes,
Murr
Paul,

Yours is an interesting library as well and I think I will return the favor. I was looking through your Scandianavian, German and French lists. We share some books but there are a lot more we don't. Anyway I look at that as probably a good thing. I always like to find something new.
The World of Yesterday -- a really interesting book. I am also besotted with Central Europe and its literature, Zweig and Roth particularly, and in recent years, Sebald has give me more pleasure than any other writer. I'm chipping away at the German language and have just reached the point at which I can read a (short) novel auf Deutsch. I started with The Legend of the Holy Drinker. ( I'm Skinnersrow in Librarything; Skinners' Row was the name of my street in the 17th c. -- a leather making and tanning area with a book binding trade as well.)
All the best from Dublin, Kevin Honan
