Hi!

I’m trying to get active on here, have no idea how to find the right people, so I thought I’d introduce myself.

I’m 27 y/o, from Sweden. I work as a geologist and I spend a lot of time reading books and listening to music. I’m mostly into classics/literary fiction, but also enjoy good #scifi & #fantasy. Some writers I enjoy are: #Tolkien, #RobinHobb, #Turgenev, #dostoyevsky #Zweig, #MervynPeake, #Bulgakov

I used to be part of the ASOIAF fandom on twitter, but that was like 10 years ago…

Today in Writing History December 15, 1905: The Pushkin House was established in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to preserve the cultural heritage of Alexander Pushkin, (6/6/1799–2/10/1837). Pushkin was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era. He was influenced by Enlightenment writers and thinkers, like Diderot and Voltaire. He spoke out in support of social reform, and wrote poems, like “Ode to Liberty,” leading to the government exiling him from the capital. In 1920 the Pushkin House was renamed the Institute of New Russian Literature, with the main objective of preparing authoritative "academic" editions of works by Pushkin, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and others.

Have a favorite Russian author? Please share in the comments.
I like Dostoevsky the best. Then Gogol, Bulgakov & Chernyshevsky.
