Lover of Books and Literature from the Netherlands. Interested in a broad range of literature.
Tolstoy died on this day in 1910, after devoting the final years of his life to this "Calendar of Wisdom" - see Brainpickings (and if you didn't know this website by the great Maria Popova yet, do bookmark it - it's great!) https://www.brainpickings.org/2013/03/15/a-calendar-of-wisdom-tolstoy/

I love most of Paul Auster's work. This book I particularly enjoyed. It makes me want to go visit New York (never been there).
