“Журналистиката не уморява, тя изхабява".”
― Стефан Продев

“„Бедна българска журналистико! Защо не окнеш така, че полилеите в парламента да изпопадат. Защо не стиснеш перото си мъжки, та от камъка да потече мляко. От какво се страхуваш? От репресиите ли, от себе си ли?”

“Всяка дума може да бъде ударена, ранена или анатемосана. Така започва смъртта и, която натъжава или отблъсква. Затова речникът не е само извор, но и гробище.”

Hello, Lucy. Thank you very much for your kind words. And to answer your question. Since I am new to Goodreads when I have the chance I add the books that i've read in the last years. Of course I can't read thousand of books for a few months. No one in the world can read that fast. I read probably 150-200 books a year. And if you add the poetry collections that I read all the time, the books are probably more. But that's the beauty with poetry, isn't it? For example: i write my own books of poetry for a whole year and when it's published you can read it for 20-30 minutes. That is beautiful!:)

All the best!

Just dropping by to say hi! and that I really enjoy your bookshelves; they're wonderful and full of great books I can't wait to read some day. It's also a bit incredulous that you've read almost 1000 books; wow, how do you even manage that? Your updates show that you add tons of books every day -- all read?
