I'm an MA of linguistics. like all my friends here, reading is my passion. even more than passion: it's my living style. I'm reading books since I've learnt how to and cannot imagine a life without them. I read almost everything,from linguistic textbooks to children literature. as a teen I used to read grown up stuff.
