Hi. I get jumpy about books, poetry, movies, nature, and music. I go for Steinbeck, Whitman, Hardy, Austen, Hawthorne, Poe, and Marquez. My shelf consists of books I own and have read. The first classic I read at the age of 12 was kidnapped by Stevenson. I was a hopeless romantic then browsing Mills and Boon and Barbara Cartland. My wish list consists of books I wanna read. I just hope I have the time to finish at least six (6) books this summer.
I write poetry and have a collection of my own compositions. I am a taurean so basically I'm a bit stubborn but I got a soft heart. I condemn discrimination, lawlessness, and corruption. I have a discriminating taste when it comes to books. I'm a blogger too. When I feel damn exhausted, I just wanna escape the hush- hush attitude of city life.

Feel free to be my friend.
