current reading

- Umberto Eco Как написать дипломную работу ("How To Wright a Diploma"). I was amused to see, this book was never translataed in english or polish. Or perhaps I was searching not very well...
It very useful book for students, wrighten in quite simple language, with respect to audience, and with wit.:)

- Maciszewski Rafał Mity skandynawskie ("Skandinavian Mithology"). - author with pity on readers - in prosaic way retells all the beautiful mithology according to Younger and Elder Edda's.

- Jorge Luis Borges

The title of the book I can translate as "Tutorship". It's about literature of german languages - in fact the same Scandinavian mithology and a little about different investigations on this theme.

- Скандинавские сказки ("Scandinavian Tales"). Anthology of Swedish, Norwegian and Danish folklor in one book. I found quite old russian edition near food-market - there were several old ladyes selling stuff...
