Books I read in Bulgarian

Here I keep track of some of the books that I’ve read. It’s only a selection (I read a lot more books for work); it’s nice to keep track. I like to read book in their original languages where possible: French, German, Dutch, English and I even read a book in Bulgarian. See also books about technology or management, and my favorite books.

I’m an engineer, and enjoy science fiction novels. Some of my favorite authors are Vernor Vinge, Terry Pratchett and LE Modesitt Jr. No overview of my reading habits would be complete without mentioning The Economist — I love that magazine.

Books below are in order of date read; this overview starts with October 2002.

Крадецът на праскови (the Peach Thief)

Bulgaria

Крадецът на праскови or The Peach Thief in English, is a Bulgarian roman about the doomed relationship between a colonel’s wife and a prisoner of war.

The main part of the story is told in flashbacks to the World War I in Veliko Turnovo in Bulgaria. The story itself is straightforward but it is an entertaining read. The author does a fine job of describing the atmosphere of Bulgaria in that time, and it’s a beautifully written book.
