Hello everyone. I want to introduce myself to you as this is my first day here. My name is Tuba. I am from Turkey. I like reading, especially literature. I wanted to emphasize this because some people think that literature is vain and useless. (Some of them even say they prefer reading better things which they may learn someting from). I find these remarks very strange though.
My favorite writer is Jerzy Kosinski.
I can not say I am a good reader, at least not as good as I want to be. I know time is not an excuse but I am working and following my Phd degree in statistics at the same time. They are both time consuming works for me. Other than that I have other hobbies which require some time. I enjoy collecting photographs and reading old Turkish manuscipts. My collecting habit is again related with literature. My specialty area is photographs and autographs of literary figures. I am sharing all of my photos on my website. So, uploading every item onto the website and keeping it up to date takes a lot of time too. But still, I am trying to spare more time for reading.
One way to overcome the time problem is always carrying some reading material with me. Wherever I go I always take a book and I read on the bus, or while waiting in line in the bank, etc. I am sure many of you are doing the same thing but for me its a life saver.
I guess this much is enough for introducing myself. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
