Good afternoon.
Yesterday I discovered this forum, quite randomly, and it caught my attention as potentially interesting place, so I decided to register myself. After a couple of replies to other threads it occurred to me that I was probably expected to introduce myself somewhere, so here am I, in an attempt to do that.
I am Anastasija [or, shorter, Nastja] and I am 17 years old, completing my pre-last year of lycem education [after which I am the most likely going to pursue further the studies of Latin and Greek at university]. My interests include philosophy, (European) history, literature and foreign [classical as well as modern] languages. I am also addicted to tea and tisanes.
Regarding literature, I have been an avid reader since my earliest childhood, and I read a lot [the result is that my eyesight and my grades in non-humanistic subjects at school suffer a bit]. My reading repertoire is quite diverse - from Homer, Greek tragedies, Milton or Dante to Dostoevsky, Goethe, Byron, Hesse or Yourcenar, and many others - and a bit out of order, presenting a weird mix. I am very fond of the works written in verse.
From time to time I tend to write something myself - and one day I will probably experience a great amount of laughter over my juvenile hexameters - but I could not say that I am seriously into writing. Yet, at least.
Overall, may I say that I am glad to have found a place like this, and I hope to exchange my reading experiences with you.
Nastja
