Interested in Bulgaria? Moving to the country? Like to read?

Funny, me too. I am interested in Bulgaria. I like to read and I currently live in the country.

When I moved to Bulgaria in August 2008, I didn't know much of anything about the country. I read as much as I could on the internet and got my hands on a couple of general books. Since then, I've read much, much more about the country, the culture and the region.

So here's a rundown of things I've read, have been reading and have been intending to read.
