I used to read a lot, mostly serious classical books. I used to love drama, opera, ballet, classical music, real art and painting. I have studied all ancient Greek literature. I love poems by Akhmatova, as stranger s life with its pains, losses and tragedies helps me to live. But now the magic power of art stopped being strong and life is becoming more important for me.
