CURRENT MISSION
to live, to multiply, to add and to subtract even more, being happy with what i've got and being more happy with what i do not posses

ABOUT ME
I live in a very small village about 70 k's westwards of Vienna. I work, I study, I travel, sometimes in this order, sometimes i don't...
I like cars and engines but hate overengineering which leads me to my main philosophy - simplicity!

PHILOSOPHY
simplicity - well, it's not about little is more, it's about the small simple things which just work - who the hell needs redundance, i'm anyway quite bad in dancing...

音乐、电影和书籍

Good Books - my love;
everything from Ryszard Kapuscinski-Pl (especially the "Travels with Herodotus" and of course the "Historía" of Herodot itself). My especially i love Russian Literature such as Dostojevskij (poor folks, crime and punishment), Gogol (the portrait, the dead souls), Turgenjew (the cherry garden), Bulgakov (The Master and Margarita) or Pasternak's Doktor Shivako, well and of course all this bloody old-slavic stuff such as the Nestor Chronicles. Oh, and there are some german speaking dudes i like, such as Friedrich Duerrenmatt ("Romulus the Great", "The Judge and His Hangman", "The Quarry or Suspicion", "The Visit", "Traps", "Requiem for the Detective Novel", "The Physicists", "The Assignment"...) Max Frisch with his amazing "Homo Faber" (A very importand book for me and my way), Hermann Hesse, hell do i love the "Steppenwolf"... One Italian guy such as Niccolo Ammaniti ("I'm not scared", "away from here"...), and just some other random writers such as Simon Singh with the "Big Bang", Daniel Kehlmann "Die Vermessung der Welt" Paulo Coelho, Guenter K. Koschoreck "Vergiss die Zeit der Dornen nicht", Ernest Hemmingway "Fiesta", Day Bradburry "Fahrenheit 451", F Scott Fitzgerald "The grat Gatsby", Karl Marx, Khaled Hosseini "The Kide runner", J.D. Sallinger "the catcher in the rye", Herbert Brunegger "Saat in den Sturm", Georg Orwell "1984", Robert M. Pirsing "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance", Jeroen Van Bergeijk "My Mercedes is not to sell", Mese Selimovic "The Derwish and the dead", Gregory Roberts "Shantaram", travel letters from Denis Iwanowitsch Fonwisin, all books form Harrari... and so much more... not possible to mention them alllll
Television; I dont look.
Music; I hear.
