My first paying job was in a library. It lasted 6 months. I checked all the av-material (e.g dvd's, vhs's, audio books and so on). It was hard work but quite nice.

Welcome to the forum! I'm newbie too!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I'm sure I will enjoy being here and find great ideas what to read next.

I used to use library a lot. I also bought my hardcover books from local bookshops. Now I have started to buy paperbacks because I can have more books a lot cheaper. I found an online shop where almost all the books are couple of euros cheaper so I use it a lot.

I voted 3+. At the moment I have started at least five books. I always have two in my purse so I can read when I go to work/home and then I have one in my nightstand. I also have one in toilet and one in kitchen. So yea, there's many many books I read at once.

I rarely visit bookshops! I almost always buy my books online. But when I go to bookshop to kill some time it takes no more than half an hour. I just check the books on sale or paperbacks.

Well, I rarely go back to books I abandon. Usually those books are picked up from library and I know nothing about them. If couple of first pages are boring I don't even try to read it.

Wow.. you guys are quick! Frankie, wow I'm not the only finn in here! Awesome!

I completely forgot to tell about my favorite books and authors! Silly me! At the moment I'm mainly reading chic lit. Sophie Kinsella is my favorite author, but I also enjoy Lauren Weisberger's books (excluding Devil wears Prada). I used to read a lot of Sci-fi too. Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End is something I want to read again and again. From fantasy genre I (of course) like Harry Potter series. I'm not big fan of fantasy thou.

Hello everyone! It was really nice to find an active discussion forum. Even thou my English isnt't that good I try to be post as much as I can. I'm 25 year old lady from Finland, Europe. Literature has been my passion from the day one I learned to read. Before that my mother used to read me a lot and I just continued to do so. (Thanks mommy!) When I was a kid I always borrowed at least 15 books from our local library and read everything really fast. I also wrote my own little stories and poems. My dream was to be a librarian when I grow up. When I grew up I worked in a library for a year! Now I'm working in our university library's office.. so kind of a librarian still.. Unfortunately I don't have much time to read anymore but there's always atleast two books waiting me. I apologize my grammar!
