Hello!

Hello! I grew up in a house which was wallpapered with bookshelves, and used to devour them regularly - different genres, styles, quality. But then I somehow grew out of the habit. I still read a bit, and still wrote a few things myself, but nowhere near as much as I used to.

 

Recently, especially with the Coronavirus lockdowns, I've found myself reading more- and even setting up a YouTube channel for reading out-of-copyright stories (haven't had the confidence to put up my own!) This has reminded me how much I love reading, and I've made a conscious decision to get back into it as much as I can.

 

Hence my finding and joining this forum! 

 

I hope to hear about and share in people's enthusiasm for books of all kinds!

Thanks! Most recently a sudden glut of "classic" (ie oldandthusoutofprint) horror authors (for a halloween playlist) - nothing wrong with reading a good few stories by Poe or M. R. James, but H. P. Lovecraft can be someone you can have a surfeit of more quickly! Outside that, I was going through some of the books my partner has - sailed through her Mervyn Peake's "Titus" books, and am now finally getting round to reading Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" which she has been recommending to me for far too long! Getting through a few books from my ancient Sci-fi and fantasy selection, and finding that Fritz Lieber no longer holds me as he did once, but finding new books in my partner's collection which do, so that's a fair swap! (Also a few Welsh language books, but that would be for another forum!)
