MissMohawk Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have always liked reading but I have recently started to expand on the type of books that I read. For many years I was reading crime fiction and not much else. Favourite authors being Chris Carter and Karin Slaughter. Very recently I decided to pick up some different types of books and to my surprise a whole new world opened up. I recently flew though Pride and Prejudice and really enjoyed it. I just finished The Call of the Wild and although it was short it was brilliant. I am currently about a third of the way through The Count of Monte Cristo. I am a physical paper book kind of person.

lunababymoonchild Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hello and welcome MissMohawk. I like to stretch my reading too and, like you, I am a physical paper book kind of person (I do have e-books though). Good to see you, please feel free to join in anywhere.

Hayley Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi, welcome to the forum! I’m a paper book person too. I have a kindle but I find it harder to ‘get into’ ebooks. I liked Pride and Prejudice as well (although I didn’t really expect to like it as much as I did!). I’ve never read The Call of the Wild though. Might need to add that to my list!

timebug Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hello and welcome! I prefer 'real' books too, but I must admit I have a sneaking fondness for my ereader which allows me to carry dozens of books when I go away on holiday or whatever!

KEV67 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hello. It has been a long time since I read Call of the Wild, but I remember thinking it was good. Jack London was unique. I liked Pride and Prejudice, which was far more entertaining than I thought it would be. The Count of Monte Cristo was great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
France Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I adore Pride and Prejudice, both as a book on on audio, I love listening to books I've already read and enjoyed. I used to be a firm paper book lover and just used my Kobo for travelling and in the gaps at work (I'm a tour guide and for some reason it's not seen as slacking between shifts to be immersed in an electronic device, having a real book in your hands is!). However I upgraded to a larger screen Kobo and it's so much more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call of the Wild and Pride and Prejudice are both excellent books. You have read some good stuff. May I suggest some of John Steinbeck's books (I am prejudiced as he is probably my favorite author). Anyhow, welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
