Oblomov Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Hi! I am Arun Vajpey, originally from Bangalore, India but now living in Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire. I am a GP by trade. I have been a voracious reader of all kinds of books since I learned to read and have a massive collection. I cannot understand why I have not become a member of a Book Forum beforehand, especially since I subscribe to other forums for movies, diving, comics. photography etc. My taste in books range from comics to sci-fi anthologies to old fashioned thrillers to esoterica to specific interests like the Titanic, Martin Bormann, JFK assassination and astronomy. My absolute favourite place on the surface of the Earth and Venus is Hay-on-Wye, for very obvious reasons. We go there every other year and come back with a bootful of books. Quote
Michelle Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Welcome to here.. there are quite a few nurses around, but I think you're our first GP. (I'm a practice nurse myself.) I hope you enjoy it here. Quote

wrathofkublakhan Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 My taste in books range from comics to sci-fi anthologies to old fashioned thrillers to esoterica to specific interests like the Titanic, Martin Bormann, JFK assassination and astronomy. Oh my, welcome to the forum! That's quite a list; maybe we can redefine you as a "valuable new member"! Hope you enjoy weaving the various threads running through this forum. Quote

Icecream Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Welcome. I found myself thinking the same last year, that I should have been part of a book forum/group a long time ago. Now I can't imagine life without the bcf. Quote
Purple Poppy Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Hello! I'm not sure how I managed to miss your introductory thread, but I feel like I know you already after our chat on the other thread! Hope you enjoy it here. We are a very friendly bunch and there are quite a few nurses here, so you are in good company. I can understand how you love Hay-on-Wye. I'd like to go there one day. I wonder if we have any forum members who live near the town?? Anyone that lucky?Enjoy the forum. I look forward to reading more of your posts.Pp Quote
