Hi, I'm Lucie, and I've been posting for the past week or so without introducing myself, so can I just say:

- I tend to overuse the comma

- I have a habit of reading several books at once (one in my bag for the commute, one for bedtime reading, one for lazy lie-in mornings...)

- My current favoured themes are: modern AND not-so-modern Chinese and Japanese fiction, anything by Alexander McCall Smith set in Edinburgh, small town Americana (and Canadiana, of course ), forensic textbooks, accident and emergency escapades, dead people, food fiction and no-fic, biogs of psycho serial killers, and anything creepy and likely to make me double bolt my door at night...

Hiya Princes Orchid - I'm another who's getting into all things oriental, loves a good psycho between the book covers and is on the ever-on-going search for a book that will completely creep me out!

 

Hope you'll enjoy it here.

fireball, you're not really sending new members to other forums, are you?!

 

Lucie, I hope you enjoy it here. Like Kell I'm always looking for something creepy, so do you have any recommendations?

Hiya Lucie, to the forum.

 

- I tend to overuse the comma

 

I'm guilty of that too. :eek2: Often when I preview my post before posting it, I find I have to take out about half the commas. Same with exclamation points too! I find myself ending alot of my sentences with them! (Case in point! )

Hello and a big welcome.

Can't say I share your enthusiam for scary stuff (am very much a coward), but I have read one 'Oriental' book that I enjoyed. At least I think that was the word, but it was very sad and really made me think. It was Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots: The True Story of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter by Adeline Yen Mah. Have you read it?

Enjoy the forum.
