proserpina Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Hey all, I stumbled across this site by accident and I am glad I did. I am a voracious reader and love talking about books almost as much as I adore reading them. I look forward to getting to know you all and chatting some more. Lauren x Quote

proserpina Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 I'll read pretty much anything, including the back of cereal boxes if I am going through a dry spell! I veer between classic literature (especially European) and more modern literary fiction. But I am not that discriminatory, if the plot grabs my attention, I'll read it! Probably my favourite book is "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. The best book I have read this year so far is, I think "The Hours" by Michael Cunningham. At the moment I have two books on the go: "Stalin's Ghost" by Martin Cruz Smith (the newest installment of the Renko books) and "Veronika Decides to Die" by Paulo Coelho. Quote
