Jude-not obscure Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 I'm Jude...and new here. So far I've had a browse round and at a guess I would think it will take me 6 months to work out how this all works...so if someone says hello or asks me something and I don't reply, then please put it down to incompetence...not lack of interest. So what about books??? Well I used to be an avid reader...my necessities to sustain life were oxygen, food (ok chocolate), water and books...not necessarily in that order. Recently life has changed and I've not had enough time...however, normality is beginning to return. So I like Austen, the Brontes..Hardy (ofcourse)...more recently Louis de Bernierre, Sebastian Faulks. The book that has moved me most in recent months is The Kite Runner. The most recent book I read is about Michael Schumacher...the edge of greatness I think it was called....motor racing is another passion. Oh yes and Italy....I'll read anything and everything about Italy and in particular ancient Rome. So that's me. Looking forward to getting to grips with the site and taking part. Jude Quote

JudyB Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Hi Jude I'm a big Hardy fan too my favourite being Far From the Madding Crowd. Hope you enjoy it here JudyB Quote
Purple Poppy Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Hi Jude, (with a name like that, it had to be Hardy or the Beatles!) welcome. I'm sure you'll fit in, and get the hang of it in no time. Looking forward to chatting with you, Pp Quote
Kylie Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Hi Jude, (with a name like that, it had to be Hardy or the Beatles!) welcome. You beat me to it Pp! I was about to open my post with 'Hey Jude'. Anyway, welcome to the forum! Jane Austen is my favourite author and this year we have a reading circle that is focusing on each of her books every two months. We're doing them in chronological order so we did Sense and Sensibility in Jan/Feb and we're now doing Pride and Prejudice in Mar/Apr. Feel free to join in as we'd love to hear your thoughts! Quote
Jude-not obscure Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Thank you to all who have said hello. It's good to be here. I'm beginning to find my way around (I hope). I prefer Far From Madding Crowd too (JudyB)...but to call myself Bathsheba would be a bit much I think! Quote
