Chimera Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi everyone! I am a french student and stumbled across this forum whilst looking for reading ideas... It looked friendly so I decided to stop by I loved reading when I was a kid but somehow I have lost the habit along the way, in favor of the internet and television... Though I sometimes still get in a reading frenzie when a book catches my attention and I'll read 5 or 6 in a row... and then stop again. I like all kinds of books, often by periods: when I was a kid I was fascinated by true stories (my favorites were Helen Keller's story and Anne Franck remembered by Miep Gies), then crime stories (Agatha Christie...), books which depict imaginary future worlds (1984, Brave new world, The Ice people, The Immortals), and lots more. My most recent favourites are Extremely loud and Incredibly Close by J. Safran Foer and Digging to America by Ann Tyler. I hope this forum will get me frantically reading again and I'll be looking forward to meeting you all! Chimera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimera Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Thank you everyone for all these welcome! I am starting to know my way around the forum and already love it... I started by collecting reading ideas and just went on a borrowing spree in my local libraries. Unfortunately it's not so easy to find english/ american books in france so I didnt get all those I wanted... but I did get a few. I now have a nice big pile of books just waiting to be read See you all around the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
