bree Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hello All, I registered here yesterday and am having a lovely time browsing around. First of all - what a beautifully presented forum this is! Neat, structured, and yet very "lived-in" and inviting. I was looking for a book-related group - and I'm glad Google brought up this site. About my reading. It's mainly fiction. And mostly juvenile. I did a whole load of reading the first two decades of my life. And spent the next one re-reading everything I loved - in between making a living, and building a life. So my eclectic reading includes Enid Blytons, the Just William series, all things Christie (including the Westmacott stint), Adrian Mole, Wodehouse, James Hardley Chase, Ayn Rand, Pearl S Buck, the Anne series (of Green Gables fame), Georgette Hayers, a few classics (very few), the fantastic Hobbit, LOTR, and Narnia series, and lots of other oddities that I've stumbled over. I'd generally give anything fictional a try - but I can't bear science-fiction, new age best-selling 'page turners', horror, and Mills & Boons 'romance' (I overdosed on them for two teen years when I was supposed to be studying) . Non-fiction is something else I can't get myself to read. (Gandhi's autobiography being the only exception) Poetry - I usually flirt with a few verses of the mystics - Rumi, Gibran - when I'm in the mood for it - which isn't often! I'm hoping to be introduced to something more - which is why I'm here. I found the March Reading Circle post nominating the 'Pied Piper' - and have just ordered it. I hope make the time to read and participate here, and be introduced to new thoughts and books. That's all from me. Thank you for reading!
