Hello everyone!

My name is Lucas I'm 23, and I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. I am a graduate from the University of Alabama with a degree in English and Latin. I'm currently teaching English to young kids (between the ages of 5 and 15) in Yanliang, China (near Xi'an, China). I have been in China for 6 months now and although I don't currently speak fluent Chinese, I'm learning to as we speak.

I love reading and in a city with no English, sometimes a novel in English is just enough to keep me sane. My favorite novel is The Idiot by Dostoevsky, for reasons that I myself have trouble explaining. Another one of my favorite novels is John Fowles' The Magus. To be fair though, I have many novels which I could all say changed my life in one way or another, but I'm sure you don't want to hear all about that.

That's about it, if you have any questions please let me know and I look forward to getting to know everyone here.
