I've just recently entered cyberworld, since I parted ways with a 24 year career in the General Insurance Industry as a high level executive. Have read many soul inspiring works over the past year, Robin Sharma, John Maxwell, Mitch Albom, Biographies on Benjamin Franklin, Winston Churchill. Fiction works by Diana Gabaldon, read the entire Outlander series in just 5 months. Also read all the J.K. Rowling works this year, which I enjoy more than the movies. I think I've been reading a book a week, some significant, some not.
Love to read, just about anything, have read to my two boys (ages 8 & 9) faithfully everynight since they were born. Read to my husband also, who doesn't read well by himself, a pity really - but manages quite well as a splendid tradesman.
Always wanted to go to University to study literature, but wasn't blessed into a wealthy family. So as I pass into the early forties now realize that it's never too late to do whatever you've always wanted to do.
This is the first forum which I've indulged in, so I consider myself a rookie, but will gladly dive right in and explore what the world of literature has to behold.
I stumbled onto this website while researching Rudyard Kipling, I read "The Cat that walked by himself" to my boys tonight, one of my all time favourite short stories, now my boys are very well rounded. Very athletic and scholarly at the same time. They've been exposed to C.S. Lewis, long before the Movie, which I find really spoils literary discoveries for kids.
Well I hope for an introduction it didn't go on too much.
Look forward to future discussions.
Cheers!
I
