Hey!
I'm excited to find a forum dedicated to literature. I'm a complete nerd, and sadly almost none of my friends would like to discuss the adventures of the Canturbury Tales or figure out the grittier details of Macbeth...so, what a God-send this is!
Also, I guess I'm pretty weird even for a bookworm...I have no favorite author and no favorite book. Though it might be close to being the entire series of The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke. And a trilogy that I can't remember the name or author of for the life of me. But really, it's taken me twenty minutes to remember that. :-)
As for genre, I tend to gravitate towards fantasy and, contrastly, young adult fiction(like, books set in urban areas and high school stuff, or whatever). Just now am I immersing my poor hurting brain into the major classics.
And I never want to hear To Kill A Mockingbird again. 10th grade- read it. Last semester- read it again. Current semester- switched classes and endured yet another 4 weeks of the meaning behind killing mockingbirds. Sorry, Scout, I know you were awesome and all about exposing the hypocritical racism of the dirty south, but we just can't see eachother anymore.
Anyway. Hola!
