You can say that again.
Looks like this thread hasn't been used in a while, but what the hell, here goes.
I am an old guy; former trombone player; former hair-stylist; former business owner in Brazil; former marketing manager for a fortune 500 com; former management trainee in Mexico City; former VP of a Management Recruiting/Consulting firm in São Paulo; former Peace Corps Volunteer; currently retiree of a major US airline; 2008 Obama precinct chairman; and originally from a small, typically Southern town in East Texas.
Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie and to be honest I found this forum while looking for answers to my daughter's questions for her A level coursework. I've read most of the books she's studying but it was a long time ago. In light of this I've re-read a lot of novels I read in my youth as well as 'new' stuff like Kite Runner. It's such a difference to read these books for pleasure rather than analysing every word or nuance.....not very helpful from my daughter's point of view though.
The biographical stuff?......I'm in my 50's, four children ranging from late teens to thirties. I work in Sexual Health supporting those that are involved in sex work and I have a degree in Medieval and Modern History with History of Art. As a preference I like historical fiction but then get really annoyed when they ignore historical facts. I read the Da Vinci Code knowing that it would drive me mental and sure enough it did! As it is his 200th anniversary I am currently reading the works of Dickens and discovering some absolute gems that passed me by previously. I'm quite catholic in my tastes though, I will read practically anything from the classics to the trashiest of blockbusters as a bit of light relief. I'm also quite keen on Pratchett and Gaiman, anything with a bit of intelligence and humour I suppose.
Anyway folks I'm happy to be here - Ellybelly x

Ok so just to say a big thanks to everyone who has put together the quizzes, they have been immensely useful to my investigation for my new library position at the English academy where I work. I needed to get the pupils into the library and show them the possibilities and facilities like the books on offer plus the use of the computers. we are now using the quizzes for web-quests and to introduce them to reading specially chosen books for the bookworm club, and as this year is the bi-centenary of Mr. Dickens... it´s working a sinch!
Welcome all!
It's nice to see you availing various useful forum features!
Enjoy your stay on board!
