    Welcome Allan! I have only recently gotten my first taste of Atwood with Handmaids Tale and simply adored it, you must be having good fun with your thesis Hope you enjoy it here!
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Hello everyone, I stumbled across this forum a while ago and have decided to finally show the courtesy of registering

    I've recently gotten back into the pleasure of reading, after somewhat of an abstinance from any good literature (I can only claim I was possessed by the devil himself, shame on me.. ) but alas, I've found my senses and come running back once more.. so I've a lot of catching up to do and being but a mere young'un at seventeen I've already found so many great books I'm dying to get my teeth into, but am lacking the sufficent time to get through 'um all!
    Gladly up for the task though and consequently you'll find me with my head stuck in a book at almost every spare moment, ahh it is good indeed to be back.

    Currently reading Wuthering Heights, Crime and Punishment, The Red and the Black (almost finished this one now) and as if I haven't overloaded myself already.. a little slice of some Thoreau and Emerson

    Oh, and while I'm at it.. a very happy humpday to you all, my fellow bookwormies.

    I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

    Welcome all. My name is Sarah, and as you can tell I love hockey (I know it might not be true love, but who cares). Along with hockey, I enjoy art (especially graphite and pencil sketches), poetry, writing in general,making people laugh, chocolate, and I could go on forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and I can go on forever with this ever thing, too.

    Hello! I'm new here too. Like Takeahnase, I've been browsing around this forum for a while before I decided to register. Obviously, like so many of you here, I like reading and am trying to find more time to read. Currently, I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and C.S. Forrester's Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies. I've also been reading Moby Dick (on and off). For some reason, I still can't finish the book!

    Hello everyone. I've been checking out these forums for quite sometime and finally decided to register. I'm currently living in Lansing, MI but hoping to move far, far away once i finish my undergrad. I havent had much time to read anything but textbooks and the occaisional ethnography for class since highschool but id like to get back into it. Fav authors would probably Bierce and Stapledon, but that has been known to change depending on my mood.

    I'm also big on films. I used to be a film major for about a year so I know a ton of really obscure artistic/independent/foreign/silent movies. Done some photography as well. Somehow this has officially become the longest introduction i have ever given for myself, so i shall end it promptly.

    I look forward to meeting you all.

    Hello

    Hi Everyone

    Just a quick greeting to all of you

    I have just finished reading 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens and have started 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. Both are wonderful.

    So far in 2007 I have read...

    Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Discourse on the Origin of Inequality

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Reveries of the Solitary Walker

    Henry David Thoreau - Civil Disobedience

    Gandhi - Autobiography

    Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities


    Does anyone else feel that they have so much to read but on so little time?

    Thanks

    Steve (Ominglot)
