Wow, Josh! 200 books AND you're on target? I bow to superior reading skills.My name is Leah, I'm 24 and I live in the OTHER commonwealth, Virginia, currently attending Old Dominion University and majoring in English Literature. My reading goal is 50 books this year, and I am 2 books behind schedule. I read kind of slowly, which many people make fun of me for, but I don't care, because I usually seem to remember more of what happened in them than others. I also listen to audiobooks, which I started doing while I was a pizza delivery driver because it was a better use of my time.
I've JUST finished Shadow of the Giant by Orson Scott Card, and am in the middle of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein. I like to read from most genres, but I have a weakness for YA. I can't help it.
My favorite writers include Scott Westerfeld and JK Rowling. My absolute favorite comfort book is Avalon High by Meg Cabot. I read it when I'm sad and it makes me feel better. Don't really know why.
I've never been in a book club before, but I figure it sounds like fun.
Even if you are only getting through 50 books in a year, it is time well spent if some is spent in the Enderverse :)
Most of it this year has been spent in the Enderverse to be honest.Alas, I have SO many books to read for my literature classes! EEK! Reading House of Leaves right now too, along with the others I've listed.
Hi! I'm Amy, and I love reading. It is definitely my escape. I joined this group to get new recommendations and to meet other readers!So if there is a book you love, send it my way! I would love to try it out!
But hi, I'm Josh ... I'm 34 ... from Massachusetts and in the interests of having that ever-growing list, I'm on a quest this year to read 200 books and am even on pace.
Which means I will read just about anything, but also like to have some direction and people to bounce ideas off, hence thinking this group sounded pretty good.
