Excited to have found this forum

[Comeflyaway]

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I've been on another book forum for a while and have gotten really bored with the lack of participation and discussion on it. I've just found this forum and it looks pretty awesome so I'm excited about that

I've been a big reader my whole life -- my parents really encouraged books and we weren't allowed to watch much TV -- but have only recently become fairly obsessed with finding new titles and places to discuss books that I've read. I'm pretty open-minded about the books I'll try, and I tend to like most books I read, but few blow me away and I hope to find more that do.

Hope to get to know some people on here.

Welcome!
What books have blown you away?

 

[Comeflyaway]

Most recently, I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb, about the sane identical twin of a schizophrenic man. Its 900+ pages kept me glued to it for an entire weekend. Then again, I am a psychology nerd at heart -- went to school for it

You can join us in Virginia if you ever want to come over from the dark side.

Haha sounds good to me. I tend to stay away from Virginia unless I have a good reason to cross that line, though, lol.

I lived there for about seven years but I did love it and visit often.

I just wondered because I know plenty of Americans who have threatened to move to Canada, but none that had actually done it
