Hey all,
so here is my first post.. I have to say - I'm impressed that there is a community with thousands (tens of thousands? Hundreds?) of people who discuss books. I always suspected there might be one on the web, but never really looked for it until earlier today.
I guess I ought to post a little bit about myself here: I'm a college student in the University of Nevada (not the upgraded community college in Las Vegas, but the original University in Reno :p ), studying political science and international affairs (with emphasis on Asia). I speak fluent Russian, a bit of Spanish and German, am currently studying Japanese, and decided to try to learn some Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin, to be precise) and improve my Spanish. Speaking of which, could you recommend any good textbooks I could use? :) I also happen to have a strong improbability field so I often end up in the middle of something fun (or weird - depends) and have a wild luck when itcomes to raffles and such. My favorite authors are Chuck Palahniuk and Terry Pratchett, but I'm always open to new things. ;)
 
Hi Wanderer. Wow, that's really amazing that you're so fluent in languages. It's not one of my talents, but languages are something that I've always been interested in. I speak a litte Spanish. It's my fourth year doing it in school.
I like Terry Pratchett as well but I had to stop reading him because I'm so used to 'serious' fantasy that I took everything he said way too seriously. I'd be trying to find the inner meaning and get totally confused.
Glad you found Book and Reader. Welcome! :)
 
Welcome Wanderer. Wow. I am so jealous! I wish I could speak more than 1 language. It must be difficult to learn all those different languages and dialects. That's wonderful.
 
Hi! I'm working on a few languages myself, but I'm nowhere near fluent. I envy. So hard.

Nice to meet you!
 
Welcome to the forum Wanderer! I would love to speak several different languages, I started learning two others (other than my native language) but haven't had the time to continue :(

Hope you enjoy it here :)
