Take a wild guess.

I'm Book, I just wanted to meet more people from around the wprld, my other forum closed down :(.  It was like my family,  but this place looks pretty welcoming.

...I'm a geek, I'm captain of the chess club, and I play in 5 concert bands, and the only teenager that has made friends with the library staff...wh00t.

I'd say you were sad...but both the librarians at my (former) school and local branch know me, so I guess I should say welcome, comrade!

Hello! The folks at the library knew me too.  :D


And no, it wasn't because I was caught 'doing the Bundy' in the library.

Even though I might not show it, goddamn do I love that book. I've bought two!

Right now I'm on Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything (picked it up after a hiatus of epic proportions), still slogging through the supposedly poetic Qu'ran (like all religious texts I've sampled thus far, I find it really boring--sorry Muhammad!), and I'm rocking Alan Fletcher's The Art of Looking Sideways hardcore.

And hi Booky. :)

Try 1984, I know it is perhaps over recommended, but it still presents some interesting ideas about history, the role of language, and the effects of 'intelligence'.

I'm catching up on the pile of magazines right now for the bathroom reading.  I've run out of books in the queue at home and don't have time to go to the library.  I'm planning to meet Bruce and view the sneek preview to The Man With The Screaming Brain tomorrow night in the City so I hope to sneak away at lunch today and buy his new book.  Perhaps this coming weekend I'll get to the library and load up on my bookage.
