I'm a huge science fiction fan - Neal Stephenson and Frank Herbert are two of my favorites. I'm hoping to find others who like to talk books. </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/hello#post-56 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 21:51:14 +0000 HoneyBrook 56@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>Hello there...I am a 28 year old female and I reside in PA! I am an elementary school teacher, therefore I try to keep myself abreast as to what my students read. For my own sanity I enjoy reading anything fiction, however tend to stay away from Sci-fi and math. However as deborah said, if it is "dumbed down enough" I will enjoy it. My current favorite author is Jodi Picoult and have my own personal library of her novels. As if reading wasn't enough I also enjoy audio-books on my daily commute to and from work. This is something I highly suggest if you have a long commute, although be mindful of your speeds, something I recenlty am not doing, as my speeding tickets are adding up...(I am just to into the story.) Happy reading!!! </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/hello#post-44 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:45:57 +0000 deborah 44@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>Hi, I'm female, 46 and live in Portland, OR. I read most anything from history to Science Fiction. Not too keen on math or science, but if it's dumbed down enough, I can enjoy it. I've learned of some interesting book from CLR and decided to join in the discussion. </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/hello#post-40 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:35:33 +0000 hardboiled 40@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>I'm 46, male. Born, raised and currently reside in Texas. I'm a big crime fiction fan. James Ellroy and Elmore Leonard are my two favorites. </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/hello#post-25 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 14:57:03 +0000 burt 25@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>Hi, I'm 32, live in Ohio. I'm a history and military buff. Also enjoy reading and discussing politics. I lean to the right, probably closer to Libertarian than Republican. I look forward to joining in some interesting discussions. </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/hello#post-9 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 11:16:07 +0000 Jem Bloomfield 9@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>I'll follow the lead. I'm 25, male, and living in Exeter, in the west of England. Currently working on a doctorate on Webster's "The Duchess of Malfi", which is a great excuse to spend weeks grubbing around in odd nooks of theatre history. Generally write scripts and cultural criticism (if only there was a less pretentious or less vague term for that!) In fiction I read a fair amount of crime fiction and plays (particularly fond of Le Carre, Stoppard, and Ellroy) and in non-fiction politics and philosophy (just finished Christopher Hitchens' "biography" of The Rights of Man.) I'm likewise keen to hear what's being read and thought - CLR seems an excellent place to exchange views. </p> http://www.calitreview.com/forum/topic/hello#post-7 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 12:18:41 +0000 fitler 7@http://www.calitreview.com/forum/ <p>Well I guess I'll be the first to take the plunge. I'm 54, male, and live on the East Coast. I read mostly non-fiction - biographies, current events, art and architecture. I'm hoping to participate in some interesting discussions and learn what other people are thinking and reading. </p>
