So I am new to this site, and, due to my highly random and unbearably transient mind, I drifted right to this site. Original intention occurs to me with a robotic voice: "find... online... book... club...". SO what do I do?
I find this terrific site and drift into what I find truly enjoyable - the random, unscripted parts!
My hobbies are: fixations on moving to UK or New Zealand to practice medicine - I might accept a two year locums assignment in 2010 to either Scotland or New Zealand, and would be taking my 13 yo son.
Other hobbies are:
-conjuring up plots for my book, of which I have created at least 47 in the past year. But they are good, really!
-traveling (I always feel completely alive starting on a trip)
-PC Games, usually adventure/role playing
-Getting into unbelievably deep conversations with virtual strangers
-Avoiding getting into unbelievably deep conversations with virtual strangers
Some of my favorite books:
- All of Jerzy Kosinski's stuff (not sure why, though he had such a simple voice, with such brutal images he had to describe)
- Recent Books (read or pending reads):
"The Historian" - loved the fact based history mingled with fiction.
"Suite Francaise"
"Codex"
"The Kite Runner"
I grew up in NYC, but live now in a log home in Oregon, and find myself drawn to the complex. I can, at times, be very fantasy based, preferring teen literature with resolved endings, and then I want Eastern Europeans writers (Milan Kundera, Solzhenitsyn) that never resolve anything, leading to tragedy. What I don't read is the more subtle, complex emotional books that other women seem to prefer. Not sure why!
That might cover it for now.
