    <about><![CDATA[Its hard for me to describe myself in few words.  I'll try.  I'm weird, I'm a geek/nerd/dork what have you.  I have an overactive imagination, which may explain why I'm not that active physically.  I love words.  I'm laid back and pretty easy to please.  I'm more on the introverted side and am rather private, but I do enjoy getting to know my friends very well and I'll open up after a while.  I love to be loved.<br/><br/>My taste in reading is pretty eclectic though I stay mostly within fiction and  usually read older works, but if its well written chances are I will enjoy it whatever the subject is because I'm interested in almost everything except sports and cars.  ]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[woohoo!  I'm joining.  I've already read 9 of the works you listed on your blog and am well into the 10th (Children of Hurin).  I was wondering something though.  Why not include all of his works?  For me personally I'm adding on: The Road Goes Ever On, The Father Christmas Letters, Finn and Hengest, Mr Bliss, The Monsters and the Critics, and The Lays of Beleriand.  He has also written Smith of Wooten Major, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3049.Sir_Gawain_and_the_Green_Knight_Signet_Classics_" title="Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (Signet Classics) by Anonymous">Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</a>, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo, Roverandom, and The Book of Lost Tales part one and two (I've already read those).]]></body>
