I have loved books for as long as I can remember. I was a literature major in college (weren’t we all) and then had to parlay that into a career so I went with law because at least I get to do lots of reading and writing. I joined Good Reads simply because I missed talking about books with other book lovers. I think of it as an enormous literature class. I truly enjoy hearing so many different thoughts and viewpoints.

As I love stories, I am an avid Fantasy reader. I also love Mystery and SciFi (which is certainly not the same as Fantasy, despite how bookstores group them together). I also really enjoy classic literature which is, of course, an ever-evolving, subjective term. Personally, I love the British and American Romantics (by which I mean the literary movements – not the horribly Harlequin romances).

Thanks for posting this one Laura - I forgot how funny that little passage was!
