    <about><![CDATA[I've been an avid reader all my adult life. I read very little (that wasn't school-required) until I was about 17 and took a science fiction &amp; fantasy lit course in my final year of High School. I recall the teacher giving each of us novels to read and report on. We didn't all read the same books (some short story assignments were the same) but he had several boxes of books in a back room that he pulled novels out of and sort of gauged each of us as to what we might like. I remember reading <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5057689.Slan_A_Novel" title="Slan  A Novel">Slan  A Novel</a> by A.E. Van Vogt and <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/941784.Beyond_The_Farthest_Star" title="Beyond The Farthest Star">Beyond The Farthest Star</a> by Edgar Rice Burroughs. That's when the reading bug bit me and wouldn't let go. In fact, I went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in English and American literature and language even though I originally thought I would major in business computer systems. I'd like to write a book one day. (More to come)]]></about>
