I'm brand new to Goodreads and I got right down to joining a bunch of SF related groups. I've been hooked on SF for several years now, and I rarely read anything else. Usually I just grab whatever catches my fancy on the shelf, so I have read some crap (who hasn't) over the years ... but now I am trying to get the classics under my belt.

I have been living in Vancouver for 10 years, originally from Toronto and environs, and I work in the arts and non-profit social agencies. I have had writers' block for many many years but am feeling the faint stirrings of the desire to get some stories down on paper ... one day soon ;D

CJ Cherryh's Foreigner series and anything by Iain M. Banks are my favourites at the moment.]]>
