6968 Right now I have been re-discovering the classics and have 3 books going.

The Sun Also Rises - Hemingway

The Fall - Camus

The Jungle - Sinclair

I've found the re-reading these books after having lived a little they flourish with nuances I missed, and become less of an intellectual excersise that they were in high school or college.

6968 Just wanted to take a min. and say hello to everyone here.

My name is Jason, I am 31 and currently live in the nutmeg state.

I am mostly a non-fiction reader, however, as of late I have been rediscovering the classics and having a blast doing so.

I have a degree in music, am a pilot, and professional daydreamer.

I look forward to being a part of the group - please feel free to say hello anytime.

~Jay
