Hello, it's been a long time since I joined this group but I never formally introduced myself. So, I'm Arefin, living in a small country named Bangladesh. I love to read books and discuss about them. I'm 23 years old and studying Banking in a local university.
Welcome all. Glad that you have introduced yourself now.
Hi I'm Christina, from Long Island NY. Just finished up my Master's in Publishing and Creative Writing in London...Reading a good book is my happy place :)
Welcome Christina, well done on the masters.

I used to live in Kingston when I worked at the hospital.. Beautiful town.
Hello all! I'm Summer from Tennessee, USA and I just joined Vipers because this looks like a fun group. I joined my first gr book group 2 months ago and now I'm looking for others so I can get into more monthly book discussions and I'm looking forward to reading Quiet by Susan Cain with you all soon. :)

Welcome to you all. This is a great group
Hi all, I'm Cara from NSW Australia. I'm a student.I found and joined this group after I read August 2014s Fiction Book!

Welcome to the group Derek. There are some really good grip reads here, finding the time to read them all is tough.

Hi,I'm Allison, I live in Australia and love to read. I also spend far too much time lurking on MN!
Welcome to Derek and Allison. I'm a bit of MN lurker too, mainly on the book threads of course!
Hi, I am Tytti from Finland. I found the group via the discussions of The Master and Margarita, I really want to read that one day. I noticed that you are currently reading Anna Karenina, too, I've read almost half of it now, trying to finish it next. Unless I get distracted with something else of course...
Hi Tytti, welcome to the group, I have just started Anna Karenina. How are you finding it?
Thanks, Paul, Jason...Even though I started it months ago and haven't yet finished, I actually like it and at the moment it's one of the few 5-star books for me. It's not even that hard to read but because it is quite serious and full of information and I know it will get sadder, I keep picking up easier books to read. And because they are shorter and easier to finish than my 999-page copy of AK, I end up reading them... Now I try to stop myself from starting The Great Gatsby, only 220 pages. :D It would be my second classic from the 1920s this year with a couple of mysteries also from that era.
But I do wonder how people not that familiar with Russia during the 19th century will find it. For me even the stuff about peasants and agriculture is quite interesting because I am interested in history and have even read one (or two?) books about Russian history in addition to what we studied in school. (And of course Finland was a part of the Russian Empire at that time, though our society was much different because of the autonomy.)
Hi, noorilhuda here, currently living in Pakistan. Just released my e-novel. Read Anna Karenina last year. I think it's best feature is the depiction of Russian society, it's facets and contours. Also the easy writing style of Tolstoy is something to learn from. The affair and it's repercussion is something to be expected - women of all ages have paid for going against the norms, in fiction and real life.
Hi Noorilhuda, welcome to Book Vipers
Hi I am Ella, from Iceland. I am new to the group (thank you Paul for telling me about it!)I am almost always with a book, my Kindle or my knitting/sewing things in my hands. In my free time I am a Radiographic Technologist, lol...
Looking forward to reading with you :-)
