Ehm, hello! My name is Kathryn and I'm 23 years old.
I'm from little town in Moscow Region, Russia. But you may simply consider it as Moscow.
Well, It's pretty obvious that I like to read. Also I like horse-riding, fencing and good music. For example something like Ayreon, Poets of the Fall, Enya and old Nightwish. Can't say anything about movies except that I don't like "The Twilight" saga and "Prometheus". And I must admit that my music and reading tastes are strange and unpredictable.
I like the Mass Effect games, mostly the first one. And I'm a big fan of Skyrim.
I studied English for two years, and still have much to improve, so I apologise for any possible mistakes.

Welcome, Kathryn! Your English is awesome, and admittedly better than those I know who were actually born here in America ;)

Thank you, Jack.
My name is Pamela. My previous book club ended because people didn't seem to like to read, so I have turned to virtual book clubs. I love to read. My favorite authors are Jane Austen and Edgar Allan Poe. I have traced my family history for several generations and enjoy reading about my ancestors. Currently, I am a criminal defense attorney. My family consists of two precious dogs who are my world.

I like to read a great variety of books,anything that is well written, but my favorite author is Jane Austen.

Richard Hammond, would probably be good fun to have around.
Or Bob Cooper, the desert survival expert, he could keep you alive.

Primarily, because it was nice to read on the way to work and not fight traffic. Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors too. Which is your favorite book. I loved Pride and Prejudice, but Persuasion was a close favorite of mine. I give my nieces and nephews my favorite books too. I am so happy they are all kids who like to read, because I honestly would not know what to do if they didn't like to read.

Mark wrote: "Hello to both Kathryn & Pamela..... "people that don't like to read?... what strange people!""I know right?! I was floored when they said they didn't like to read as kids. But my bad karma has me in a rural area, so maybe that's it. However, these ladies to volunteer in the community in ways that promote literacy, so maybe they are upset they missed it when they were young. Anyway, nice to meet you.

My husband and I were just down in Florida visiting relatives near Orlando and I have to say I can appreciate how you would think bad karma drove you there. I imagined all of Florida to be sunny and tropical, like Miami, but it was really dry and brown where we were.
I guess my favorite novel by Jane Austen would be Pride & Prejudice because that is what I judge anything else in that genre by (society girls looking for a suitable husband) but Sense & Sensibility is a close 2nd.

I lived in Chicago and San Fran. too before moving here. It's a different world.
On particularly stressful days, I envy the life of women in Pride and Prejudice because they just seem to enjoy the weather and vacation with friends for mths at a time.
