Nice to meet you everyone :)Well, I am Mahdi. I am 29.
I like to read a variety of topics and have a habit of switching between history, politics, autobiographies and classics...
My favorite Algerian author is Mouloud Feraoun. My favorite non-Algerian author is Leo Tolstoy. “War and Peace” is my favorite novel, and probably the longest novel I read. What I love about it is the great mix of history lessons, philosophy, spiritual journeys of the characters and study of the human soul and condition.
I am here to discuss books, cultural matters and secretly to get motivated by you guys :)

Hi guys. My name is Slimane, I'm 21. I can't really decide on a book but I could tell my favorite authors instead. I really enjoy the works of Dostoevsky, Kafka, Mishima, Khalil Gibran, Nobakov, and David Foster Wallace. I also enjoy reading non fiction to a less degree. I joined this group a while back, the reason is I guess self explanatory. Anyway, I really appreciate the initiative of making this group great again.

Let me know when you start reading it, if time allows I will do a re-read it with you. His other short stories are also great.. I suggest the death of Evan Ilych or Hadji Murat..

Hello <3 <3 My name is Wafa and I'm 26 years old. I am a university student and an office worker, that's why I don't have much time to read (Aaaagh the real life and the responsabilities).Well, I can't decide what's my favorite book, I have a few in my "favorite" list, either because I find the book perfect or because I relate to one of the characters (check them !!).
Why I joined this group? I did when I first used goodreads (a year and a half ago) to get me motivated to read. I hope it will be lively here <3 <3

Hi, my name is khadidja, i'm 26 years old. working full time in a laboratory, i'm also an author, i published two poetry/short stories collections (dm me if u want a pdf copy) My favorite genre is fantasy, and my favorite book is Six of crows.

Yes, of course Yasmine. I will try my best.
Mod
Khadidja, Welcome! Sounds amazing! More success inshaa’Allah!
Hi everyone. I'm Malak and I'm 18.
I mostly read dystopian novels, fantasy and mystery/thriller. I don't really like reading non fiction but I guess I haven't found THE book that makes me like this genre.
My favorite book is a real emotional rollercoaster. It's "Here lies Daniel Tate" by Cristin Terrill.
I joined this group cause I needed some friends that liked reading so we could discuss our love for books.
Mod
thank you. And i'd really like to participate, it'll motivate me to read something new, so i'm excited to see what's this month's book.
Hello everyone, my name is mina and I'm 32, which makes me your senior hhhh I'm an English teacher and my favourite books are Agatha Christie's And Then They Were None, Bram Stoker's Dracula, (all the books written by Jane Austen, and the Harry Potter saga.
I joined this group because being probably the only bookworm in my entourage makes me feel a bit left out at times, and did I mention that I read practically all the time!?? Yeah, i do, even at parties and weddings, if you can believe it hhhh
Sooo, a big HI to you guys (^_^)

Hello Mina. I know the feeling of being the only bookworm :'( so I'm glad there's something called "Goodreads" in this world <3

Hii , I'm Nesrine 22 years old , I don't have a favorite book (it's hard for me to pick and this is not fair for the books I read and the ones I didn't read .I enjoy reading anything psychological or philosophical because that what helps to grow as a person , and so I read every genres because they all include psychology (of characters ) and philosophy of life . now I had a terrible memory and the only way to remember is through discussing a work with ppl , and the most fascinating thing is when each and everyone of us will have a different interpretations and point of views of the same work .
The rules are this:
1. Tell us some basic information about yourself for example: your name, your favorite book and what do you like to read! .... etc
2. Share why you join this book club and what you hope to achieve
ME first, I think you already know me by now (the abnoxious very talkative person.. No?)
well my name is Leila, and I am a 22 year old girl, trying to do her best to serve you guys!
My favorite book: are the one that I thoroughly enjoy, for example: Jane eye by Charlotte Bronte, this novel gave the great example of an oppressed women and then liberating herself to achieve her goals in the Victorian age. and I just relate to the character Jane as I find her of great inspiration.
As to why I joined the group it was to meet you guys and make new friend, I literally needed to sharewith you this profound sentiments of loving books and obsessing over reading them!
