Welcome to the group Tim, lovely to have you with us!

[Tim]

I like many kinds of books. I love music and sports and books on those subjects are fairly easy to find. I seem to have a penchant for 20th century American authors such as Hubert Selby Jr. ; Cormac McCarthy ; William S. Burroughs ; Charles Bukowski to name but a few.

History, science-fiction, supernatural, philosophy - I am fascinated by the realm of literature which seems to be endless in its subjects. Books about outsiders, underdogs, the isolated and the multitude of those somewhere in between seem to fascinate me.

Thanks heaps everyone.

[Rebecca]

Hi everyone,

I'm Beck from Adelaide.

I've been on Goodreads for a couple of years, but really started to get into it a couple of weeks ago.

I'm into an odd assortment of books -- loooovvveee dystopian (John Marsden's 'Tomorrow' series and 'The Hunger Games' in particular), Stephen King, strong female protagonists generally, Jane Austen, Dickens, crime/mysteries and Harry Potter.

My husband is hugely into comics, so I've been trying to get into them as well. The only trouble is, I generally find superheroes dead boring. So far, I've discovered 'Saga', the Buffy comic and I also like 'Kick Ass'. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!

That's about all for now. Nice to (virtually) meet you! : )

[Bianca]

Hi all. I'm Bianca from Perth. I'm a recovering book snob, although I've been relapsing. I used to read mostly classics and contemporary literary fiction and biographies. In the past 18 months I've read over 200 books mostly in the romance, women's lit genre. Some of my favourite authors are: Tim Winton, Tolstoi, Bill Bryson, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and many others.

I have a few Aussie books on my shelves waiting to be read: Seven Types of Ambiguity by Elliot Perlman, Jasper Jones and Rhubard by Craig Silvey, All That I Am by Anna Founder, A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz.

Greetings.

Thanks Julie. I will sure give JJ another go (I started reading it few years ago, but for whatever reason I didn't finish it).

Hi Sally. Thanks for the welcome.

[Beth]

Hi, my names Beth and my friend Mel has just kindly directed me to Goodreads. We've always been huge book lovers and can't believe both of us were completely oblivious to this wonderful site. I love thrillers, horror, fantasy and lots of supernatural stuff mostly but am open to reading new things and love to find new Australian writers with great books to read (especially undiscovered indie authors with diamonds in the rough). Mel was actually sent to Goodreads by a new Australia indie author on Facebook and she promptly told me all about it. I look forward to meeting new people and getting lots of recommendations for great new books!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Welcome Beth, it's great to have you with us:) Feel free to browse and check the different threads out - you'll find lots to interest you...

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Hi Beth, Welcome...we love all sorts of books here but have a special affection for Aussie authors ;)

[Ace]

Welcome Beth, you will love this group! And welcome to GR too...

[Tracy]

Hi All,
I'm new to the group. My name is Tracy I'm an avid reader and an author of epic fantasy (I've posted about that in the appropriate thread ;-) ) I love reading fantasy - epic, urban, paranormal and also the classics and only a bit of sci-fi. I also take guilty delight in reading historic romances - ye gods did I really just confess that ;-)
Anyway I'm looking forward to being a part of the group.
Cheers.
