[Nora]

Hello everyone, My name is Nora.

I am Chinese and I'm going to Sydney for studying in a few months.

I enjoy reading about human thoughts, about psychology. My favorite book is The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky. I also read poems, I like Rilke, Poe and Baudelaire, but mostly I read them in Chinese.

I started to read in English recently, as a way to improve English and at the same time enjoy reading itself. I am not capable in reading some great works which I used to read in Chinese with the limitation of my English vocabulary, so I started with plays, scripts and children's books. Although they are written in very simple language, I still find them interesting and sometime even thrilling, I guess that's the magic of language.

Anyways, I am excited about going to Australia and meeting Aussie readers! Hello again to everyone, hopefully one day I can read the same book as you guys read in English( probably will take a long time but I am optimistic about it)!

Hi, I'm Carolyn. I currently live in Sydney but hail from Perth. My favourite genres are crime, sf and historical novels as well as good general fiction. The Aussie book I most enjoyed reading this year was 'The Light Between Oceans' followed by the 'Rosie Project' and 'I am Pilgrim'. I've also heard a lot of good reviews of 'Burial Rites' and have it sitting in my TBR to read over the Christmas break.

Hi fellow Aussies & honorary Aussies,
I'm L J Grandi,a loud, proud Aussie chick! I live in the Central Highlands of Victoria, Australia and I'm stoked to see an Aussie group here on goodreads! I've just published my first book, Who Is Davis Spanx? woohoo - it's sooo Aussie it's even got an Aussie slang glossary at the front so all my international readers will pick up the lingo quick smart! I love reading a broad range of genres, of both Aussie and international authors. Matthew Reilly is a fave author, and so is Marian Keyes. The only thing I don't read is gory, murdery stuff, I reckon there's enough violence in the world already, oh and I'm not a fan of sci-fi either.I recently read The Perfect Wife, by Aussie author Katherine Scholes - it was a great read.I spotted the Aussie quiz earlier, so I'm now gonna see how I do with that! Catch ya later! Who Is Davis Spanx?

Welcome LJ, great to have you with us. If you'd like to start your own thread here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group... so that you can promote your work, that would be great. Have a browse through the author section, which is "your" place;) It's best not to promote in the threads which are devoted to reading, so starting your own thread (and getting yourself added to the list of Aussie authors too) is the way to go:)

Welcome LJ, Melissa and Carolyn

Thanks Joanne & Michael - hey Michael, I'm a self confessed bibliophile, if I don't have a book to read I get dazed and confused, too much reality can't be good for you!!
