For a literary club, we're not a very verbose bunch, are we?

[Carolyn]

Haha no were not :(

[[deleted user]]

I guess we'll have to work on our word power. Perhaps we can form a support group.

[Carolyn]

Noo I know my words and vocabulary its just sonetimes I like to talk silly but I am educated

[[deleted user]]

I never doubted either your intelligence or your education Carolyn. I was only being facetious.

[Carolyn]

Okay lol and I was jk I'm. Not upset(:

[[deleted user]]

Didn't think you were, but communicating through the internet makes me feel obliged to state the obvious being that we can't see each other's body language or hear each other's voices in order to avoid misunderstandings. I'm curious though.... why is your profile so closed? Yes, I peaked. Is your page R rated or are you just a private person?

[Carolyn]

Lol I'm only 13 so it has to b private and I'm new so I didn't authorize it yet and heck know its not r rated

[[deleted user]]

13?! I guess they don't card on Goodreads. Granted, it's a small photo and hard to make out detail, but you look much older in it. So what are you reading lately?

[Carolyn]

Lol I get that a lot and I am reading the Immortal series and I've been having a craving for paranormal lately! U?

[[deleted user]]

Right now I'm reading your messages. In terms of books, I'm reading a book on Tibetan Buddhism and The Sorcerer's House. Wolfe is definitely a writer that writes outside the box.

[Carolyn]

Ohhh I never heard of tht series and cool!

[[deleted user]]

It's not a series, just a single book. A man moves into a house that turns out to be a portal to Faerie. Subsequently, he has encounters in and around the house with various supernatural entities. It's a little unusual in that the story is conveyed in a series of letters from and and occasionally to the narrator.

[Carolyn]

Wow! I gotta go nice tlkin to ya bye bye!

[[deleted user]]

Take care.

Hi Teresa, Carolyn, The face behind the mark, welcome to our group!

p.s. to Craig: I do want to improve my English though. Do you have any suggestions?

[Rama]

Hi all, I'm Rama. Nice to meet you, guys.. :)

I love reading fantasy, and LOTR is really awesome, even the language is really tough to read for me.. X)

Actually now, I'm on progress to writing my story, a classic fiction too.. And I hope I can learn, discussing, with all of you. To take a feedback/opinion, so I can learn improving my writing.. Thanks.. :)

[Carolyn]

Hey guys nice to meet you all!(:

[Kay]

I am Kay, a grandmother, journalist, and animal and book lover who lives in Anchorage, Alaska. Thank goodness for my active grandchildren and dogs (needing walks) or I would spend all my free time reading fiction. Still, I have to frequently remind myself that I am the main character in my own book of life, and what a dreary character I would be if I spent all my free time reading. Luckily there are places such as goodreads, where I can share the rich and fantastical world of imaginary characters that enrich my daily life.

[Vicky]

Hi Everyone,

I've just joined this group and I'm new to all this but I have read a lot of SF & Fantasy books although admittedly I've veered off the genre in recent years. I'm from Nottinghamshire, England. I'm pretty much constantly re-reading Lord of the Rings though and I never pass up a new Alastair Reynolds!

[Saul]

Hi fellow book readers. I'm just south of Nottinghamshire (Leicester) and I try to read as many books in as many genres as I can (through my personal favs are sci-fi and esp. fantasy) I have read all the old-timers like Tolken, Stephen Donaldson and L E Guin, Anthony Piers and try to keep up with the new. Here's my page: http://www.goodreads.com/saul_johnson
I have a short story up for you to read. Tell me what you think.

[Carolyn]

Nice to meet you paul and vicki!!!(:

[Julie]

Hello everyone! I'm an old fantasy/SiFi lover from way back. I think the first fantasy fiction book I ever read (in High school) was The Hobbit. Since, I have read so many more and I am currently reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and I just love it! I was a stay at home mother for many years and then worked parttime as the Librarian of my son's elementary school (k-8). While working at the library I was able to indulge my love of children's and Young Adult's fantasy fiction and read everything. I found new authors like Garth Nix, Eva Ibboston, Lloyd Alexander, Robin McKinney and Phillip Pullman to name just a few.
I look forward to talking about fantasy fiction and Science Fiction with everyone!

[Carolyn]

Imsooo sorry kevin!!! Nice to meet u!!!

[Carli]

Hi Kevin. I admire your persistence. :)

[Julie]

are you kidding me? I write a nice little intro to myself and get no response and Kevin, who I'm sure broke about 4 of the 6 rules to the group, (really? a pop up group rules list?) and he gets a response? What kind of crazy group is this?

nahh just kidding, I thought Kevin was funny, if not annoying at the same time.

[Saul]

Hi, everyone, including kevin above. I loved too 'The Hobbit.'
Did you ever have the feeling that his next works would become so grand in scope and detail and enrich the little,- (people?) joke-, reading bug we all have inside us, more than a few decades later? I did not ether. Tolken played literature as if...he was the harp and we were the tune...
I do have one gripe about new novels, thought.
I understand, that some of us don't take notice of the finer points of literature and communication that tolken did, this one includes myself, no exception, esp. when you have little shelf space to work with. I am talking about, for example, the knowledge and use of slang that vary from district to district, from rich to poor, from community to community, and hell, now, from one website to another, to communicate a simple yet effective individual world model in which we each all live in. We all unconsciously exhibit and convey this information in body-languague and via communication to try and convey to another what our "world" is like, for us, to them, in real time. I think what makes for effective reading material is to convey that in imagination to the reader. The ability to communicate it through to the reader with the sense of depth so that no character is seen flat and without. Tolken even built another languague and seemingly built cultures based on simple observation, of, and, about, small characteristics of the human race. Just my opinon, anyway. Tell me what you think.

[Rama]

Hi Xd, thanks for greetings ..!! NIce to meet you all!! :)

[Carolyn]

Nice to meet you to!!(:

[Kat]

Hello my name is Kat. I am an avid reader, and there isn't anything that I won't read at least once. I've read a wide variety of books so far and I have to say my all time favorite genre is Sci-fi and Fantasy. I just started Brent Week's The Black Prism and so far its amazing.
