      Love reading and writing. Two of my all-time favorites are The Thief of Always by Clive Barker and The Stranger by Albert Camus. Wide range. Wouldn't mind meeting people who share a love a reading.

      Reading is one of my passions...cant wait to talk about some good books. It would be nice to learn how to "sort" the samples out there...

      Sounds great. Although I love The Sound and the Fury I won't be able to make the first meeting. Looking forward to getting the upcoming schedule though, and hopefully meeting you all soon.

      I absolutely LOVE reading and like most of you, I have about a zillion books on my shelf that I haven't read yet. I'm interested in meeting new people as well, since a lot of the people I know, don't even read! =)
