Please read BEFORE posting in the "Introduce Yourself" forum
This forum is a friendly place for new members to say hello to the BookTalk.org community. We love meeting new members and hope you take a few minutes to tell us a bit about yourself.
Are you male or female?
Where are you from?
What are your hobbies or special interests?
What sort of books do you enjoy reading?
How did you find BookTalk.org?
1. Do NOT make an introduction post if you have no intention of interacting with us If you introduce yourself you'll be greeted by BookTalk.org members. We get excited when new people join and we take our time to give them a warm welcome. But if you don't plan to respond don't introduce yourself in the first place.
2. Create your own introduction thread It is rude to make your introduction in someone else's introduction thread.
3. Use a descriptive subject line for your introduction thread A subject line shouldn't simply be "Hi" or "My Intro." Try something unique. It is always good to use your username in your intro thread title.
4. If you're an author or publisher do NOT tell us about your books in this forum We have forums specifically for suggesting books, and this is not one of them. If you spam this forum your account will either be deleted or banned.
Authors & Publishers that would like to share their books with BookTalk.org members and visitors have several options available. For maximum visibility consider advertising on BookTalk.org.
If you're brand new to forums you might want to read our FAQ page.

Ni Everyone
My names is Nilesh, I'm 23, from west London
I like reading a wide range of books, fiction and non fiction, crime, conspiracy, comedy, adventure, horror, crime....
its a long story how I came across BookTalk, so if you cant be bothered to read it, don't worry bout it lol!
I'm partially sighted and was looking for audio books, or Braille, because although I do read a lot of print books, I have to use phat glasses which give me a headache after a while......anyway, the NLB website I was looking at had a link to BookTalk, and as it happens, I was looking for a reading group or book club to help me motivate myself to read more.
I chose BookTalk because it covers a wide range of books, fiction and non fiction, the people look cool, and there seems to be enough of a time period to read the book and discuss it!
however, is there a way to find out what book is going to be discussed next, so I can get hold of it in advance?
other boringness about me I have a degree in creative music technology and computing, and I'm currently working on an online gift shop.0 i like music production and DJn, and most other types of creative media. (sound editing, video editing, image manipulation, web design, graphic design, etc etc....) I want too write a book before I die ...uhhh I duno I think I've board you enough

Re: MR Mistry
Nice of you to drop on by MR Mistry. We do have a large range of books discussing in this website. If you go to view active topics and there is a discussion on what our next book talk is going to be. Right now it is The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel Haruki Murakami and ALONE: Orphaned on the Ocean Richard Logan & Tere Duperrault Fassbender. My mother has glaucoma (disease in the eye) and uses the audiobooks a lot herself. She just loves them. Hope to see you in the discussion forums.

Re: MR Mistry
Thank you, I will go ahead and get the books now.
that's interesting, I also have congenital glaucoma in my left eye, and an artificial rite eye, audio books are good sometimes, now and then tho I like to read a print or Braille book and be able to imagine the voices my self if that makes sense.
Is there a way to save posts, I've been reading a lot of interesting creative writing articles on this forum that I would like to keep for future reference?

Re: MR Mistry
Hi Everyone
I no it seems like I signed up to book talk and got board quickly and left, but that's not the case, I was in hospital for a wile, then was busy looking for a new job, and a bunch of other boringness,
I'm back now, and intend to participate in the book discussions as planned.
While I was in hospital, I read the non fiction book predictably irrational, I see that the discussion for it is still up, even though it says it ends in august, should I post my discussion input while its still up, or just ignore that and start discussing the new 1?

Re: MR Mistry
Welcome back. I'm glad to see you're out of the hospital now.
You would need to copy and paste posts that you like into a word processor like Microsoft Word if you wanted to save them. Then again we don't delete posts so if you can bookmark a link to the posts you like then you don't have to save anything other than that link.
As a general rule we leave our book discussion forums up as long as people are actively discussing the books. If a book discussion period ends and then there are no more posts for a month we'll stick that forum down in the archives. But if people are showing an interest in still discussing a particular book that book forum will remain out in the open. Once book forums are placed in the archives they are still open for reading and comments.
