Hi Everyone, I'm Pamela.
I taught myself to read when I was four and I've been reading ever since.
I'm trying to be a writer, by that I mean published, and have been enjoying an online writer's workshop for the past two years so today I thought there had to be a good reader's group online as well.
I'm eager to get to know everyone and hear different ideas and views on some great books. |

Welcome Pamela,
I too want to be a writer and have been reading for many, many years - sixteen at least [I'm 22]. What kind of books do you like to read? I like a lot of things; sports and science not so much. |

I like the classics.
JD Salinger is one of my favorite authors.
Have you read The Perks of Being a Wallflower?
If not it's an excellent book and reminds me very much of Salinger's writing both in style and theme. |

No; the only Salinger I've managed to read is The Catcher in the Rye - for some reason my book shops don't seem to sell Salinger's novels - at least the three I manage to get to frequently enough to buy books.
I also enjoy the classics. I have lots of them! |

I write a little of everything.
I've had a few poems published, like for real published where they pay YOU.
I'm working on literary fiction short stories at the moment because I firmly believe the best way to learn to write well is by learning how to produce a well written short story.
I write non-fiction as well.
Do you write? |

| I do. Lots of different stuff; crime for adults, children's literature, some poetry, short stories - depends on what I am working on and what has inspired me - I'm currently working on plans for a kids novel and working on a crime series - a lull there for now, and a short story to get me out of my rut. |
