I used to write and read constantly a few years ago, so I thought I'd enjoy studying literature at uni. Big mistake, I haven't picked up a pen or book for almost 2 years now. Once I realised this, I switched degrees to my other interest: Human Movement Studies. That was a year ago and I still haven't read a book through, so I thought I'd come here for some motivation. My favourite authors are: Tom Wolfe Jack Kerouac Fyodor Dostoyevski Truman Capote Eliott Perlman Ali Smith Anthony Burgess Margaret Atwood Pushkin Bukowski Oh yeah, I'm a Salsa dancer. My avatar is one of the lifts in our latest routine.

My username probably doesn't suit a book discussion site, but I like just having one online identity. My name's Josh, so you can use that.

Years ago I was heavily into weight-lifting and very soon I'm going to try to get my fat ass back in the gym.
