New Kid on the BookTalk.org Block

Hello, People.

I'm an avid reader of the female variety who lives south of the Mason-Dixon line in the U.S. I found BookTalk.org Googling for an online book club/discussion group. How delightful to find such a wonderful organization.

Once upon a yesterday, I read fiction, fiction, and more fiction -- mysteries and sci-fi. However, my life has changed rather dramatically over the previous six years (during which time my reading diet consisted almost exclusively of professional "stuff"). Now that I have returned to a more balanced life style, I seem to have an appetite for non-fiction: political, cultural, neurobiology, and house/garden handyman print.

Special interests include traveling (Europe, the South Pacific, etc.), gardening, and -- new interest -- figuring out how I can live on a beer budget when I still obviously have champagne tastes. :)

I look forward to participating in some stimulating discussions!

Welcome to booktalk.

If you haven't seen it yet, since you mentioned neurobiology maybe you'd be interested in the current top pick for our non-fiction poll, Evolutionary Psychology

Thanks for the info. I voted for your suggestion. As a matter of logistics, when and how do new people find out if the books they are interested in will actually be discussed in the following months?

There will be an announcement for the selection, probably soon.
