Hello everyone,
my fondest early memories are of my grandmother and I reading together. She started me on a wonderful winding journey, don't know what I would do without the written (or binary) word. I enjoy a wide variety of authors from Neil Gaiman, Jared Diamond, Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin, Vaclav Smil to Ngaio Marsh and through genres philosophy, science, mystery, travel, mindfulness, history, science fiction and graphic. Not so much fantasy or poetry but am willing to try again if there is a goup that can help me along. I look forward to catching the next group discussion as it begins. Happy page turning

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the community.

Your grandmother gave you quite a gift.

thanks Dave, I still think of her often even though she died long ago. Awesome site, sorry I won't be joining you reading the Mormons, will wait for the next book to jump in.

We read and discuss new books all the time so join when the right book comes along and you have the time and interest to participate.

Hi Dave and welcome to Book Talk. We are (usually) a pretty friendly bunch, and while we sometimes growl at each other, we don't bite. Don't be afraid to jump into any discussion; you may learn something ... or you may teach US something.
