    Hello, all!

    I am here, because simply put, I like reading. I read a ton, more than almost anybody I know, and I love almost all genres of book.

    I have all of my books cataloged on my computer, and I found that I have about 450 of them, not including audiobooks and ebooks.

    But really, I love reading because of the characters; they become like friends. It always feels good to reread a favorite book, because it's like catching up with an old friend. :)

  • Favorite Subjects

    School subjects? Science, Philosophy, Mythology, Creative Writing, Mathematics, etc. Really, everything.

  • Favorite Genre Of Reads

    scifi-fantasy

  • Favorite Quote

    "Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow."

    - "Fred," from Diane Duane's first Young Wizard book.

    "For faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see."

    - Hebrews 11:1

  • Favorite Authors

    Diane Duane, J.K. Rowling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Douglas Adams, Cornelia Funke, C. S. Lewis, Carolyn Keene, Lemony Snicket, Eoin Colfer, James Blish, and many others.

  • Favorite Recent Reads

    Heehee, I've been recently reading the Star Trek episode adaptations by James Blish. :D Those are good. Also, I'm rereading the Keys to the Kingdom books, and those are fun as well.

  • Best Book To Film Adaptation

    Oooh... Erm... The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, with Jeremy Brett playing Holmes. I liked those, and they seemed pretty close to the stories and books.

  • If I could be any character I'd be (and why?)

    I wouldn't be any of the characters I read about... I'd like to be friends with them, but I don't think I'd ever sacrifice my memories and experience to be a completely different person. I'd like to have some of the abilities that my favorite characters, like magic or other helpful things.

  • If I was stranded on a desert island and could only bring 3 books, I'd bring

    And instruction manual for how to get off of the island, a Bible, and a sketchbook/notebook. If I wasn't allowed the instruction manual, I suppose I'd bring either The Complete Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy or The Complete Sherlock Holmes.
