[Quiet Man Cometh]

*Wanders into thread.*

Been eyeballing this place for a while but never really had much to say. Don't really have a lot to say right now but I'm dropping in anyway. :).

I used a read quite a bit but not so much lately, especially since university. I have backlog of reading that I intend to do, some left over from courses that I'm finished with but I insist on finishing some of the books.

I'm a fantasy reader but lately most of what I am liking has been written prior to 1950, some around the turn of the century. I haven't really found a contemporary author that I'm actively persuing at all. I have one Mercedes Lackey book that I thought I'd give a try but haven't started that one yet. My reading pile is currently as follows:

Ysabel, Guy Gavriel Kay
The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky
Tales from Firozha Baag, Rohinton Minstry
Out of Africa, Karen Blixen
The Hobbit, JRR Tolkein
The Silmarillion, JRR Tolkein
Newton's Cannon, Greg. Keyes

I'm sure there are others that I've forgot but these are the ones that come to mind. I may ditch a couple for later seeing as I've only made tiny inroads into the last three. I've never seen any writer as italic-happy as Gregory Keyes.
