So it's me, Dawnsky. I finally got an account after a year and a half! YAY!!! Most of you already know me, but I thought I'd post a few things about me here just to make it official.
1. Reading is my favorite thing on earth. I love all kinds of fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, and realistic fiction novels and series. I have read, enjoyed and sometimes reread around 300 novels in my lifetime. The best series I have ever read is Harry Potter.
2. I love music. I have played the piano for eight years and the viola for four. I also sing in my church choir.
3. I am very shy and quiet and slow to make friends, but once I do I love to talk.
4. I don't actually spend a lot of time watching TV, playing video games, or browsing the Web. I usually spend no more than an hour a day doing only one of those things. Between homework and my parent's rules, I just don't have time to be on longer. This forum is the first I've followed and registered on.
5. I want to be an author, but I'm not sure I have the talent. If I was an author, I'd want to write fiction and/or poetry.
6. I don't swear, use crude language, or enjoy being around those who use it. I also try to be honest with everybody and I don't do the sorts of things that would get me into trouble. I'm kind of the goody-goody type.
If I think of more stuff to add I'll add it and let you guys know! I'm so excited I finally get to be a member on here!

Mod Blackbolt: Yes, I've read Lord of the Rings, but I really need to read it again because I've forgotten most of the plot. snowfeather: I really like instrumental music, especially classical. I also like some 1980's music. I don't like much of the popular music these days, though.

Woo, fellow Potterhead! //high-fives//
I am a total bookworm. If I have a good book, I will read it instead of computer, internet, schoolwork, chores, sleeping, eating, and showering. The problem is, I'm a bit picky about writing styles I like, so I rarely ever have a book to read. You can only re-read a book so many times- I've re-read each Redwall book about 28 times (they're still as exciting as ever) but the author died a few years ago, so there's no more books. A couple weeks ago, I got two new books from the library that I read while we were visiting relatives. The Sun Trail and Mark of Athena (Percy Jackson). MOA was a large 587 page book with small print, and I read it in a day between the annoying family activities we were doing. The Sun Trail was read in one night. If I had enough books, I probably wouldn't stop reading!
Guess we have a few things in common: I'm like your for 1, 3, 5 and 6.

Seriously! You have never heard of Don Quixote? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote"Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published."

*tisk* *tisk* *tisk* It is better than many modern novels out there now (people today are still using elements from his story, Cervantes (the author) is pretty much the father of modern literature), I would highly suggest reading a translation (unless of course you can speak Spanish). The translations are not always accurate and cut things out but the stories he implements make the story much more lively.

shade: Yeah, I'm like you. I will also forgo life for a good book. When I finally get a book that I've been waiting for for ages (like the Last Hope when it came out), I hole up in my bedroom and don't come out for hours unless I have to go to school or something. However, I'm not at all picky about the writing styles I choose. A book just has to be fiction (preferably sci-fi or fantasy), have a decent plotline without copying off of something else, have believable characters that have depth, and be engaging for me to like it. Because I'm so flexible, I've read so many books I can't keep track of them all. Mod Blackbolt: Well, since I don't speak Spanish, I'll just add the translation to my list of 70 or so books to read or re-read. It'll probably be a while before I get to it.
