Welcome, then! Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 06:47:56 PM
So there it is. My list for 2010, barring a miraculous effort over the next couple hundred pages by Charles Dickens' A Tale Of Two Cities (no, I'm not reading it because Oprah said so; I've had it on my Nook for quite some time). I know that my tastes in "literature" are not on par with most of the avid readers on this site and that my preferences tend to lean towards books that perhaps aren't quite as cerebral as many of the recommendations I see on here. I have read many of the recommendations provided over the years and have enjoyed some, but not others. I make no criticisms with these comments. Just wanting to explain the reasoning for my selections.

I'd like to think we've got a pretty good range of readers here and not everyone is as "cerebral" as you make us sound. ;) And I can tell you for a fact that many of the regulars who do read and review cerebral books, also enjoy and sometimes review books that are much less so. With the Book Clubs and other big discussion threads, we try to offer a bit of everything as well. The main purpose of this site, surely, is to direct people towards books they will like and to let them discuss such books, whether those are "literary" books or not.
I look forward to participating on this site a little more in the future. I am really excited about the 2011 challenges post from last week and shall be participating. Thanks for looking. Look forward to the feedback.

I'm glad to hear so many people are enthusiastic about the 2011 challenges... brilliant idea of Rebekah's, that.
