Hi there guys and gals! My name is Kyle. I am sort of a noob to this reading business, thus the subject line. Most of my life, when filling out online profiles, I was the guy who would enter "what are books" into the "favorite books" section. I just never understood the appeal. Then, one night I went to see the movie "The Hunger Games." I don't know what it was about that movie in particular, but I desperately wanted to know what happened next when it ended. So I bought the first book I can ever remember buying with my own hard earned cash, "Catching Fire." I enjoyed it so much, that I finished the series, and then moved on to a new one, and a new one, and a new one....you get the picture. Suddenly I got it, it was like I belonged to some secret world in which I had inside information years ahead of those who only see the movies. So now I'm hooked. I decided to join this site so I could maybe even get more hooked!
So this is me:
Kyle from New Mexico. I like reading, playing basketball, video games, and watching movies. I am 28 years old, and I just found my first grey hair...very depressing. I'm single, never married, no kids, but I hope for both soon. Maybe some of that "love at first sight" stuff that you only read in books and see in the movies is headed my way. I can only hope. But anyway, this is me. It's nice to meet all of you who aren't me.

Re: Book Noob, Kyle!
Welcome Kyle; don't let yourself be traumatized by being single. I was 26 when I married, and tha was, well never mind, years ago. Neithe of my sons is married, and they are both considerably older than you. My daughter married in her late twenties, and has since presented me with two beautiful granddaughters.
As for reading, better late than never. I started reading when I was five, and have never looked back.

Haha, thanks. I'm not really traumatized by it, but I do hope to not be single for much longer.

Welcome to the community!
Don't worry about the grey hair. With men it makes us look more "distinguished" they say.
