My real name is Robin. I am comfortably middle-aged. I have been married to the same man for thirty years. And, four dogs share my home with me.

My mother put books into my hands when I was an infant. You know - the kind you can gnaw on. I remember favorite Little Golden Books . I remember reading Nancy Drew by the light of the Christmas tree before anyone else was awake. I do have favorite authors, but the list is so long. I don't read very much Romance or Science Fiction. I have just started reading George R.R. Martin.

I found this site when I was looking for a place where other people loved books too. I cannot imagine a life without books.

Hello Ellington,
Welcome to BookTalk. I'm a native Nutmegger, now living in FL. I joined this site a couple of months ago and am really enjoying it. Jump right in and join some of the discussion. You'll like it.

Thank you for the welcome.

What a bleak life it would be.

Welcome Robin!

I'm not familiar with George R. R. Martin. I spent my high school years in Storrs, which of course is not far from you. I hope you like booktalk. It's one of the most civilized discussion sites on the internet.

Dwill,
I knew you had a touch of New England in you.

Yankee through and through. My two first names are Willard Herbert, for pity's sake, just like my father's. By the way, I'm sorry I have not even yet obtained the Hitchens book (which he refers to as a pamphlet).

Welcome from a fellow book and DOG lover! (I have three, number four on the way in fall).

Thank you for the welcome!

My doggies are all rescues. They include a 110 pound Malamute/ German Shepherd mix, a 30 pound Cairn Terrier, and a 12 pound miniature long haired Dachshund and a 6 pound teacup Chihuahua that came together as a set. It's a lively household.

I have never participated in a forum before. So far, I am enjoying myself a lot. I think that it is amazing that I am talking to you who lives in Bavaria. I joined the site to see what other folks are reading - and what they think about what they are reading - and maybe add my two cents.

I have three dogs, an American Eskimo, a Bichon and a Shitsu. Two of them are rescues.

Oblivion, have you heard of a small town in Bavaria called Aub? I have family from there.
