A new Illumination

[illumination]

Hello!

You can call me Illumination. I am a 28 year old lady living in Michigan. Single. I love the beautiful beaches of Lake Michigan. I am returning to school to get a Masters in School Counseling.

Of course, I love to read. My favorite authors are Lorrie Moore, Jonathan Safran Foer and Mark Twain. I especially like Mark Twain's short stories. Twain's Mysterious Stranger opened my eyes to a whole new world of thought when I was in high school. Lately I've been reading mostly short stories. A delicious thought-provoking snack. I have trouble with novels, which tend to simply consume all my free time until the book has come to an end. And then I want more! There is nothing more bitter sweet then the end of a good book. Racing through the chapters, page after page. Until, suddenly, there is nothing left.

I am trying to read more non-fic, which is why i joined this site. I love learning about religions, and more so, philosophy. I am agnostic, but if the wind blows, I will land on the atheist side of the fence.

Feel free to friend me or ask me any questions you have. I don't want to just meet new books, but new people as well.

I'll be seeing you around!

Hey, welcome to the site.

I picked up a copy of Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad last weekend. I'm looking forward to starting it, sometime soon.
