Lady here coming to you live from the Husker State

[lwillson]

That would be Nebraska for any non-college football fans. I am female as my name dictates and yes it is my real name. Gotta love parents with imagination. I have been an avid reader all my life and am open to most fiction. I don't read series past a trilogy as I get bored with the charters. Some of my favorite authors are: Margaret Atwood, John Barth, Alice Hoffman, Joanne Harris, Tad Williams, Neil Gaiman, Laurie R King and for fun I like to read Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler and Stephen King. Classic authors would be Faulkner, Steinbeck, Austin and Twain. There are others, but can't list everything, it would take all day. I was very excited to find this forum and am looking forward to discussions. I found BookTalk.org on facebook.

Return greetings here from the Lone Star state. Margaret Atwood. I used to read her quite regularly and recall particularly enjoying Stranger in My Grave. I should put her back on The List and revisit a few of her books.

Welcome to BookTalk.org, lwillson.

Is "Lady" or "lwillson" your real name??

I am the same way with series. If they are too long I just don't have the attention to stick with them. The only exception would be W.E.B. Griffon's "The Corp" series and Joel Rosenberg's "Guardians of the Flame" series. They caught my interest enough to read just about all of the books in the series.

"Lady" is my real name.

I will have to give those two series a try. You never know, could be a new author or two.
