http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com WWEnd Forum - Off Topic http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=909 Just wanted to test the forum waters to say hello. Long-time SciFi/Fantasy reader, newly minted WWE user. Looking forward to a grand future of tracking and talking about some of my favourite books.
Cheers,

]]> http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=5171 Happy Holidays to all! Whatever holiday you celebrate I hope it's awesome and filled with books!
I got a couple gloriously illustrated books on Japanese prints (Hokusai & Hiroshige) and a hundred bucks in HPB gift cards that I can enjoy for the next few months. I'll for sure have to pick up the next Dungeon Crawler Carl book on audio but I'm not sure what else I'll be reading in the new year.
What bookish gifts did you all score today?]]> http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=679 ...but I'm Canadian, so I'm erring on the side of politeness. ;)
I'm Kat van Loon (first name is short for Katje, which is Dutch and confusing). Reader, writer, knitter, crocheter, baker, Cylon, witch. Massive geek.
I grew up reading...well, everything, but sci-fi and fantasy were my faves. Mom has a huge library (about 10,000 books) and I'm slowly catching up (I've got about 1,000 so far). I'm sort of terrible at writing reviews, because either I love books and ramble like a tumblr-user on a sugar-binge at 2am or I hate them and mock them relentlessly (like a tumblr-user...on a sugar-binge...at 2am). If I feel meh about books I don't bother reviewing. I'm trying to get better, however, and actually working on honing my reviewing skills so my reviews are still entertaining but also more coherent.
Hobbies include drunkenly livetweeting terrible films, shaking my cane at youngsters who are on my lawn, and attending my fiance's burlesque performances, whenever he actually gets off his butt to participate in them. (We are both incredibly lazy.)
User of LibraryThing, Shelfari, and GoodReads. Trying to up my usage of LibraryThing in particular, as it's the only one that's not (fully) owned by Amazon at this point. Anyway, I always like making new friends, so if any of you are on those sites feel free to send me a request. :)
I think that's the pertinent stuff. Happy to be on the site, and hopefully I can add something to the discussions.
-Kat
PS: Is the "reading list" on BookTrackr a "to-read" list? Want to be sure I'm using it correctly, and I couldn't find that particular piece of info in the FAQ or BookTrackr guide.

"A fun, sometimes cleverly-gonzo, and even inspiring tale about an undaunted girl's close encounter of the weird kind." -- David Brin

As most everybody here knows, especially since he's listed as a famous author on this site, Mr. Brin is an American scientist and author of science fiction. He has received the Hugo, Locus, Campbell and Nebula Awards. His novel, The Postman, was adapted as a feature film and starred Kevin Costner in 1997.]]> http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1675
Now that my marriage is past, I think that one of the very best things that could possibly happen right now would be if someone (like the folks who started this site, ) would create, or point me towards an already existing site, that is exactly like this site, except for being focused on crime, detective, mystery and spy novels. Somewhere that I could enjoy my fascination with Sax Rohmer, Sherlock Holmes, Dashiell Hammett, and Ian Fleming the same way this site lets me express my love of Philip K. Dick and so many others.

So, if the site is out there, and my searches just haven't turned it up yet, someone please please let me know.

And if it isn't (yet), well . . . you know . . .]]> http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1076

I discovered this site via Tor.com and I've enjoyed my first year here.

I've read a couple of dozen books (some good, some not so good) and received good recommendations from some fellow members (for fantasy-flavored heavy metal as well as books), written reviews, read the blog, obsessed over the lists, completed a few RYO challenges, and generally have had a very good time indeed.

Thanks to the Admin and the Ubers and the RYO hosts and my fellow members for creating an enjoyable virtual literary retreat. Onward into Year Two!]]> http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1582

For those of you interested, I've just posted a list of favorite non-fiction books on my blog...

Do you have any recommendations?

]]> http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1549 Those of you who can see the fnords know why I am excited about this.

(also, it's good because--yay!---more users of WWE)]]> http://http://www.worldswithoutend.com/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1540
