    weather has been weird here. Snow and rain and then nothing. A few weeks ago we had weather in the upper 40's. Too warm. Or cold but no snow. I'm from UT.
    I remember you talking about theatre. I had some friends in stage crew. Always related to them more than actors. Russian literature isn't designed for the casual reader I think. I'm not that bad at starting books and not finishing them, but I'm less good with classic literature and short story collections.
    Hunger Games is quite good, I was really impressed with it and another series by the same author for juvenile readers: "Gregor The Overlander." I read most of Interview With the Vampire a long time ago and then skipped to the end...which is a major no, no, but there it is. She's a good writer but at the time I was trying to decide how good of a Christian I was and I still find Louis to be the more sympathetic character in those books, which I'm apparently not supposed to. Queens and Rivals sounds familiar...is that Phillipa Gregory?
    The Leviathan books were great but the 3rd one drags a bit and I think there were some things I might've changed, but Scott Westerfeld had a pretty specific idea in mind for the trilogy and the way it was set up works for him. Hero With A Thousand Faces is a really important book for religion and philosophy. His basic tenant is something called the Monomyth, the idea that all myths, folktales and religious stories are part of a larger story that has evolved from conscious and subconscious fears, desires, aspirations, etc. Wilkie Collins was a contemporary of Charles Dickens, yes. I think The Woman In White inspired him to write Great Expectations. Dickens is a difficult writer for sure. My Mom's bookclub more or less categorically will not read him.

    It will be fun. Don't know how 'emo' I really am, but a fun friend invited me, so, I'll go with it. :) Thanks for the welcome.

    Nothing too much is new with me. Facilities supervisor sounds pretty important, well done! I've never been to Virginia or Ohio. How has your weather been? You write more poetry or more prose, or plays? I remember you're a theatre nerd. I've only read a few russian folk stories. I started The Brothers Karamazov more than once but it's so terribly dense and meandery I don't have a big interest in going back to it. But maybe some shorts by Chekov can get me more in the mood. I do need to read more classic literature
    What non-fiction have you read lately?
    Ummmm...good books in 2011...The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins.

    Hi Solo,
    Though I have been a member for awhile, I have not been active. It's raining here in Sebastopol (California) and I decided to hop on Shelfari. I loved your introductory description of yourself! What pulled me in was your comment about the state of your life and how angst was the base of creativity...I could so identify. Hang in there.

    Hey, just wanted to let you know that I'll be leaving Shelfari for now, just for personal reasons. Also like to apologize for kind of dropping out of the group. :/ You can still contact me if you'd like at buddies@rainbowproducts.com. Sorry again, I feel bad about it...but I can't be on Shelfari much anymore.

    Yeah. Every month or so I go in and add the books and graphic novels I've read but I'm not even involved in the groups that I used to be which is embarrassing kinda. Shitty? How so? What hoppen? I think art comes from life experience generally but obviously it's different for each person. I need to upload some of more recent work. What all have you been doing/reading? Great to hear from you, I miss my shelfari peeps
