Learning the ropes...

I am new to this board and I love to read. I am almost done rereading Harry Potter. I am a theologian and specialise in Old Testament and semitic languages from the ancient world. I love the trivia in here. I was wonedering, if there are any people reading great books and what they might be reading. I really do not want to get involved with another series for a little while because, I really get involved with them. I would like to read Robert Jordans the Wheel of Time sometime. Has anyone ever read this series? Well enough yakkin' and time to get trivaing.

Welcome aboard, Ugaritic. Bookworms could possibly become your future 'haunt' if you read a lot. Yeah, I got hooked on The Wheel of Time until about the 8th in the series, by which time I found it had become boring, repetitive, and disappointingly drawn-out. More about that in the correct thread, however.

Enjoy yourself on the forums!
