I am an absolute bibliophile. Reading is something that i might not take time for everyday, but has been a part of my life ever since i was very young. Science fiction and fantasy have always been my favorite genres, but i've read some fantastic works in other genres as well, from biographies to scientific journals. I was a member of the Science Fiction Bookclub (through Waldenbooks) when i was 9 years old, and also a subscriber to Dragon magazine. I remember undertaking Tolkien's The Hobbit shortly thereafter, and even delved into such works as Asimov's The Foundation Series when i was still pretty young. I easily become enthralled in a well-developed narrative and realistic characterization, regardless of the genre.

I've finally started The Naked God, the final novel of The Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton.

If you're wanting more info on the books i've previously read, below are some of the most memorable.

I read novels with the utmost pertinacity. I look upon them - I look upon good novels - as a very valuable part of literature, conveying more exact and finely-distinguished knowledge of the human heart and mind than almost any other, with greater breadth and depth and fewer constraints.  --  Patrick O'Brian
