Hello, all

I know there's already an 'Introduce Yourself' thread up on the main page but I thought I'd put one up here in the Cafe as well (so it's just for us book readers). Please take a moment to drop in and say hi, maybe tell us a little bit about yourself....or just tell us what type of books you like to read.

!!

You sound like my daughter! Hopefully she'll be done with school by the time she's 40. She's changed her major a few times, got married, 3 kids, the usual lol.

I prefer Jude Deveraux or Roberta Gellis but them I'm a bit older than you I'm guessing.

I'm Mark - love to read and have been doing so to a greater/lessor degree since the 2nd grade. I blame my mother who used to drop me off at the library as a "babysitter" when I was kindergartner age while she led a Brownie troop! Been addicted ever since (read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in the 3rd grade - was reading at a 12th grade level in the 6th grade - received a certificate for checking out 88 books from the school library in the 8th grade...

) Unfortunately due to time committments - most of my reading now days is a little each night before bed and when I get away on vacation! My main focus is SciFi & some fantasy, followed by thrillers, some horror (gotta love Stephen King!), historical fiction, and military fiction/non-fiction. Some of my favorite authors are Larry Niven, S.M. Stirling, Jerry Pournelle, John Ringo, C.J. Cherryh and Elizabeth Moon to name a few of the top.

Haven't been thru all the postings, but I seem to be the first male - and the eldest member.
Been reading since I was able. Write, too. Much published stuff: novel, plays, stories, essays,
poetry (West and Asian), articles, essays. Originally from New York City - have now lived in Mexico 25 years.
My tastes usually (not always) run to fiction - well-written mandatory. Enjoy well-researched historical, especially.
Beyond "threat of end-of-the-world," will someone define "dystopia" in reference to current fiction tastes?

I've had dystopian explained several times and am still not to sure I understand it but I know who to ask!

Dystopian: The opposite of utopia.

A dystopian society is usually a futuristic one, in which the laws and morals that govern the people within it have regressed to the point of repression or loss of human rights, designed by the author to highlight and explore the flaws in his current society.

Aljons · « **Reply #258 on:** November 19, 2012, 02:37 PM »

Many thanks - absolutely clear now -
Appreciate your response.
Best, Aljons

Aljons · « **Reply #259 on:** November 19, 2012, 02:41 PM »

Funny, really. My new novel, Dorian's Worlds - due out in February - has as its base a dystopian
society. I wrote it without even knowing the type of society had a name.
Thanks, Nina8
