About meI like books. I will read most anything but I am always on the look out for a good fantasy novel. Suggestions are always appreciated.
I am one of those weird people who like watching a foreign movie with subtitles or reading a book in the original language (as long as the original language is English, Italian, French or Spanish). Part of the reason why I studied Italian was because one of my goals in life was to read Dante's "Divine Comedy" in the original. Which I did, at the age of 35.
I'm also one of those people who can't seem to read only one book at a time.

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Charles de Lint (Canadian Author - Urban Fantasy) is just amazing and I would have a look at Melanie Rawn if you haven't already (very engaging high fantasy).
Hope you like them both,
Lizzie :)
