About me29 year old, voracious reader without enough time to read all I want. I'm a traveler at heart, longing for the days I read ~350 books in ~ one year. I read primarily non-fiction but when pressed, will read almost anything with words.

I added a number of "also on" but if you find an SKingList or a Travellingcari anywhere, odds are it's me :)

About my librarySlowly adding my library: mostly previous reads but some TBR. Add new acquisitions as they arrive. Don't think I'll go back to add everything -- I find myself wanting to review but not recalling sufficient details to do so.

Yes, I'm a King fan from WAAYYYY back. I started reading him on a vacation at the beach one year. And can I just say that reading Cujo alone in a tent in the dark with just a flashlight is a horrifying experience! I stopped reading him for awhile when he started to get a little weird with the whole Turtle thing but came back with Bag Of Bones. What's your favorite one?
"I chuckled when I saw: Raamatullinen vuosi : yhden miehen nöyrä yritys noudattaa Raamattua mahdollisimman kirjaimellisesti by A. J. Jacobs in our shared books. I presume that's "The Year of Living Biblically"?"

Indeed it is. It's the full title (direct translation: "Biblical year : one man's humble attempt to follow the Bible as literally as possible").

It's an interesting book - I thought it would be a fun read, but actually it was a lot more thoughtful than I expected.
Hi dude! Welcome to the dark side!
Welcomewelcomewelcome! It's a whole new way to be obsessed with books!
Since I still haven't found a good way of finding groups (the search never seems to return the group I'm looking for): http://www.librarything.com/groups/bookc...

But it's a GOOD thing that it's hard to find groups, or I'd be spending all my life chatting here with other book nerds. ;)
Welcome aboard! Have fun adding books, or just pottering about. There's an Australian BookCrossers group that I'm sure you'll be welcome to join, as an honourary Aussie. :)
