Hello and salutations, my young padawan.

Glad you made it at last, but dont forget to post that letter, lest my efforts be for naught.

Intro

Post by seraph7 »

Hi everybody,

My name is Yoon-Lin although I go by the nickname of seraph7. I'm a 47 y.o. Chinese male from Malaysia at the moment working in Nigeria (gosh this sounds so much like the start of an AA meeting :D . Anyway, I'll just follow the guidelines given by `gong' and run through them:

1. My favourite genre is Fantasy, followed closely by Scifi of the cyperbunk type. I'm also not averse to chiclit and urban paranormal romance. I also like Westerns which was what led me to this forum.

2. I have no favourite author save the author who wrote the most meaningful book in relation to a certain period of my life. For example, Enid Blyton during my formative years, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Chaim Potok ( The Chosen ) when I was in my 13's, Patricia Nell Warren ( The Front Runner ) in my early teens, Agatha Christie, William Gibson ( Neuromancer ) in my late teens, Neal Stephenson, R.A. MacAvoy, Mercedes Lackey, J.T.Edson, Isaac Asimov, David Eddings, the list goes on...

3. Ditto 2.

4. Why I chose my member name ... I don't really know, except that I have this thing about the mysteries of life and of Godhood, and somehow, it just feels right. And no, I'm not a Christian, neither am I a Chinese Jew.

5. I found IBDof while googling for Oliver Strange's Sudden series of book titles, hoping to come across a veritable vault of his books in ebook form.

6. One book I would never recommend to a friend,...Xaviera by Xaviera Hollander :mrgreen:

7. Top 5 books or series : Weeelllll.....Hmmmm....

Okay, (i) LOTR Trilogy - J.R.R.Tolkien
(ii) The Chosen - Chaim Potok
(iii) The Wraethru Trilogy - Storm Constantine
(iv) Damiano's Lute - R.A.MacAvoy
(v) Dragonsinger - Anne McCaffrey

Well I guess that's about it. Hi :angel:
