Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I found this site through wikipedia.com.

I was diagnosed a little over 10 years ago, just after my Grade 11 year of high school. I have a sister and currently live with my parents (looking for a job as a library technician). Hope to get to know you all. :)

I love books and have a wonderful appetite for historical stuff (I was a history major in university).

Welcome Jayne.


OK. Hands up everyone who doesn't love books.

Come on...


There must be someone...


OK. Hands up everyone who has ever found a book they weren't all that strongly partial to...

Welcome Jayne,

What is your favorite History?

Don't be shy, we all have a favored period.

I like things jotted down on mud or stone.

I make books.

"Spellfire" by Ed Greenwood.

I usually enjoy his stuff, but after the characters had fought their third dragon in the exact same location I got a little bored and actually stopped reading it before I finished it. I never do that!

It was a long time ago when I read it, so I may be getting the details wrong, but I distinctly remember everyone killing a dragon in its lair, and then two or three more dragons just flying in seemingly at random to attack them. I was worried that by the end of the book they'd have enough dragon corpses laying around to cut a notch out of each end and make a Lincoln Log cabin out of them.



Hi Jayne! Welcome to WP. I'm new here from Wikipedia myself.
