"Bluebird"
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

Hey, I'm Mirren. I don't really have a favourite book, nor series.
I like to read the WHeel of Time by Robert Jordan, James Clemens, SHaron Penman, Morgan Llywelyn, Raymond E. Feist, Monica Furlong, Lloyd (?) Allexander, Dan Brown, Harry Potter,The brother Cadfael series, Thea Beckman, Francine Oomen, Simone van der Vlught, Robin Hobb, Diana Gabaldon, enz.
As you can see quite a long list. To read all those books I read a lot! The genres I like most are History and Fantasy and the mixture of the two.
Some books (like Monica Furlong) I have read in Dutch, but are available in English, one day I hope to read those books in their original language because in the translation a lot of details are gone due to them not being possible to be translated.

Name: Kai-Luin
Favorite author: This is a difficult question, but I'm going to choose Sandra Dessen.
Favorite book: I don't have a favorite book, but since I listed Ms. Dessen as my favorite author, I must confess that I cry every time I read Dreamland. And This Lullaby is fantastic as well.
Hobbies: I enjoy reading, music, drawing, surfing the internet, and generally being an anime otaku.

Let's see... my real name is Zach. I'm a high school senior, and for this reason I've had less than ideal time for reading lately. I’m hoping that once all the applications are done I’ll have time, but who can say...
As far as favorite author, I’d have to go with Kurt Vonnegut, but I’ll ready anything (technically, anything good) and I’m always open to new suggestions.
Besides reading, I really like acting and writing. Um, yeah. Good stuff. Not sure what else to say.

Yes. Hi.
My name will just have to be pdmaniac, because I don't particularly like my name on the internet.
For a favorite book, I'd have to say The Stand, by Stephen King. I really got hooked on that book, and finished it too fast for the rest of my classmates to understand.
My favorite author would probably have to be Stephen King, if only for his work on the Dark Tower series. Coming in pretty close after that would be Frank/Brian Herbert, writing the wonderful Dune series. The Dune series is my current passion, and made me miss details on enough assignments.

Hiyooo, I'm Beckers/Foof/Reithe. I'm a bit dull at times, and a bit hyper at types, but always, *always* a sarcastic bum. XD;;
Ich spreche Deutch, aber bin nicht sehr selbstsicher wenn ich rede. T.T
日本語があんまり分かりません。 ；；(= Ａ=)//★
I'm a pretty boring reader, I'm re-reading at the moment (just mindless stuff to get me through the stress of exams x 3x). Anyway. I really like Phillip Pullmann, Piers Anthony, and David Sedaris. Favourite books by themselves are Memoirs of a Geisha, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, His Dark Materials, Me Talk Pretty One Day, A Short History of Nearly Everything, and loads of other random things. > .>
I love speaking in other languages, even if I don't know them very well, or seem to be really shy. I suppose I'm a...high school junior. I live in England, so sorry if I spell things weird. XDD
In short: I'm Foof. Nice t'meetcha, hope you think I'm as cool as I think you are. ^^;

'Allo. Lesse...I go by Phantomette, Leena, and a large variety of other names.
I have no favorite author or book, but my favorite genre is fantasy. If I listed even a few it would most likely be dubbed as the longest post ever made on Gaia.
You should never ask a lady her age. XP
