I'm new. Hello.
Howdy. I'm a kiddo from Israel, 14 years old. I pretty much heard of Mr. Palahniuk through the Panic At the Disco song. Sad, I know. That was... one year, two years, three years ago? Can't remember. I only got into reading recently. This year, actually. After I heard The Catcher In The Rye (From my own will). From there I moved towards Catch-22, Slaughterhouse-Five, As I Lay Dying and more stuff. Somewhen I looked up Palahniuk again and when I discovered he wrote Fight Club I got interested. I didn't watch the movie back then, but I heard of it. I decided to read the book. Had to buy it because no Palahniuk is in our library (Bad selection they got for English). I read it, loved it. I got hooked on it. I also saw the movie after reading and enjoy the soundtrack. Right now I'm reading Choke. Bought it two days ago (After I've convinced my mom, since one time she didn't agree. Haha).
Whoo, that was long. Ok. So, I'm normal, I guess. I read mostly novels in English. Stuff I'd like to check is more Vonnegut and Heller, and see what Easton Ellis can offer. I'm also an Anime fan, mostly of cute ones. I love music. A lot of it. Oh, and -haha!- I have no one around who reads in English. It's pretty annoying.
Everything I wrote can be summed up in this: "I'm new and I hope you accept me and stuff."
That is a pretty impressive list for a 14 year old kid, let aone reading it in a second language. You didn't like Catcher in the Rye did you? I hope not, that book stunk to high heaven!
you booger off, nate! holden caulfield rocks!!
.

Fer real!
Actually, I love Catcher In The Rye. It's pretty much my favorite book for now. And I'm not saying sorry for it (But I sure don't plan to make it one of the novels I'll ever read. I want to read more stuff).
So, I was born IN Israel. But I'm NOT Israel. Maybe using graphics will help:
Skinnee born in Israel
Skinnee is not Israel.
Skinnee is not in Afghanistan.
Skinnee is real.
Yay.
Now, I'm in the English speakers (Although I still find it hard. Bleh). I seem to just be good in English. It's my second language... I just practiced it, I guess. Basically everywhere in the internet, I need English. Plus reading translations stink. It's pissing me off, kind of.
what.
whut
what?
In the butt?
you wanna what?
alright, knock it off, assholes!
14 and normal spelling!
Welcome!
I want to be your medicine
I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
Okay, i like this new one. (S)he made me laugh.
I can't imagine that I would allow Gwynyth to read Palahniuk in 4 years. I probably would have read it at that age but my mother didn't monitor what I was reading.
Jay, your English is great - welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here.
Good coffee is like drinking Rock and Roll.
My mother monitors my reading only a bit.. No Clockwork Orange for now. Damn.
Jay, are you male or female?
I realize now that I was reading things like you were when I was your age. Your list is really impressive. Especially since you're reading as a second language. I hope you continue to love reading throughout your life.

I'm male. I just love cute Animes, that's all. Pretty obsessed, hehe.
I think I'll at least like reading throughout my life. Already now I want to explore the world of literature. So I guess in a few years, even if I'll stop reading, I'll like the stuff I like now.
Hiya!

You seem to be pretty cool compared to some of the other knuckleheads that have been joining up lately but after a little while we are going to have to have a serious talk about getting a better avatar.
Glad you're here, Jay, now get out into the rest of the forum!
Too, stay out of the Dress Down Thread, lots of man bits in there and no place for a lad of your age.
i wish i could have those 10 seconds of my life back.
Hiya Jay and welcome to these here parts. Sad to say I know hardly anything about Israel, stick around and tell us some tales of your homeland.
There are no pacts between lions and men.
Hello Kiddo from Isreal
Im Derek and you are welcome. You have nice taste in books already. Speaking of Israel I read a book last year called De Niros Game, it was based there and really good.
Have a good wander around the Cult theres lots to do.
