I've already posted, so I guess I ought to introduce myself.

My name's Henrik. I'm fourteen and I live in Norway. I pretty much only read fantasy, though I'm going to try some new genres when I'm done with the Lord of the Rings.

You're probably wondering how I discovered this page at all given the above information. Truth is, my English teacher showed it to me along with the Fight Club movie (which made me want to read some of Chuck's work).

I also write a bit, although I'm decent at best.

Long story short: Hi!

Welcome. It still blows me away that youth around the world are being taught Fight Club in English class. Very cool.

I also switched from fantasy over to Palahniuk. You ever read Robert Jordan?

Nope. All in all I haven't read very much, I suppose. Not all authors get their books translated to Norwegian, and I only recently started to read English books (we're talking about months here).

If you highly recommend him, though, I'll look into it.

Hi Henrik, and welcome!

Your teacher sounds great. Did he/suggest which Palahniuk to read first? If not, let me suggest SURVIVOR. It's excellent and will be fairly easy to read in English.

Yes, Survivor is a great book!

Robert Jordan has some long winded sentences, but his stuff blows Tolkien out of the water (in my opinion).

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.

Aushatch, I've always wanted to read The Wheel of Time! Survivor also sounds good. Now I suddenly have a heap of reading to do in the future, and for that I thank you.

Hello and Welcome,

How do you feel about being named after a Swedish hero?

Greetings from Ireland

*Gasp*

Barca Boy, I'm not named after a Swedish hero as far as I know. Henrik is a quite popular name in Scandinavia, and means "Lord of the Home."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik for further information.

Don't feel bad about Victor (Don_Lyabb) hating you, Henrik. Smile

He's a Swede...
