About Mika

Although Javi had the idea of introductory posts, I'm going first because he's still playing the modesty card.

So.

I'm actually pretty stubborn when it comes to reading and my "route" was much like everyone else's - from Enid Blyton, Bobbsey Twins, Babysitters Club, Camp Sunnyside Friends, etc., I moved on to Austen, Bronte, Tolstoy, etc. I rarely go past fiction and even there, I stay within the classics and/or the authors I'm already familiar with. I guess you could say i'm skeptical about the newer stuff, although I've had my fair share of them. I'm trying to read more poetry but that's not going too well because the ones my friends recommend aren't readily available in Manila.

This community is going to help everyone a lot in venturing out of our respective comfort zones. As Jaemark said, we're going to have to "fight for our book," so I'm excited about what everyone can haul up :) The important thing is to be able to tackle a wider scope than usual.
