I'm reading The Wish Maker by Ali Sethi, and I just finished Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism by John Shelby Spong. I've just started TWM, but I like it, and Rescuing the Bible is a wonderful book that really helps open your eyes to how Christianity is not one monolithic thing.

those both sound interesting.  thanks.

Hello Hello! I am a new nerdfighter! I love the vlog brothers, and if that makes me a nerd then sign me up! I like reading books, and am actually really excited to have new book suggestions from this site because I'm always looking for good books! I love music and movies and all things that are good.

Well, let's see. My name is Cara and I was introduced by a friend who told me about it and I became interested.

I have been a Theater/book nerd all my life. My dad is a pianist and a singer and I was involved in theater at a very early age and my mom is a major book nerd and I learned how to read pretty much before I learned to walk (well...not really...but something like that). 

Later on, I became interested in cartoons and would watch them endlessly. My favorites have to be Sailor Moon (anime, but still a favorite), TMNT, and X-Men.

I love movies and the like, but at the moment my current obsession is Phantom of the Opera. I mean, I pore of that stuff. Fanfiction, I saw the musical when I turned 13, I own my favorite version of the movie (the 25th anniversary musical with Ramin as the Phantom).  Just.... Ah. I think I annoy people with how much I love it.

I also love history. I've always loved history. It may be a weird thing to love, but I adore reading about history. Historical fiction is my favorite genre of books. And I watch countless documentaries on various historical times.

I don't want to make this too long...so I'm also a piano girl (been playing since 2003), a roleplayer, and I cosplay every year.

Um...yeah. So that's it. ^-^

awesome Cara and welcome to the ning!

i actually have threads on this, but which TMNT & X-Men?

[Cara B]

Hahaha yes. 90s X-Men and I like both 80s and 2000s TMNT. However, I grew up on 2000s and also the live action movies. I haven't watched much of the 80s one because I don't know where to find it.

[Danno]

know how the searching goes. 

and (despite... or maybe because of their increasing corniness) i love the movies.
