I am new to the site, and thought i should introduce myself. I was searching for an example of Coleridge's poetry yesterday, and found the site. Further exploration revealed the forums, and I went "cool! A message board for people who like to read!" and joined.
I'm a college student living in Boston, and I was first introduced to literature through my mother's sci-fi/fantasy addiction. my options were to hate or love books, and I wound up doing the latter.
