r/books discussion

Howdy y'all. I'm Wayne. Texas born and bred. Graduating from Texas A&M in a month with a degree in finance, moving to Dallas to work in wealth management.

I don't enjoy any particular genre more than the others, a good book is a good book in my eyes. Recently biographies have piqued my interest for some reason and I'm about to read my first (Walt Disney: An American Original) as soon as I finish A Game of Thrones. Unfortunately I didn't find my love for reading until the end of high school and my college workload has hindered my time to read. But there are many years and many books ahead.

Besides reading I love to cook, placed 4th at the one of the biggest chili cookoffs in the state. I know some self taught programming and enjoy that occasionally as a hobby. I enjoy craft beers, hot tea, video games, tech, netflix binges, cheering on all my Dallas teams, music of most types, and otters.

My plans for the future are to travel and to someday learn to blacksmith.

Soooooo hello, send me some friend requests!

Hi Wayne :) Welcome to the group!

Howdy Wayne. Fellow Aggie here, class of 2011. Nice to meet ya!

Welcome to our book club Wayne! What are you reading now?

I'm currently reading Paper Towns in preparation for the movie.

What do you think of it? I found it entertaining and lovely.

I actually ended up reading the whole thing yesterday. I felt very neutral about it. I didn't get much enjoyment out of it, but I didn't dislike it. I liked Looking for Alaska a lot more and felt there were a lot of parallel themes between the two. I do think it will make an entertaining movie, though.

I've moved on to finally start Walt Disney: An American Original. My first biography
