message 1: by Dustin (new)

Dustin Hello all! I joined GR about a month ago and I have spent way too much time here (mostly at work)! This group looks like a lot of fun, and i'm reading East of Eden right now so the timing is perfect!

My name is Dustin and I have a beautiful wife and 2 perfect kids (2 yr old daughter and 7 mo old son). A few months ago I started riding the bus and train to work so it has been a nice addition to my reading time. I need it to catch up to you all!

I love loud music and collecting vinyl, so the last thing I need is another expensive habit. Oh well, feel free to enable me!

This is a very fun group.
Very addicting, however.

Dustin So, Fiona, that is what my wife should expect? Poor girl!

Darla (sylvanfox) | 573 comments definitely highly addicting. My life has been dramatically narrowed down since finding this site/group.... go to work, come home, check goodreads, read, check goodreads, read, check goodreads, read..... you get the picture.... welcome!! Prepare to be enabled :)

Hi Dustin.
Thanks for joining and posting.
If you thought goodreads was addictive BEFORE...
You are in for a rude awakening!!
You can try to fight it all you want, but it will be hopeless. Are you feeling the pull yet?


message 6: by Dustin (new)

Dustin I feel the pull and I've given in. (Without much fight!)


message 7: by Petra X (new)

Petra X (petra-x) Good! You might find reading isn't so expensive when you get into this group: its so addicting its hard to find time for reading. (Just joking).

Poor Dustin or better said poor wife..if she isn't going to john this group than she will start wondering who we all are, why her husband talks so much about us and why his first thought will be about this group!!!!!!

Enjoy Dustin!!!!!

Laura (apenandzen) ^^Hi Ken!^^

Welcome Dustin, we are pretty friendly, well, when we're not PMS-ing or just generally grumpy. Pull up a rocking chair and come sit. Fiona will keep you company in the random thoughts thread if you're looking for someone to chat with. She usually lurks in there, feathers a-flying, head a-twirling.

Mary | 45 comments Hello Dustin,
Welcome! I'm new to the group too, and everyone is right when they say you will spend a lot of time here. I had to laugh about your opportunity to read on your way to work. I look forward to Dr. visits because I know I will get a chance to read while waiting. And I also love loud music! My kids think it is weird 'cause I'm kind of old. sigh...
