How would I go about participating in this book club?

I'M SORRY. I used to be a butterball, but then I started biking everywhere. Now, even though I don't exercise, I cannot gain weight. I hover between 170 and 180lbs, depending on how much of what I ate ten minutes ago. Sadly, I can't gain muscle either, so I'm a giant string bean...

Humorous or serious? Both. Literature needs levity, but it also needs a sense of realism. Descriptive or minimalist? Good description can be minimalistic. Description shouldn't take pages and pages. Nor, of course, should it be lacking. Character or plot driven? To be perfectly honest, I...

Cinnamon Toast Crack. I mean, Crunch. It's splendid, full of whole grains, and tastes wonderful. Whether dry, or in a nice bath of milk, it's the perfect snack. Or these chocolate chip cookies my daughter's mom makes? Holy heaven in a biscuit. They're small, and always soft, even three days...

Go ahead! That's actually my preferred handle, but there's a long story there that doesn't bear retelling. Anyway, I'm in GMT-6, US Central Time. If that helps anything...

Thanks for the welcome, and the cryptic (mad?) insight into the interesting-ness of my fellow members. It was...enlightening. :)

Not sure if I can jump in here, but I'd love to help out reviewing books and whatnot...I know I'm new to your wonderful community, but I'd like to contribute, and this is right up my alley.

Righto. Been trying to find an interesting community to help keep me on track with this project, seems I found it. My name's Lance, I'm 19, full-time dad, part-time cook/clerk at a Casey's gas station. I enjoy high fantasy, low fantasy, sci-fi, historical and military fiction, and any...
