Cullen. Pleased to meet you. I read a fair bit, as well. There isn't much to do in barracks if you're not a gambler, and there actually is a limit to how much sword and shield practice a person can manage in a day, so I've been entertaining myself with books since I was a lad. It's very kind of you to help me find something here. The quantity and variety of books available here is a touch overwhelming.
So, things that interest me, then: military strategy, detective stories, great heroes, and ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things. I can read trade and Orlesian, but I'm useless at any other languages. That's a start, anyway.
