Depends what you mean "really get into reading", but I started reading when I was 6. Guess you could say that I dedicated myself to specifically only classics around 3 years ago.
>Favourite book/literary work
"The Brothers Karamazov" for its passion and ambition, "The Sound and the Fury" for its interesting approach and structure and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" for its great story, well-done magical realism, and how fun it is to follow various generations of a family. I can't pick one out of these three, they share the first place.

25. White male. Currently reading Nostromo, by Joseph Conrad.

I've always been into reading. I read primarily science fiction and fantasy until I was around about 16, and then I started reading other stuff in addition (and also reading better science fiction and fantasy).

My favorite book is Little, Big by John Crowley. My favorite author is RA Lafferty. I write a bit myself but only screwing around really.
