"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[joost]

Hi,

I'm Joost, from the Netherlands. I found out about Robin Hobb in 2001, when my brother gave me several books, because I was living in an apartment without TV or internet connection at that time, so I had plenty of time to read. Among those books was 'Assassin's apprentice'. I was immediately hooked, and the other two Assassin books and the Liveship traders trilogy followed very quickly. And now, whenever a new Robin Hobb book is published, I will buy it, preferrably the English version, because I prefer reading books in their original language.

Other writers I enjoy: Mary Gentle, George RR Martin, Clive Barker. I also like graphic novels, eg by Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, or Bill Willingham.
