Intro

[AmericanIntelligentsia]

Hello. I decided to look for a forum to talk about books on, and I found this one. As such, now you have to put up with me.

As my username suggests, I am American. And for anyone wondering, I came across "Intelligentsia" reading The Gulag Archipelago by A. Solzhenitsyn.

From what I have seen so far of the community, it seems to be mature; no swearing, or anything of questionable nature thus far. I like that.

Feel free to introduce yourselves in turn. I'll see you online!

-A.I. (My goodness, I just realized my initials are the same as "Artifical Intelligence"! What's that say about me? )

Welcome ... delighted to have you with us.
I've tried reading Solzhenitsyn so many times over the years but he has always defeated me and I normally love Russian writers and poets. I must take him from the shelf again.

Solzhenitsyn's honesty and words cut to the quick. That man's words are powerful.
