			<link>http://booktalk.yuku.com/topic/742/t/Newbie-medmo.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hello all. Very good to find this site. I hope you can forgive me using a screen name. Medmo is much easier than trying to add something to my real name, Matt.<br>
<br>
I'm a physician in Alabama, which puts me in a particular type of company most of the time. I think physicians tend to be intelligent but moderate-conservative. Alabamians tend to be conservative. That tends to make my surrounding colleagues even more conservative than they might be elsewhere, leaving me in a rather unique... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ New member here. I'm still familiarizing myself with the site, and thought I'd sign up in the meantime. I'd like to get involved in the book discussions, but I'm a bit selective in what I read and I'll have to skip the current selections. There were some good choices in the past though, I like to read in a wide range of topics in science, history, philosophy, etc. I'm a little behind the times, so currently I just got around to reading Pinker's The Blank Slate. <br>

I'd consider myself... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I am a &quot;newbie&quot; to both book clubs and online forums, so hopefully I will learn quickly. I'm not really sure how I found this site &lt;definitely supports the &quot;newbie&quot; concept&gt; except that I have recently been surfing sites dealing with separation of church and state, history of religions, mythology, etc.<br>

I was raised Protestant, went to church every Sunday,  sang in choir, was active in the youth group, etc. But I remember even while... ]]></description>

			<link>http://booktalk.yuku.com/topic/752/t/G-Day-I-m-HalfTruth.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Hey all,<br>
<br>
Goddamn it's taken along time for me to get around to joining Booktalk. Almost a year ago I had an incessant need to do something new. So, I applied for a BA in literature at University and as a backup I thought I would find a bookclub.  Finding no local bookclubs - I have a sneaking suspicion that they're all underground, with rules 1, 2 &amp; 3 'You do not talk about Bookclub' - I resorted to online. It's taken just about that long to wade through the Google results.<br>... ]]></description>

After an incredibly hectic year and four moves later, I am now that much older and wiser (which isn't much <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ::18 --><img src=http://www.booktalk.org/emoticons/18.gif ALT="::18"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ).<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello all. My name is Adrienne.  I am a 43 yr-old single mother living in Northeast Pennsylvania.  I have been looking for an online book discussion group and came upon Booktalk last Thursday night.  I perused the site for about 3 hours and found it fascinating. I consider myself to be a freethinker and a humanist.  I am definitely not an atheist, although I have no allegiance to a specific religion.  I do not, however, believe in organized religion.  <br>
<br>
So, here is a quick little bio... ]]></description>
