Hi?

Hi,

I saw that your username mentions that you like reading. I also like reading.

What's your favorite book(s)? For me, it's Alexander Hamilton (the inspiration for the Hamilton play), and A Fragile Enchantment by Alison Saft Villaida (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

My favorite book is the Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien for its adventurous storyline. The person who loves reading (talk) 22:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
