Early-teen fans on the Barrow Downs?

I'm too scared to post in Books

Exactly. I'm not really an early-teen fan, I'm 16, but The Books forum is extremely intimidating, which is a bit sad, 'cause I'm sure there are more people than me who'd love to be part of serious discussions, but can't work up the nerve to try and post in The Books.
I've posted there once in all my time at the Downs, and then I spent an hour or something writing the post, trying to say what I wanted to say in a comprehendable way, because not only am I younger than most on The Books, I'm not a native English speaker either, and the sheer size of the vocabulary of some posters on the Downs scare me senseless... I love reading in The Books forum though, though I never post there, I always learn lots [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
