I am an American living in Smokvica, Croatia, with my English wife Catherine. We met in Oregon 15 years ago where she introduced me to the Guardian. She has been reading the Guardian for many, many years back to when it was known as the Manchester Guardian. Additionally, the Guardian website is the page our web browser goes to when we open it.
I enjoy the writing in the Guardian, especially for the unbiased reporting and different slant on the world situation. My favourites of your many stellar writers are George Monbiot, whose analyses of current situations are quite on target, and Hadley Freeman, who, although I may not agree with everything she writes, presents a good case for her view. They are both on my shortlist of persons with whom I would like to have a cup of coffee.
My wife and I work the crosswords together, which has helped me realise that we are two countries separated by a common language. I usually finish about 85% and rely on Katie (and the Oxford English Dictionary) to complete the puzzles. I also enjoy the Notes & Queries section. The responses to the queries are both fun and educational.
Finally, the photography accompanying the articles and the Eyewitnessed section are awe-inspiring. They are works of art. You obviously have the best editors in capturing the mood of the minute.
