I was trying to find the reasoning behind the Countess G-- in 'The Count of Monte Cristo.' Had that question answered and then some! :D

I was desperately looking for the whole text of Virginia Woolf's "To the lighthouse", as i already have the book in Italian and didnt want to buy the English version. As i couldn't find the online book anywhere, i posted here to ask if i could know with certainty if it is still under copyright so that i could give up looking for it online. I was hurried and chose just a stupid nickname, cos in my mind i was saying that anyway i wouldnt have been here ever more... But then i started visiting every now and then, and lately i've been here regularly... Well that's my story :)

I was also looking for the text to books online...The library is always getting on my back about late fees. I wish I wasn't so absentminded! The first night I was on for hours, and now I visit semi-regularly. Finding this place was indeed a stroke of good luck...even if I lost the library's copy of Woman Destroyed.

I was looking to see if I could find Great Expectations online, because I no longer had the book. This is an amazing website, and I compliment the creator(s)!

Ha... was looking for some Huxley and dystopian stuff... and voila! At the top of the google list, but I'll be damned if I can remember what exactly I asked google to find... :P

I was under the distinct impression that I was plaggerising somebody when I used the phrase, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" in the closing arguement of an essay. I typed it into a search engine and ended up here in a short thread about the topic. Finding out I stole from Star Trek was somewhat disgruntling though, since I've never seen "The Wrath of Khan".

It is my lifelong goal to enter as many forums and never visit them as I can. Currently, I am at 31,873, and counting. I know nothing about what I talk about, so about the same as most of the people on this site. My screen name is the same for every forum that I am at, so if you see another apstudent, chances are, its me. Some little bratty 14 year old had my screenname on a different forum, so I just had my Mafia friends take care of him. I get them Classic Italian Literature, they keep me protected if you know what I mean.

I was looking for an etext too (Alice in Wonderland).

EDIT: I take that back. I just remembered I found it via a link to Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary from a forum on another site (www.shipoffools.com). I came looking for Alice after that.

Google brought me here when I was looking for stuff on Nineteen Eighty-Four. Then I just started digging around and found the site to be interesting.
