xbookxloverx- Welcome and you probably are the youngest, but not by much. Pensy and Waxy and myself aren't too much older. Sometimes it does take a few days for replies to appear, most members do not devote 24 hours a day to the forum.
Netherbard- Welcome! I hope you find company to suite your tastes!
Hi all - this looks like a very cool and interesting site. I teach English Literature and Language to students aged 15-18 at a co-ed state high school (we call them colleges) in a small town in a rural area of the North Island of New Zealand. I am an avid reader off all sorts of things... I couldn't possibly name a favourite book or author.
looking forward to getting to know some people here

Hello all!
I stumbled onto this website while doing some research for a class I am teaching in the fall. I know, I know... its a bit nerdy doing research for fall already but I enjoy what I do.
The class is called Religion and Literature and I am researching Dracula right now... any research advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are the other texts I am using (again... any comments or resources are welcomed):
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Dracula by Bram Stoker
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I'm excited about being a part of the forum... but I'm a technophobe and still learning my way around... so please be patient.
Thanks!

Sorry no fancy avatar just Eccles.
I have been reading more and more American novels and works of late and being a distance away don't really know what other authors would appeal. More recent reads would be Niffeneger, Franzen, Kerouac. I have been quite taken with Franzen's worried style and I'm open to any ideas of a similar genre.
Eccles is where I'm from originally, a little town in Greater Manchester.

Hello. I came across this site looking for poetry ideas for my 8 year old daughter. I am an avid reader of all sorts and want to pass this enthusiasm on to her. Ability to read is not an issue, she could read before kindergarten, just motivation. Cheers.
Welcome Lizsmom. I hope you decide to stay with us. Lit net might a fun place for an avid reader.
