    Heya, I'm Switch. I am a writer who likes to try different forums and styles of writing to find out what people like and will read. I am Southern, and have a lilt of southern mentality and accent in my writing. I write a lot of freestyle and off the cuff straight from brain to written word without thinking. This can oft earn either fans or foes. It's okay, I like opinions and do not profess to be professional at writing. It is just a joy for me to create characters and storylines. It is a release for me, as it is for most writers. I hope you will at least read my ramblings and comment so I can better at it.

    Hi :)

    Hiii there...
    My real name is Tommaso, i am eighteen.
    I come from Italy, a really nice country, you should visit it
    Sorry for my bad english, i do my best in order to improve it
    My nickname is Heidy because i love one philosopher, Heidegger, and i am sure that Heidegger's closer friends called him heidy
    Heidy is also a character of a cartoon, a small child that lives with his grandfather on one mountain among sheeps and nature. But i don't wanna make you bored with this story.
    I decided to register myself here for two main reason:
    1) I wanna learn english having fun
    2) Next week i am having the last exam and i will leave school in order to apply at medicine university. But i am sad because i don't wanna leave philosphy, literature...at the beginning, five years ago when i started high school i hated it..but step by step i fell in love and now i can't imagine one life without it.
    So i would like to keep reading books and comment these with you
    I will start with "der prozess" by Kafka that is the last book i red.
    I must admit that i have red it two times and i haven't understood it yet at all ahaha
    it's a really hard book and i would like to know what do u think about it.

    i think it's enough..
    Nice to meet you all
    :P

    Hello everyone,
    I just stumbled across this forum today while I was researching which Charles Dickens book I should read first. My lucky day! I am sure that I will be spending some of my spare time on here whenever I take a break from the latest book that I have my nose in. You see I don't have a "bucket list" but actually a "reading list". My goal is to read all of the greats of classic literature!
    So anyway, it is nice to meet you all and now I must get back to Tolkien.

    Hello, I'm Halder. I'm just an undergraduate student in college. I've liked writing small stories as a hobby for a long time, and I just thought it may be cool to be able to see what other people write and to get criticism and advice on how to write better. Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading things that everybody writes and learning a lot. Nice to meet you!

    Hey guys my name is Casper and I just joined the site. I'm really friendly and love to talk about basically everything. If you're interested, drop me a line.
    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

    Smile Greetings to everyone.

    I am new to this site and was happy to find it. It is hard to remember all of the poems I used to know and I am happy to be able to look them up.

    I am retired and do whatever I wish now. Yeah!!!
    I do quilting, crochet and cross stitch. I have more than I can do as I have saved material and thread for years and the problem is where to begin. I have made two quilts and a table topper thus far and am doing counted cross stitch picture for my daughter. It is hard to see the holes in the cloth so it is going very slow.

    I hope to be able to use this site a great deal.

    Hello everyone,
    I spent much of my youth consuming every book available. After that I was mostly concerned with the Bible and sacred texts, spending more than ten years with these as my primary focus, and working hard as a volunteer minister. Welding and steel fitting is my trade, and I have always considered myself more of an artisan than anything else.

    Some of my pursuits include weightlifting, bow hunting, and backpacking.

    To instill a love of reading in my two children is a personal goal of mine, and lately, the past year, I have been reading classic literature with renewed vigor myself.

    Thank you all for having me.

    -Joel-

    hi!

    Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I've been a member of a forum, but I'm excited to join this vibrant conversation about my favorite thing - literature! I am a philosophy major at a small northeastern liberal arts college currently seriously considering switching to an English major (I would do it if it weren't for all the theory of, in my opinion, dubious philosophical worth I'd have to go through). My favorite kind of literature is epic poetry (especially the Odyssey), Romantic poetry, and especially Modernist prose. I've loved Virginia Woolf for a long time now and I've been inspired by A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man multiple times. I picked up Faulkner for the first time this summer and enjoyed him immensely even though I'm sure I barely understood him. I've started the monumental task of reading In Search of Lost Time (the Kilmartin translation) and I'm absolutely loving how poetic it is. Too bad I'll never speak French. Although I am minoring in German so I can hope to someday read Kafka in the original.

    I'm very interested in the philosophy of art and the artistic process, even though I doubt if I'll ever be able to write something creative myself. As a fair warning, I suspect that I can be a little irritating in debates because I basically follow the Socratic method and, I know, no one likes a gadfly. I have two pet peeves that I'll always be willing to get into a debate over (and, admittedly, never admit that I'm wrong about): when people speak of artistic intent like it's a knowable entity and when people try to impose anything but subjective value judgments on works of art.

    As for my name, mauve is my favorite color. It's very floral.

    That's all for my introduction - I'm excited to get to know members of the forum!

    Hello to everyone who has come before me! I've already been on these sites and gave a little introduction, that was nearly a year ago and I didn't come back after! But, hopefully I will make more of a contribution now, as a more widely-read guy!
