By the way, I have had more time to play on this site, so yeah, with time comes the ability to get to know more people here...what a nice bunch... :wave:
To answer Papaya's, yes I have recommended this site to several people I know. Well, I don't think they join as member yet, though they did checked it out.
Sadly,I am the only person I know who reads.
I wish I could meet a nice lady who reads.I would make her mine!!!!!!!

I joined becaus eof the book club I was hunting for a forum for people who liked to read and noticed a bookclub and so I joined :D
I joined because I could immediately sense every members good heart here! And I figured I wanted to start sticking my nose places I wasn't sure it belonged . . .
I don't really remember why, but it had something to do with books. :)
I was looking for a literature forum, so I could put my knowledge of English to a good use. ;) But mainly I joined because I wanted to find people who liked reading and discussing books as much as I do.Quote:

I was doing a search on Russian Literature and this site was one of the results. I joined because after spending a few years on a Tolkien forum, it was nice to talk about books other than LOTR and The Silmarillion for a change.:rolleyes:Quote:

To answer Nighty's, I joined accidently when I was looking for works by Maupassant. Then I read these posts by Camper, Fayefaye, and Kik...that's how it all started ;). Miss the three of you :)
I was googling a story, and one result was lit net, then I realized there was forum here, and since it looked marvelous, I joined. Speaking of referring people here, how do you send referrals? or is it just fill in who referred you when you join?
Felt like trashing the "International Library of Poetry," and stumbled here.
Papaya, I recommended my cousin to join the forum and she did...
Night, In December, 2005 I read Harry Potter 1,2,3,4 and 5, I loved them. THey made me read more books and I really got into books when I read Mill On The Floss in June or July (can't remember exactly) Then I used to see my brother accessing a forum for nearly two years. A nosy girl I am, I started to use internet and poked my nose into that forum which was ofcourse this forum. Then I was attracted by the words "Forum" and "Literature" so fell in love with it!
Aimuswhat is your nick pronounced like?
Stanwhat is it you like about pirates?
Pensy is your bro still on this forum? plus, where in Pk do you live? (i dreamt of going on a Geography field trip to Pk with my fave Geo prof for 4 years... once i was back from England and ready for the trip, he changed univ, so he didn't offer the trip any more :( )
Yes, he still visit it now and then.Quote:

Ah, that's a poor dream. You should visit Pakistan. I bet, you will find it very different. By they way, where do you live? And when are you going to complete the next chapter of your story? I really liked it quite a lot. :D
I'm from the southern part of Germany.
wow, thanks for your compliment... story? do you mean my so-called novel? I've got 4 chapters written, but have only posted 2 or something of them so far... these days I'm cramming for my Education finals, so there's no way I can write on it :( :( :(
errr, can't think of any other questions for you right now.... :( l8er...
Best of luck with your final exams!
I will look forward to read the other chapters of your novel!

I remember first coming to this site looking for information and books by Virginia Woolf, though, from my love for her her, my obsession eventually spread to other authors available on the site, such as D.H. Lawrence, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, the Brontė sisters, E.M Forster, Dante Alighieri, George Eliot . . . etc., etc., etc.Quote:

do you think it's possible to be wise/sage and lively/a bit boisterous at the same time? SleepyWitch wants to be sage but she's also very silly and playful...
That is most certainly possible, how can anyone consider themselves wise if they don't even know how to have fun. :)Quote:

Doesn't mean there are no boring sages. but it isn't a prerquisite, at least not according to me! :D
hehe, I've found a pic of a sage

ok, question to WeepingWillow: do you get willow trees in Israel at all? just curious :)
ok..
Yes we have some of them but not much as far as i know... (i could be wrong here..)
In the future i wish i'll have on in my yard.. but i think this belongs to the I wish thread now is it? :)
In the words of a popularl song, Sub. "So you had a bad day..." Only I had a bad month. I keep a lot of things secret from people, for I do not wish to burden others with my problems. I fight my own battles. Pressure and stress just got to me...if some friends hadn't ralleyed to my aid, I don't know what I would have done. Those friends came from the LitNet and contacted me via e-mail or chat. I am basically a hermit at home. So I do appreciate my friends on the LitNet very much. Including you! ;)Quote:
