Hey everyone,
I'm Cat, and I am 14 and living in Australia. Ice skating is my main hobby, as well as listening to music and reading.
balehead convinced me to register, and I found out it is actually pretty cool :D
So what else goes on around here? Is there also a forum for music as well as books?
Thanks,
MusicForTheSoul

Hello everyone. I'm Iván, I am spanish and i'm learning our lenguage... sorry if I am wrong in some word.
I'm new in this forum and i'd like to meet people to speak about literature. Well, I'm 19 years old and I'm writting my first novel (I hope to finish it soon). I like to write poetry too. I prefer the prose poems though I consider myself to be a novelist and not poet. My favourite authors are: Charles Bukoswki, Henry Miller, Jack Keroauc, Jaime Bayly, Franz Kafka, Guy de Maupassant and Gerard de Nerval.
Well, that's all... :wave:

Hello everyone. I'm challenged on what to say without saying too much and becoming a bore or a braggart.
I was born in Berlin during the Airlift in 1948. I am the son of a German war refugee and a French Army Captian. My mother brought me to the USA after marrying a US Army soldier. Our first day in the USA was the Fourth of July. I still have the plane ticket. Being an Army brat took me all over the USA and Europe and most especially Alaska where I found the poetry of Robert Service. More recently I have lived in So. California, where my children still live. I am now in Oregon. My life has taken me to many interesting places and people. I enjoy writing poetry but I do not tease myself that it is any good, but I still write it.
Hi! I registered last year but have always been 'spying' on people's posts and have never really posted anything myself. So I'm new here, I guess. I am a student majoring in bio and love reading books. I wish I can say I love writing, but unfortunately I am a terrible writer and that really keeps me from writing actively. I just keep a journal and never let anyone read it :P
Glad to join this place!
Gone Away
Well introductions are always difficult.
A little about myself, I was born and grew up in Montreal, I attended McGill University and received a degree in microbiology, and I enjoy reading when I have the time ;). So, I hope to enjoy my time here and not be too much of a burden.
Heya,:wave:
I'm Piglet and I'm 14 nearly 15.
I love to read and I love the Twilight Saga. I'm currently reading a book by Torey Hayden.
My Favourite authors are Stephenie Meyer, Jodi Picoult and Torey Hayden.
I look forward to reading and posting into the forums.
See you around :)
Hello everybody.
I love so much some of the English literature that I have decided to participate in this forum, although I'm afraid that I could not contribute very much for English is not my mother tongue.
Read you soon.
Hello all, glad to be a member of a forum again - it's been years since I was a regular poster.
I've always been in love with reading (see my username/4th grade nickname). Growing up in a tiny town in the rural Midwest, books have always been a key factor in my entertainment and imagination. I am on a mission of sorts to read novels acknowledged to be great works of literature, while still enjoying my Nora Roberts collection. I hope to find suggestions on this forum, as my list of great novels from the Modern Library suspiciously contains many books published by the Modern Library and doesn't contain any books written after 1970. :rolleyes:
Later.
Hello..wow i have no idea how to post things such as my poems ha im a dumb kid
I enjoyed reading this thread and thought I'd add my bit. Greetings to all; I have been looking for a community like this for a while and was glad to stumble across this site. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone.
As for myself: I have been an avid but highly unorganized reader, home schooled through high school. After a brief foray into university-level piano performance studies, I stepped out of academia for some years, earning a certification in teaching ESL/EFL and working in various music-related positions. Now in my mid-twenties I am beginning to earn a bachelor's degree in English language and literature.
Outside of words I work as a barista and a professional harpist. I am marrying a man soon who is truly above all others. To him I say in Anne Bradstreet's words,
"If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can."
I don't know how much I will be able to post on these boards but I feel privileged to join. Thanks all!
Hello, all. I'm 23, graduated this past summer with an English degree (Creative Writing track) and have been slowly spreading myself out all over the interwebz in recent months. You can find me on DeviantArt, blogspot (under thevulpesfulva), and writing.com. There are other sites to which I also belong, but I don't think it's necessary to post my Web history here.
Anyway, I hope to put up some of my stuff, both new and old, onto my blog here.
Happy reading and writing!
hi, im alexray, im from the united states and im 17. I enjoy reading, but not writing. i found this site doing research on F.Scott Fitzgerald. There is so much interesting stuff here!

I found this site after searching around for a decent forum where people discuss literature on all levels, from serious to just giving opinions. I read a few topics and really thought I could add a little to the place. It seems to be a more verbal group, as suppose to Goodreads or Amazon where most conversations are review-based.
I started reading heavily a few years ago when me and my husband packed up with his immediate family and moved to Georgia. I'm originally from Baltimore, and being so close to the city I read a little but there are so many distractions I never thought seriously about books. But once I moved from the city to the country, I found myself with minimal entertainment, a lot of free time, and not enough things to fill my day. Then I discovered literature.
It's been three years since then and I've read a little from every time period and a wide range of authors. I've decided to return to college and pursue my English degree. I'm looking to get an MLS and eventually become a librarian.
Oh, and I love the Boston Redsox. :D
alright, hi.
my username is actually a moniker i thought of for who is arguably my favourite musican, Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
(if you've never heard of them, kindly do yourself a favour and listen. if you have, let's be friends.)
the nickname i (begrudgingly) go by is Mimi; it's disguising an even more undesirable real name.
i can never seem to describe myself in one or two clean sentences, as most seem to be able to, for they are varied, skewed, and more often than not are simply perceived as odd, to some degree. But here, I'll try:
I think in Serbian, speak in English, dream in French, struggle when reading Dostoevsky and Pushkin in Russian, and am learning German with a reckless abandon. I am eternally, inexplicably fascinated and in love with the majestic city of Vienna, rain and monsoons, far too many writers and poets to name, sleeping, the science of dreams, the moon, medicine, psychology, and the stillness and comfortable melancholia that comes with winter.
Welcome, you. :lol: You're gonna love this place. Maybe I'll get to read some stuff you haven't posted on the other forums yet! Yay!Quote:

Kind regards.
Hello,
just signed up and this is my first post.
I "attempt" to write poetry and love to read it more and gladly review/comment on others work, however be warned I am not a professional, in fact I am self taught for all the good that's done me. :(
Hope to read many fine works here, and thank you for this place of literate refuge!

Good evening, at least it after midnight where I live. What can I say about myself that would be profound? I guess the truth is always the best option. I am married, I have two children (one who teaches literature to high school students) the other who works at a hospital. My husband and I live in a zoo, no that is not a joke it is a fact. We run a small non profit zoo and somehow my life was brought here to live among the animals. It has enriched me, most likely is responsible for my children being who they are as they were brought up living in a zoo, and is a passion for which I have never grown weary.
Reading the previous posts I have to say I am dismayed at the lack of passion for literature as a university course or career. I love books, any books of any kind. I am a voracious reader and writer and believe that the written word is more powerful than any other art form. It brings our imaginations to life, we form pictures in our minds and travel on a journey with each turn of the page. Without literature both past and future we would be less than we are. Yes, I have a Masters in Science and I am a primatologist but for me the written word can change the world. For the work I do with endangered and exotic species the written word could possibly save a species from extinction. For it is the written word that gives me knowledge, that gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge, but more importantly to share my passion for those animals that struggle to survive. To create awareness of their stories and hope that their stories will not be heard as a history lesson but as a lesson that changed their fate. Okay, I guess I have done more than introduce myself, but you did ask for it :-)
