Hi people, my nake if you haven't gathered is James and i look forward to being able to discuss opinions and views on literature which would be greatly appreciated by me :D
Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm interested in literature (particularly late-Victorian) and love to discover the opinion of others.
I have an MA in English Literature and my professional background is teaching.
I hope to get involved in some real indepth literary discussions with other like-minded people.
Hallo everybody, politeness and good manners demand that I say hi to you all, which I'll gladly do. My name is Dieter, I am Austrian, not quite so young, not quite so old (37 as a matter of fact) and an eager reader and writer. If you want to know what I'm talking aboout in my work-in-progress novel, check out my weblog (you can find it in my Profile section). Good to be here, good to be with you.
As an Austrian, I'd like to stress the important input of Austrians to World literature. I'd like to praise Joseph Roth, a 20th century writer I like very much for his deep insight into human nature and his sharp analysis of the end of the Habsburg monarchy and the dismantlement of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Hi everyone, I'm Tanya, studying Musical Theatre in London with a love of all things theatrical! I don't read or write nearly as much as I used to, but I'm having trouble finding stories that really grab my attention... I'm hoping I'll be able to get some advice on some good reading on here =)
I have discovered a new love in literature over the past 4 years. I have dabbled in writing and joined to share some of my work. I hope to learn from respectful criticism and look forward to reading other works.
Welcome to all our new people -- I know that you will enjoy every moment spent here at LitNet! :nod:
Howdy Lit-net! I used to post here as djy78usa, but have been away for a while, so I figured I'd reintroduce myself. I'm looking forward to getting back in the swing of things.
Hello there! My name is Daniel, i'm 19 and i'm Portuguese. I was looking for a forum like this! =) FOUND IT! It's good to know that reading and writing are not forgotten...or lost.
Chello everyone! My name is Phil, I just found this website not that long ago and I'm pretty new here but I love it. I started writing when I was 13, a lot of my work got banned from school and got me in constant trouble but it never stopped me. I live in the valley in California and play in a punk rock band here, needless to say I love to write and play music. I dabble in a lot of arts and aside from the written ones I do a lot of drawing. I am an anarchist and a feminist, so I'm very political but I don't hold my beliefs against those of others. I am twenty years old and running out of things to put in my introduction lol.
Hello! I joined this site because, after reading Moby-Dick, I had a strong desire to both read people's interpretations and discuss my own. I came across this site, and seeing that it covered a wide range of literature, I decided that it would be a great place to visit.
I also have a great interest in writing, and I try to write for at least one to two hours a day.
It's nice to meet everyone.
It probably seems like I'm obsessed with Moby-Dick. :)
Hi
I am dutifully following the request to post an intro . Wasn't a stellar writer in my earlier days. Then I met a girl who had scored 800 in her English SAT. I decided to retake the test to impress her,:rolleyes: and scored 800 in the English section.:cornut: I ran to the telephone to tell her the news only to find she had disconnected her phone:incazzato:
Four years later I sent the test results to my old high school headmaster, and presto I got paying work in the writing profession while the letter was en route. Have been writing ever since.
I joined to share a short story -my spoof on the Google Local.
If the smiley icons I put in this piece don't work just use your imagination!

good afternoon. I am a dwarf. Specifically, Grumpy. I just thought I would try this out.
Hello everyone.
I'm Raabia Hirani, final year student of BS in English Literature at University of Karachi, Pakistan.
At present I'm doing research in sufism/mysticism as result of existentialism in contemporary literature.
I'm easily distracted, mainly because I'm interested in pretty much everything. An ideal life for is one in which there is no road not taken. Which, as I've learnt, is not a very practical approach to life. Well I'm searching and learning. Thats about it
Hello,
I am new here and after reading some wonderful stories in this forum I decided to join. I really do not have so much time because I am a working mum but I am truly convinced that reading and writing is such an enrichment for our lifes. Whereever you live or whatever you do with literature there is a great band between everybody.
I am really looking forward reading more interesting stories.
By the way, I am from Germany (the former West-Germany) and I love Period Dramas, Folk Dancing, Black Tea, Blue Grass and the books of Connie Willis, Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell.
Yours
Dixon
Welcome to the forum! I saw your user name and thought " Huh! I wonder if they read Gaskell." I was right! :)Quote:

Hello there !
french book geel, here or as we so nicely put it "rat de bibliothèque"... 27 years old, still prefering a good rocking staurday night reading book with a nice cup of tea than going out to clubs. Not single anymore though...a miracle it seems.
Hello everyone !! :coolgleamA:
Hello, all.
I live in Southern New England, have long been interested in good music and good books and have tried my hand at writing a missive or two.
I will write more about myself in subsequent posts.
It's good to be in the company of those who know the value and force of the Written Word.
Cheers
Greetings to everyone.
I live in Kathmandu, Nepal. Most of you never heard of it, as it always has been overshadowed by India. Well, I am currently studying Language and Literature as a subject in my A Levels course. I joined this forum to improve my literary skills and to share my knowledge in context to the literary world. To be honest, I am not as skillful when it comes to writing. My initial plan was to join an RPG forum, but that required spending my precious time reading mangas (which I am no where near crazy about).
I am a huge "MUSIC" fan: I listen to all genres of music and I love reading sci-fi books. I haven't taken Psychology as a subject in my A levels course, but I find myself in the library reading the Psychology textbook. I am keen in making new friends within this forum.
Hello, everyone!
I am in LOVE with all kinds of books, but have recently found an obsession with the works of William Shakespeare. I joined this site to meet fellow lovers of literature like myself as well as improve my knowledge of the subject itself. My greatest loves include singing, playing the piano, reading, and acting.
May the Bard be with you! :)
Hi...
Greetings to all u new litterature network fans and lovers out there! :seeya:
My name is Paris and I'm a teacher from London...I love reading anything from poetry to autobiographical works..I also love to write but do so in short bursts (wat I mean is..I'm a lazy writer)..I have chosen the character 'stitch' as my avatar as I feel he represents my personality to some extent..'Stitch' is the name of the genetic experiment 626..a fictional alien originally created to cause chaos across the galaxy..(I sometimes wonder if I myself am a fictional character..as for his ability to cause chaos..(well the less said about that the better)..he is marked by his short temper and mischievous behavior traits that endear him to his friend Lilo..who adopted him as her puppy dog...although I will not admit to being anyone's pet..it has been suggested that that may well be what I need in order to 'find some sanity'..
I am looking forward to some serious conversation..a little humour..debate and insightful reading..(or and some playful fun)... :iamwithstupid:
Hello all,
My name's Alex. I'm a second year English Lit major at university. I'm new to the forums and decided that I should get that awkward first post out of the way here in the introductions area. Favorite writers include Hemingway, Twain, that squirrely guy quoted in my signature, and a whole host of others. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, hope to talk to some of you soon.
hi my name is Sina although I'm not a native English speaker, I love English and I really enjoy Poe's and other short story writers' works. I'm not into novels any more. I don't know exactly when, but somewhere in University, I found them boring and unbearable. I want to improve my knowledge of English and I hope you guys can help me with that
Hello,
I registered here because I am starting my PhD in English literature in three or four months. For the time being, I am teaching college in an asian country. My school is in a rural area, so I am a bit isolated and have lots of time to read and think, but no one to discuss my ideas with. My subject is tentatively entitled 'Silence in Austen, Eliot and Woolf.' I am interested in the way things are not said in these three authors, and how censure and censorhsip function from regency England to WW2.
hello everyone
Hello every body iam glad for being amember of this useful forum ,I hope you the best.
Greetings from Ghana!
I registered because I just like to read.
Call me Leo.
I should have taken Classics and English Lit when I was at school, my teachers said so, my parents said so, but my friends took science subjects, so I took science subjects. I ended up at the bottom of the sea, in the Navy; literally and spiritually, a pretty low period in my life.
Resurfacing, I realised that I had taken my life in the wrong direction, and there wasn't much chance to go back, as I have four kids; I have to feed their mouths, not my ego. So I have decided to further my literary ambitions in an amateur capacity.
I especially love Ancient Greek material --philosophy is fascinating to me-- but I also love the modern novel.
I hope to make friends here that I can consult for opinions about what I am reading, so that I can annotate with more professionalism, and I intend to take formal qualifications in Latin and Ancient Greek over the next few years so that I may join the esteemed ranks of those who call themselves Classicists.
I love you all.
I'm never sure how to start these things...
Anyway, I stumbled on this site a couple of weeks ago. I was looking up a poem from WWI, and one click led to another. Next thing I knew, I'd found one of my favorite stories from grammar school: The Open Window.
I've been steadily working my way through the list of Saki works, and will move on to reintroduce myself to O Henry.
My hobbies... Well, my husband and I are very "into" self-sufficiency, and "living simply so that others may simply live" (thank you, Elizabeth Seton for saying it so succinctly).
I have a rather large garden, we're working to restore a dilapidated orchard, and we raise chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, and goats.
Old Jeep restoration is a passion of mine. Sewing is fun, reading is better.
So now I'm going to go and answer the question that prompted my joining your membership here, then I will continue reading Saki!
heey
This is me, Literature Girl getting to th!s site couple days ago
Hope we can be good and cooperative friends and help each other to raise our English Literature up and up!

I very much like to see the Chinese book《Tess of the D 'Urbervilles》. and want to see the original works written in English, so I was on Google has come here. I am very happy here, I can feel everyone's life in bloom. So there is this ID, yunxin. English meaning cloud heart. The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year, I wish you a Happy New Year!
Hello! I stumbled upon this site just this afternoon and thought I'd participate. My favorite authors are brilliant people like C.S.Lewis and J.R.R.Tolkien, but I'll read just about anything.
Hello all, read few threads here and decided to join this forum.
My hobbies are listening to music, reading books, etc.
I am interested with people and their thoughts, hoping to find and share lots of interesting things.
Nice to meet you all!
Hi. My name is Kiera but my friends call me Chris. I really don't like to read, but I love to write books! I want to know how to post my book. It's just the first couple pages, but it's worth it. And yes, that is my picture. I live in California, and I live in a condo. I'm going to bed, I have a audition tomarrow for a movie. See ya!
Hello, everybody! Finally I finished registrating to this site. I'm looking forward talking to you and exchanging thoughts.:wave:
Hi everybody!
Just joined this forum. I love reading books. Hope I'll have some interesting discussions on this site. :wave:
hullo there!
just registered on this site. the study of literature is definately one of my greatest loves, and im interested to hear other peoples thoughts and discussions :)
Hello every one- well am not good at describing my self- I was wondering that may be I could find some interesting discussions at this magical but dirty wired-box and it was fortunate for me to stumble at this site.:thumbsup:
I have a BA degree in British literature- though my mouth is not native to that land. I would ardently read what people think about books and only then could I feel the true sense of the book. Yet one thing I hate more than formalism is a critic who writes for the benefit of his own ***.:banghead:
With out a doubt, my beloved writers are the Russians- in their silver age- F. Dostoevsky, N. Gogol, and Chekhov. I cannot deny the talents of D.H Lawrence and Hemingway too.
