Hello :] I'm not actually new here but it's been so long since I've been on I thought I would reintroduce myself.
My name is Adorerodio (Dio for short), I am female- don't get confused by the name. I just graduated high school and I like to call myself a poet. I frequented, and plan to frequent again, the poetry threads- especially the picture poetry contest. I love to read- no specific genre or author, anything really. Tolkien, John Green (go nerdfighters!), Alcott, Austen, etc etc. I'm going to college to study Elementary Education and become a teacher.
So there you go. I haven't been on because I have been exceptionally busy and I also waste too much time on FB. :]
Maybe I'll see you around! :}
Hello,
I just discovered this site because having arrrived at work, I realized I'd left my ragged old copy of David Copperfield in the car. I'd intended to re-read and re-remember what happened when Aunt Betsey showed up broke & destitute.
It's only my 3rd or 4th time around with this, my favorite book, so I was a bit anxious to keep on with the flow. So I just Googled looking for an on-line text and found myself here.
A very happy discovery!
I'm overjoyed to find a place like this to see the different interpretations of CD's characters and their comparisons to ourselves and each other.
Thank you!
David
Hi All,
Recently I was in the middle of reading Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain and was so baffled that I sat straight up and said, "Surely there must be a forum for this kind of confusion." This was the first site that came up when I googled forums for literature, and I'm hoping that all of you can help me out.
By the way, I am mad about coffee and dark chocolate and photography, and I have absolutely no idea who my favorite author is. A few of my favorite books are by Walker Percy, Robert Penn Warren, Tolstoy, and Dostoyevsky. And Mann is growing on me.
Hello! I'm a literature loving guy who is so happy I found this site! It's great to be able to find so many authors and their stories in one place.
Hi, I'm thelightofday. I was thinking of Snow Patrol lyrics when I came here. I go to college, and I'll be getting my Associate's in Liberal Arts when I'm done. I'm going to transfer to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn for my BFA in Writing, so if I get in, I'll be happy about that.
I like to engage in debate in the most humane, non-degrading way possible. I'll act like a decent person to you no matter how you act towards me--but that doesn't mean you get to walk all over me, either.
I do what I can, and I always try my best no matter what. :)
I'm nineteen years old. I live in the United States, in New Jersey. That's as much geographical info as you're going to get from me. :)
Anyway, this is long enough, so I'm going to explore some more and maybe I'll see more people on the way. :)

hi everyone!
I love books. I love people who love books. I assume everyone here loves books. So rest assured, all of you, that nobody loves you
Hey Everyone,
I just found this forum while looking for information on Finnegan's Wake and it looks like the kind of place I've been looking for to discuss all the books I enjoy!
I just recently also got an eBook reader (the Kobo) and really been liking it.
Hello everyone, I love books, what genre it is doesn´t matter as long as it is good and I would love to discuss those books.
ROFLMHO! :bQuote:

I'm a student/care-taker who is slowly (slowly) making the way towards a degree in English. I'm looking to teach in high school. My real love is philosophy, mainly hermeneutics (hence the name), but I've always been a reader since I was a kid (mostly the bible and comic books). I tend to be more of a thinker than a reader; I highly enjoy the presence of books more than I do what's in them!
Hello, I'm Kaprekar (that's not my real name) and I am someone who used to read a lot and then got out of the habit when I had my children. I'm now trying to catch up, and re-discover what I used to read, and also read new books. My way back in has been via Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South and another literature forum. My favourite authors include Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Elizabeth Gaskell, the Brontes, John Buchan, in more recent years I have been reading some American authors such as John Irving and Michael Chabon. I live in the UK, near London. I am also starting to be interested in reading some historical novelists initially Georgette Heyer and Bernard Cornwell.
I do also like theatre and have been having a go at acting myself by joining a local theatre group. Sadly young children and shortage of funds have made it difficult to go out much to see professional productions, but in the past I used to particularly enjoy trips to Stratford or London to see RSC productions such as a Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, Julius Caesar, etc. I also love musical theatre.
I just recieved a recommendation to check out this site and it seems interesting. I am a 34 year old high school art and dance teacher. I have two boys ages 3 and 5 (15 months apart), a cockapoo named Nitro and the best husband in the world (I am biased though). I have been studying the Spanish language for the last year. I am a certified hatha yoga instructor as well. I mostly enjoy reading historical fiction. This summer I took on and just finished War and Peace and loved it! I noticed the book of the month and that seems like an interesting aspect of this site to me. Particularly the current book.
Hello. I decided to join this forum after a google search on existentialist literature brought me here.
Seems like a good place to pick up ideas on what to read and discuss books and whatnot.
Welcome, bookfall.
Hello, I have been reading here off and on for a while, but just thought I would make it official and jump in. There are some conversation threads that are interesting, and I would like some input on some poetry, some of the poetry games look fun, also.
Well, who knows where I'll wind up, but for now, hello all!
Regards,
EJ
Ello ello!
Shakespeare loving theatre director and lecturer here. Very excited to be able to chat to all you lovely literature lovers about whatever springs to mind and not just my own little area of interest.
Aside from that, Im 35, from Liverpool UK and don't you just love the weather right now? Lots of thunderstorms! I'm loving it!
Hi.
I'm new here.
I reside in Melbourne, Australia and am a technical writer and editor by profession.
Being a keen student of both speculative fiction and more generally world literature I was naturally attracted to this forum.
I hope to make a useful contribution to this site.
See you all on the boards.
Hello all,
just popping by to say hello.Im looking forward to meeting all of of you over the comming months
all the very best
bill
What's up?
I'm 28, from Long Island. I graduated a few years ago with a bachelor's in political science from Coastal Carolina University, in Myrtle Beach. I spent a year teaching English in Korea, and now I'm back in Myrtle. I'm a certified Social Studies teacher, unable to find work, so I'm subbing in the local school district this year.
I'm a fairly voracious reader, both fiction and non. Politics and literature are my two passions, so in terms of non-fiction, my reading tends to coincide with my politics (far to the left of most people). Noam Chomsky is a hero of mine and my favorite contemporary political writer, but I also read people like Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn... pretty much anyone with views that are considered radical in the context of America in twenty-first century. I'm also a huge fan of the so-called "New Atheists," particularly Hitchens, Harris, and Dawkins.
As for non-fiction, I love existentialist literature and have something of an obsession with Dostoevsky, who is definitely my favorite author of all-time. I am also fascinated by Kafka and Camus. I also love the great satirical writers of the Enlightenment, like Voltaire and Swift. Cormac McCarthy is my favorite living author and really the only one whose new releases I am genuinely excited for.
I live with my girlfriend and I have many friends. Myrtle Beach is not a very cultured city, to say the least, and it's difficult for me to find people to discuss politics or literature with. So I stumbled across this forum. I hope it's lively and enjoyable.
Good to be here; I'll see everyone in the forums!
Hi everyone!
I am 48yrs. old Medical Doctor who happens to love reading. I am from eastern Europe, I speak several languages but my english is pretty rudimental since I've learned it all by my self, when I was a teenager. And believe me, it was a difficult task in those days of my youth when russian was exclusively offered by almost every school in my country.
I am looking forward to becoming a member of this community partly because of my love for literature of any kind written by any author, but mostly because I think that you guys, know little about slavic literature.
I assume that most of you have heard about Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. Some of you are even familiar with their novels. But lat's face it: How many of you who are not professionally involved in this field, have read anything from , Sholohov, Andric, Solzhenitsyn, Sienkiewicz, Pasternak... and btw. ALL of them are Nobel Prize Laureates in literature.
So my mission is to introduce you to the beautiful and complex slavic soul and to guide you throw the deepness of emotions and feelings which can be, at a first glance, quite confusing but in the same time so honest, warm and genuine.
I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I'll enjoy answering your questions.
Yours Natasha
A welcome to all new members!

Hey everyone,
This is my first post, but it's taken me a long time! I've been meaning to join for over a year. I'm a second year uni student getting my major in English Literature whilst getting a Diploma of Buisness/Retail Management through my job.
I haven't read half the books I would like to. I love learning as much as I can about literature - in all its forms. Although I have noticed I tend to prefer classic to contemporary.
I love Harry Potter so much I have actually deluded myself into thinking I'm a wizard (please don't judge me too harshly!)
Oh, and I live in Australia! One of the most beautiful places in the world. Nice to meet everyone!
Hi Gribble :wave: Be welcome!

Hello Everyone !
Assalam-oo-Alaikum
I stumbled upon this site by accident while i was in desperate need for an online version of a short story. Well, all i can say is that I don't regret it.
To begin with, my name is Farheen Ayesha, 13 years old, 8th grader and a great lover of books. Eventhough at my age girls like to read those Princess Diaries and stuff but I read other books. Classics and stuff.
I want to make friends and I will soon be taking part i nthe discussions going on here but right now, my electricity is going to go out so Bye~!
Great Forum guys!
