I'm startin' to think it's a prerequisite, along with "vacant chest cavity" and "four-digit IQ." Although if my current class has anything to say about it, that last one's been loosened up a bit.Quote:

Poets, writers, artists, and all members of this forum share something treasured in my heart, and it's the creative spirit which allows a greater perception of one's own passion and empathy. To this, and to the individuality, unrepeatable for eternity, I offer an embrace to each and all.
I hope there is something I may be able to offer as time goes by.

Welcome Micheal. I think you will enjoy this network. I'm hoping to see your posts.
Welcome SFaulkner and TheLatinPoet!
Hello...
I'm Julie :) I like alot of things and reading is one of them. So... Am I cool to join the bandwagon? :P
hello julie and hullo Latinpoet :wave: welcome to litnet.. hope to see you around, and hope you have fun
Well... I want to say "hi" too... I'm Joleena ;)
Hope I get along with this, for englisch is not my mothertongue, so feel free to critisize me when ever and where ever you want :D
(sometimes I do typing mistakes too ^^ )
Joleena, Welcome to the forum. I hope that you will like it a lot here.
Hello... I am Jones and I am new here. I'm studying acting in Edinburgh, where we've already performed 'Love's Labour's Lost' and 'Under Milk Wood.' I'm a Shakespeare fiend, and I've been reading obsessively since I was tiny - I'd love to be able to write a really decent book, but have a very short attention span (bloody actress) and I never seem to be able to finish one! Some of my dream roles are Viola, Beatrice and Rosaline (already played her, but want to professionally), Jo March, Sheila (from Joe Egg) and Alison (Look Back In Anger). Just wanted to say hi to you all, and hope you're all ok!
Bye xx
Welcome, all newcomers! May you find the LitNet forums hospitable!
:wave: Joyful greetings to:
sfaulkner--Wow, so you're related to William F. Any family stories about him? Anyway, sounds like you're pretty talented yourself. Do you compose and perform the scores for the films you make?
The Latin Poet--Hola Michael. Good to see a poet joining up. Many of us here share your deep love of poetry.
Julie--Welcome aboard the bandwagon.
Joleena--Don't worry about language mistakes. We have many here for whom english is a second language. Do you mind if I ask what your first language is?
Orchard Court--Hi Jones. So you're treading the boards eh? I envy your talent. I've studied Shakespeare a lot but haven't ever had the opportunity to act in one of his plays. It must be both fun and rewarding.
Hi! I'm Maria and love reading. People always tell me I'm confusing and use big words, but I don't think I do-they just have a limited vocabulary! I want to write novels someday but right now I'm just a student. I have a great imagination though. My mother tongue is english and my father tongue is norwegian. Some of my hobbies include quilling, watercolor, pysanky(ukrainian easter eggs), sewing, crocheting, and 4-H. I love mountains, lakes, forests, moons, stars, waterfalls, and solitude(but not all the time!). I'm a violinist and hardangerfiddler. I'm a strong believer in Christianity and the Bible.
Welcome aboard everyone!!! :D
Welcome all! RJbibliophil, I'm a violinist too! What songs ya like to play? My grandmother was a superb quilter, and I've tried, but I can't sew them together right, as well as the fact that I don't have the eye for it. I can sew a straight line, but the fabric doesn't stay the way I want it to stay!
@Petrarch's Love: of course I don't mind, if I did so, I wouldn't have mentioned that :D
My first one is german.
Hello.. I really dont know how to work this thing.. By the way im bree.. =)
someone help me please!!!
Wow so many newbies. I'll just give a big generic welcome to all of you.
Hello everyone, I'm the new kid!
I feel like the foreign new kid too; everyone seems to be American, whilst I am from the good ol' United Kingdom. Ah well, it is not important.
I recently decided to put my new found hobby of reading literature to good use, and therefore I start a literature degree from home in October. I'm very excited as well :D
My main hobby is music; I play guitar and also write songs and generally take great interest in anything with a rythm. But I am also a keen reader, although I had a spell when I wouldn't pick up a book (I was a rebellious teenager, 'I wasn't never gonna read a book again!') But after leaving school, I recently rediscovered the joys of the noble novel. So I decided to sign up on here, and meet some new interesting people.
Anyway, that is all for now; just a quick hello from me. If anyone wants to talk with me I have put my msn address on my profile, feel free to add me.
Thank You,
Adam
Hi Adam, Welcome to the forum. Well, everyone here is not American but maybe the majority is...
You will find a lot of topics for discussions here.
And welcome all the newbies! Have a nice time here and keep on posting!
Take heart, Wilful--you can count at least a few of us among your countrymen. Take Pendragon (so long as my memory does not fail me), one of the most prominent members here, for example.
Bananas! Robin he said he was from the uk!
Actually quite a few of us live in the uk. Yorkshire? Do you have daffs up there yet? seems the whole world has dafdfiodils this week.:D
:wave: A warm welcome to:
Bree--What do you need help with? Hope you get the hang of things soon and enjoy it here.
WilfulSunbeam--There are a fair number of Americans here, but there is a larger number of people here from outside North America than in it according to the "Where are you from?" poll, and I assume that some of the North Americans are from Canada or Mexico. Glad you've decided to join in our international community.
My daffodils here in NY just bloomed yesterday.Quote:

Hi Amy, Welcome to the forum! I hope to see more of you.
Hey everyone all i can say and all i have ever said to the new once, this is great!!! I really think all of you will like it. So hope you have a good time around here!!!!!
Welcome Amy :wave:--Glad this site is inspiring visits to the library. Happy reading and happy posting.
Hey everyone, just thought I should introduce myself and this seems like the perfect place to do so. Please forgive me if I mess anything up somehow, I am still trying to figure out how some things on the site work.
Well, I am finishing up my second year at a community college here in Southern California. But I work so much it seems impossible for anyone to finish jr. college in two years. I plan on majoring in Anthropology. Studying this field though makes for an interesting life as a Christian, so sometimes I am sort of a flip flop. But whenever I am not working or in class, I am always caught with a novel in my hands.
When I was filling out my profile, I laughed when it asked me my favorite author...I have got so many! I like Tolkein, Bram Stoker, H.R. Haggard, and Mary Webb just to name a few. I guess you could say I like adventure / fantasy. I tried to read Jane Austen one time, and it was a bit of a disaster. I am sure I will get back to her later though. I read for pure enjoyment, but I seriously appreciate those out there who know these authors' works on such an intimate level. Some of you guys on this site are so smart that I look forward to being a part of it!
I don't know if it is just California, but nobody reads anymore! That is why I decided to join this site. It is amazing how some people just don't even care to listen about "some book" you read. As a twenty year old, I can't say that I have read hundreds of books, but it is sad to hear that so many people my age read so few.
Anyway, this is just an introduction...I think there will be plenty of time for me to ramble later.
Your instinct is right--this IS the right place to introduce yourself :p.
Welcome to LitNet--if you're looking for a community of literary geniuses, there's a place down the road you can go. If you'd like to meet some book-lovers, though, by all means, stay as long as you like. May your time here be pleasant--glad to meet you.
Hi Grace, welcome to the forum!
Hi everybody,
I am joining this forum, having seen it for the first time today.
I live in London and am studying Literature through home study. Current topic - the Romantics.
Am hoping to be able to discuss issues with you guys???
Please do--welcome, hayati!!
Welcome to the forum, heyati!
Hey, everyone.
I just want to say hello. I like reading very much, but because iŽm living in germany and my english is not very good i normally read german books. So iŽll start here reading, perhaps writing own threads later (the shy one :-) . Do you think that the popularity of some books depend on the region? Maybe there are bestseller in england, which are quite unknown in germany? i hope iŽll find out.
andreas.
Hi andreas, welcome to the forum. Now man, you can start a thread about it. *smiles*
Whether you read in German, you are a reader and readers are always welcome here.
That's what LitNet is for. Well, Litnet is also for Gossips and playing games. Have a lovely time here!
Hello newbies! hope you have a great time here :)
