I am new to this forum and am loving it. I write poetry and have published a book of poetry last year. I am sure I will find a lot of interesting things here to read!
I am in highschool and i want feedback to try and get better. I speak english and french and really enjoy learning new languages. I also love sitting down with a good book and drifting off into my imagination.
Hello, everyone :)
I'm a 16-year-old girl from Dubrovnik, Croatia. I'm half-American and half-Croatian, so I speak both almost perfectly, but English is my mother tongue. I'm currently a junior at high school and plan to study in the United States, preferably UC Berkeley (fingers crossed!). My main interests are linguistics, history, and, of course, literature.
I love reading and writing, which is basically why I joined this thread. I can't wait to start talking to users who love books as much as I do and hope I learn how to argue and/or discuss properly. My favorite book is currently A Tale of Two Cities (it changes from time to time) and I can't pick a favorite author for the life of me.
As for other media, I am a big fan of the TV shows Doctor Who, Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. My favorite movies are Dead Poet's Society (predictable, I know), Moonrise Kingdom and The Shawshank Redemption. Music-wise, I listen mostly to rock, the softer, darker kind. Bands like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Doors...I like Lana del Rey and Gotye a lot though.
I look forward to meeting all of you :)
Greetings, all :D
A Tale of Two Cities was the fourth Dickens book I read as a teenager, and I loved it! It is so difficult to pick my favorite Dickens book but Charles Darnay is easily one of my favorite characters of all time!Quote:

I agree, Darnay is a great character; him and Dr. Manette are my two favorites.
Hi everyone,
I am 33 years old and i come from this country very far away, where people used to be great writers, all of them, Rousseau, Balzac, Louis Ferdinand Celine, Bob Marley (yes, he is actually born in a city called "Toulouse" and wrote two excellent novels, undercover), but something happened... and now we do not even win the world cup or anything, this place is a mess and our lives just depend on cheese production and weapons exportations. That is France, yeah, come and visit us soon !
Appart from my useless nationality (i am like cancer or bad knees, i have no borders), i like very much writing ! Oh yes i do. I write all kind of things, from mementos to love songs, i also write cereals notice, just for the fun. My great project is to re-write the holy bible, in a more popular version, maybe four or five pages only, with jokes in it and less characters, only Jesus actually, who is my favorite, because of the shoes and i don't know why really, just like Jennifer Lopez, i love her and i don't know why, but with a smaller ***.
Anyway, i take every kind of medication, i love pommel-horse and, in 10 years, i see myself living on royalties of a song i wrote cause i am also playing the guitar, the song is called "Baby, you're gonna love your man" and i hope it will hit the top of the pop soon.
My english is not perfect, and i think this is great, and i don't know what else i could say.
Oh... yes, one last thing :
If i was a fruit, i would be a strawberry, because i don't know many fruits-names in english.
I am gonna read your stories now and i hope i will like and understand it.
Bye now.

Hello! I'm Gervaise, or Gervais, or Katie, whatever you want. The name comes from the really minor character Petit Gervais from Les Miserables, which is one of my favorite books (the E came in the end after a friend pointed out that Gervaise would be feminine, after I had already made an account on another site under the name Gervais.) I'm probably going to be mostly lurking on here, to be honest. 16 year old female, southeastern US, not sure if major will be English or music.
To butt in on the conversation above, I love Tale of Two Cities as well.
Hello everybody!
I'm coming from distant, cold country - ladies and gentleman, I'm glad I can welcome you from Poland ;) I'm in a highschool and I read almost everything, but I prefer fantasy books and crime fiction. And poetry, of course. If you were wondering what the name 'Hlin' means - well, Norse mythology is fascinating, isn't it? ;>

My name is Zahilara Bennett, and I'm a university student. Writing has always been my passion and I'm always looking for ways to make my writing better. I'm working on a novel and wish that I can get it published some day. I'm studying English at university as well, because really that's all I'm good at, though I've dabbled a little in physics and calculus as well. I have a passion for languages and want to learn French and Spanish and Russian and a whole bunch of other languages. My poetry sucks but I want to get better with that too.
I like watching tv shows and am obsessed with music; I listen to music for about 94% of my waking hours. I'm rather insane and childish, but can behave myself when forced to.
It's really great to meet you all and hope I figure how to use this site, because I'm kind of a technological dunce.
Wow. There are so many talented people here. Oh well, I guess we all have to start somewhere.
Hello, I am an undergraduate student, about to appear for my second year exams. Literature has always been the comforting place that I keep on revisiting time and again. I feel like there is something magical about curling up with a good book and getting lost in its pages. I talk a lot and love asking questions. I tried studying both science and commerce but finally realised that Literature is the thing from me. I am an Indian, from Calcutta actually but I hope to get into Harvard one day and so here's where my saga begins. I have three years before I can apply and I would really appreciate all the help I can get. Forgive me if I go crazy asking for suggestions and questions, but I can't help it. I just don't want to be ordinary.
Let's see, what next? I LOVE cooking. I can spend hours reading up on recipes and techniques. Literature and food really make up most of my interests. I draw sometimes too, mostly comic characters that I like, like Asterix, Getafix etc. In my spare time, I play first person shooters. I am currently trying to learn Spanish ( I must spend more time on it) and will take up French and German next year. This year I turn 21, a milestone coming up. I love listening to music and I'm also the nocturnal kind.
I also sometimes tend to go on blabbing until some one stops me. :D
I should stop now. I'm looking forward to making new friends and discussing Tennyson, Browning and a whole lot more. :)

I am a high school student, I live in the great southern state of Florida, My favorite sport is hockey, favorite team is Florida Panthers. My favorite music is COUNTRY. Also I have two pets (a dog and a cat). I really love animals (though I am not a vegetarian, however I do not eat beef and I obviously do not eat dog, cat, or horse. I am also opposed to rodeos and bullfights.
Hello, I've been surfing around here for some time and I finally decided to register and try to be part of this awesome community.
Hm... I should say some things about me. Let's see. I'm a 15 years old girl living in Europe, Romania. I like writing more in English that in my mother tongue (it also applies for my reading preferences). My first experience with the English language was in my childhood when I happened to come by some comic books and manga - i was totally fascinated as a child. Later I began to read books and even started to write myself. Although I have a strong interest in literature, the subjects that I study in school are IT, mathematics and natural science. Anyway, i plan to get a major in literature no matter what. ^^
I started with writing fan fiction then I built up some courage and finished a few short stories, I sincerely can't wait to share them and get some opinions.
My favorite author so far is actually Japanese - Asano Atsuko - and I fallen in love with all her works (the thought of learning Japanese only to understand her work better crossed my mind a few times).
I like listening to music, I don't have many preferences when it comes to genre, but I consider Whitney Huston a great voice and I think Hugh Laurie is as good as a musician as he is an actor. ^^
I'm really into tv series like: Game of Thrones, House, Pillars of the Earth, How i met your mother, Big Bang Theory, Sherlock UK, Suits, Prison Break, Shameless US, Skins UK... and many others.
That's all for now... Nice to meet you! ^^
Hello
Hello - Exchange student in Ireland - from Denmark
Wow this looks really cool!
Hey everybody, very nice to meet you and find this site
Greetings from America
And greetings from Havertoo.
Greeting everyone,
I am Dario Puaca, a dreamer, visionary, amateur blogger and writer.
My favorite sector of blogging is the mobile game and technologies industry, anything related to that.
Also my biggest project yet a video game.
Open for discussions and ideas.
Pixunit: Are there limits?
Hello everyone,
This looks like an amazing forum to discuss literature, and I'm looking forward to having some good discussions here.
Hi, everyone!
Heyyy all, just registered to this site, looking forward to interesting discussions here and participating in them. My favorite literature is Sub-continental, may be because I belong to this place and plainly showing favoritism - winks. However, I read O. Henry in my last semester (undergrad lit. student) and quite liked his writing style and the way he puts a twist at the end of his stories, a very pleasing tinge. Am I going into literature talk? Ok, I think only saying Hi would suffice for this thread.
Cheers!
Hello everyone! I'm new and I've just signed up to share my ideas and to ask you guys for some help and feedback perhaps! I'm thinking that writing alone isn't the best way, so for an audience to read my stuff, then maybe I can improve what I do write!
I look forward to reading everyone's fiction and I hope you enjoy reading mine too!
Nice to be here.
My Mom died 4 weeks ago and we were best friends AND lived together so I'm feeling rather at odds. Don't know what to do with myself now that I don't have anyone to chat with. We were both avid readers and I'm a writer too. So I thought I would come here and see what everyone else is writing and perhaps have some intelligent conversations. That seems to be lacking at FaceBook. Over at FB it seems like a ticker of information goes by but I never get down to what a person is thinking and feeling. So I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say.
Love L-L
Hello,
I found this site with a search for online reading clubs. After registering I saw the recommendation to make a first post to introduce yourself & it seemed like a good idea. I live in the USA, work full-time & teach classes part time at the local college.
The books that I like to read are philosophical type novels, Dostoevsky, Hesse, Mann, Simone De Beauvoir, etc. Currently I have just started with "The Idiot". Many times I found myself thinking about an idea or a situation from whatever current book I'm reading at the time and I have thoughts of how nice it would be to discuss that. Being in the technology field I don't find people that share my interest in these books & ideas; and my family is not much interested either. Although there have been ample opportunity to discuss "The Jersey Shore" or "The Kardashians" with my kids but I have managed to resist that temptation! I tease them about how those shows kill brain cells & they tease me about my books being for nerds. Actually they are very smart; I still can’t understand how they can watch this. Maybe it’s like a gory car accident.
I am happy to find the site. Hopefully I would like to find a small group to choose a book to read and discuss from beginning to end.

Hi frndz.............
Hope we will have great time here......
Hi, everyone, I am Zoe. I am not an English speaker. I really like literature but I can’t express my feelings in English fluently after reading because my English is so poor. I always keep silent when I need to speak in public. It makes me go crazy. I try to say more and know more so I come here. I hope I could get some courage and overcome my shortcoming. Thank you.
Hey. New here. I'm an aspiring writer working on getting an ebook published. Haven't worked with my profile so I'm not sure what info will be there. Besides, half the fun is finding out stuff along the way.

Hi, I'm chris. Thanks for being a resource to writers.
Hello, everyone. My name's Intelligence, but a lot of people call me Intel for short. I'm in high school, and I spend a lot of my time with some form of art. I greatly enjoy writing and martial arts, but my favorite pastime and art is actually music. I've played the flute and other assorted wind instruments for a long time now. It's worth noting that I enjoy video games as much as the next guy. Dark Souls has got to be my favorite, but I love the Legend of Zelda series dearly. I draw inspiration from many of the games I play to shape my writing and music, which I think creates a pretty nice style that likes to do what it wants rather than what I try to tell it to do. I came here because I wanted to actually develop my writing ability, so I figured having people other than me critique it would be helpful. Maybe this way I'll stop abandoning so many good ideas and continuing with so many bad ones.
Hi, kids. I did not know such a forum existed. I am a blogger and write for several sites. I am currently working on a screen play. It will be my first. Glad to meet ya.
Hi, everyone, I just signed up and this is, of course, my first post. My name is Valentina Cano and I am a poet with a brand new chapbook out in the world as of two days ago. It's always awkward to talk about oneself like this but here I go: I am an avid reader and writer, a classical singer, an animal lover who has a lot of pets (including five spoiled snakes) and an amateur quilter. I'm originally from Uruguay but moved to Miami when I was nine and have remained here until now. The Chudney Agency represents my fiction manuscripts and my poetry has appeared in numerous literary magazines.
That's enough about me. I hope to get to know some of you better!
Don't be shy.
I'm Jett Black and won't say I've just joined because why else would I be posting here? Duh! I just said it!
I'm a writer and a poet and a dreamer and I will go sort out my profile now.
