herrooowwww :) I just signed up cuz i was bored i actually dont read too much. But When i do start reading, its like addicting. Im pretty sure my favorite book would have to be "Go Ask Alice" or "The Body Of Christopher Creed" I also like random things, like buttons :) and I LOVE POPCORN :) so yah..
Greetings everyone, I have signed up mostly because I do not read much, similar to the poster above. I'm 16, and I'm not very educated, I hope to clear that up, both grammar wise (I'm foreign, too), and book wise. Forums often help me become more knowledgeable in a subject, so, here I am.
Among school books, my favorites are Slaughterhouse Five, Fahrenheit 451, Catcher in the Rye. Otherwise, I read mostly sci-fi authors, like Clifford Saimak and Issac Asimov. I am hoping to read more of classic books, though.
And a cookie to whoever knows where my nick originated from. :D

Ciao.
For many moons I've been looking for a good lit forum with people like me who love to read and discuss books. So this is very exciting.
I don't have any favorite author: I haven't read enough.
As far as novels are concerned, my favorite favorites are A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court, The Count of Monte Cristo, Notre Dame de Paris, The Gates of Zion, A Daughter of Zion, David Copperfield, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Prydain Cycle, The Angel's Command, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
But perhaps the best novels have yet to be written.
Well, you found it Adagio. Welcome.
And welcome to all the other newbies. I can't keep up with you all.
Hi all! Enjoy your stay here. :)
Hi all i am only fifteen and have be limited to the amount of literature i have been exposed to i was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to how to change it or just teach me some more about famous literature
thanks
:D Hi! I bumped into a site that linked me to this forum, and without further ado, I signed up. It's quite fascinating to see hundreds of people here who share a common passion... the love for literature. I'm mostly into classic lit. But I am starting to adore the contemporary ones.
Hope to learn a lot from this forum!
You should visit General Literature section, there you would find some really good recommendations. :)Quote:

Hi everyone,
This is just a brief introduction.
I am 50 years old. I am a self taught (or should that be "self teaching"? I'm not sure) artist. (Abstract Painting)
I live and paint in Porthleven Cornwall u.k
I'm afraid my social skills are minimal.
I have recently started reading more so picked up a whole bunch of "Classics"
from the library sale.
You all sound like interesting people.
Oh I forgot to say, I worked for a long time in a psychiatric hospital and then as an art teacher.
Kind regards-Charles.
You are welcome. :)Quote:
