a big hello and welcome to all the newbies! Hope you enjoy your time here on Litnet! Its not just a site, its a community!

Welcome All!!!! :wave:

Hello everyone. I am sooo excited to have stumbled upon this site. I absolutely love to read the classics. I am glad to see that their are sooo many people like me. I am currently reading DHL Women in Love, and Wila Cather O pioneers. And now a little more about me>>>>I am a happily married Mom of 3 beautiful children...all under the age of 6. I have my under grad. in Liberal studies with a concentration in English. I am currently studying for my teaching test, in hopes, to be a high school English Language Arts teacher. So, in closing, I look forward to the reading of more books and the meetings of more people!!!!:yawnb:

Hi. I'm also glad I've found this site. I love most types of writing. Ever since I was really little I have always admired certain books and writers including Dostoyevsky, Henry James, J.D Salinger, Sylvia Plath,Saul Bellow,William Styron and John Steinbeck etc. I could go on forever. I am currently at senior school in North England but I hope to study English and philosophy at Cambridge. I can't think of anything else to say except hiya!

Hello and welcome!:wave:

I hope the new folks come to love the site as much as I and so many others do. Hope you enjoy! :)

Hi. it is toataly enchanting to be able to have my own page. If you are wondering who I am, you'll just have to keep on wondering. That's one of my specialties. I am at the moment trying to write a book, my good friend Andya is helping me, and is the one who introduced me to this. This is a toataly blithful website. I like lots of differnt kind of music, celtic, vocal, and my favorite music country. But I am toataly into fantisy. As I call myself a Fantisy Freak and a Country Freak. i have written several several poems and one or two songs (none of them published.) I will give you something to think on as i leave. if you died to night, what would you leave behind you when you go? think deeply apon this and answer this carefully. i will be intreged to find out. i must depart for now. Peace, a friend, Amanda Rea.

p.s. Atra esterni ono thelduin. if you want to know what i am saying you have to read the book "Eldest".

Hi - I'm new (obviously!) and may be more of a lurker than a "real" contributing member. I enjoy many different genre both of prose and poetry as well as music. I guess I'm generally eclectic.

About me - Orthodox Christian, Wife, Mother, Grandmother - and happy in all those roles. Currently disabled, but I was a RN back when. Have advanced degrees in nursing from 3 different universities, but nursing isn't my only interest. I'm "into" computers, woodworking (less now that I'm disabled), politics (don't get me started, I'm ***very*** conservative), and visiting with my virtual friends on various fora, although I seldom post much.

Glad y'all are here.

Hey everybody. I'm new here, so I figured instead of just creeping around looking for something I felt I could contribute to, I would introduce myself. Just because that's the kind of lady I'm not... Moving on.....

I'm from Alberta. My friends all hate to read. My dad and my brother hate to read and my mother reads the stupidest books ever written. So I needed a place I could discuss literature and hopefully find some people with the same tastes I have. I really really really dislike Shakespeare...alot. I love George Orwell and Edgar Allen Poe. Ummm. Forums are fun! YAY!

Hi everyone, welcome! This place is abso-spiffin-lutely gorgeous!

Hellow there Andya. i'm just sending this to see how my profile looks. how do you like my fairy?

very nice my friend. Try private messaging me though, this thread's supposed to be for introductions. I'll pm you first so you can see how it works ;)

hellow there all you anchanting creatures of the world i'm still a new creature to this world, but i can promise you this is most enchanting. i'm just writing thi to show my of the magical creature friends how my blog looks. thanks for looking at this. Peace, Argentlam

Hey there, I'm new to the Literature Forum, glad to be here that's for sure... I live in a remote area of Australia, so there is precisely no-one to discuss literature with, much less Gustave Flaubert, my main man-of-letters. Love to hear from anyone at all interested in Flaubert, Hardy, Orwell, and any/all poets. I love Hafiz and Emily Dickinson particularly. Salutations, G.

Welcome genevie! Sounds like some great texts

Greetings all you fellow travellers in the universe of literature!

I have enjoyed following some of the threads here in the forum for a little while: The thread dedicated to reading and discussing D.H. Lawrence's collected short stories one at a time is a tour de force; very interesting to read for the personal insights, and an inspiration to undertake a personal reading of Lawrence's short stories. The book of the month project is also a wonderful idea, and I hope to be able to participate in the future -- Wilde is up next, is he?!

As to me, I do not know that there is so very much to tell. Like many before me, and around here, I live a quiet life of desperation. Film, literature and music are the things that keep me sane and propel me through life. Unfortunately I have no personal friends or acquaintances, who share these passions. So, the internet it is -- how fortunate that there are places like this forum, and how really sad that it in many ways is the only recourse to meet and discuss something as central to life as literature.

I am a young Dane (who is perhaps not so young any longer), who has chosen to reside in Sweden. My years so far have been scattered across the Western hemisphere -- Germany, Virginia, Denmark, Chicago, Michigan, Bruxelles, very briefly London, and now Malmö. As far back as I can remember, I have always had a love affair, if not with literature as such, then at least with the written word, the telling of stories. At 15 I discovered "literature," at 25 I was convinced that I would eventually make my way through all of world literature (for a while I was a little like the young girl in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, who is going through the card file at the library, and reading everything in alphabetical order), a dream-ambition that I gradually abandoned over the next decade. And now, I just read...

As mentioned, film is another great passion of mine, and I have been a fairly active member of www.criterionforum.org for the past year. Finding that I have enjoyed that experience, and actually learned a lot, I decided to find a similar forum dedicated to literature. That is really the story so far. I look forward to being a member here, and sometimes hopefully contributing something to the discussion.
