Hi,
I'm a 21 year old university student from Scotland.
I've just come across this forum - I don't usually participate in message boards or anything like that, but I have very few friends with any interest in literature so I hope being involved here might make up for that!
Welcome!.. where abouts in Scotland?Quote:

Hello, all. New to site. Found this site in search. I'm a poet, editing my first collection of poems for publication. I was initially drawn to this site because I have 2 lit questions that have bugged me for years. Now I see there may be more here for me that I thought!
Not ready to share much about me at this time. Suffice to say that my favorite type of literature is biography-history-poetry-fictional international intrigue-scifi-fantasy-mystery. Since I have yet to find that one perfect book that includes all of this, I'll just have to keep reading until I find it! Or maybe after I publish my first poetry collection, I'll just write it.
Oh, to be clear, I was told early in life I had a "gift" for writing (whatever that is!), but had no interest in pursuing a lit career. Ended up in math and science, then in the IT sector, then provided management consulting services for many years. Now semi-retired, playing music, building instruments, doing community service work, and writing.
Hi and werlcome :) Mayb with thime you`ll share with us a piece of your work?Quote:

Hello all, just joined in the middle of this cold wet night...
Hello.
I'm new here joined today on 17th 4th 2014 and I love Science Fiction, some horror Films and some Action Films so much I sometimes do writing stories of my favorite genres science fiction never get my stories complete. I don't think their good enough for really publishing as a book got great titles for them and characters hero and villain just words I struggle with coming up with words hope you can help me here with grammer. Is what I come on for. If I don't get it published it might help me getting grammer right online. I also like wet and messy fun please don't let that put you off me I'm not a bimbo just you can't be watching tele all the time so some other activity of some sports or whatever so I don't like playing football nor do much sports so I do wet and messy as another way of keeping active and my fun and enjoyment. Please don't let that put you off me. I'm friendly. I'm friends with anyone don't care what race or background are from. I don't Smoke nor drink beer a lot and I don't drive and single. I sell Home and some cosmetics products.
I'm the author Benjamin Anderson--please check out my thread in introductions.
My favorite books are by Steinbeck. His book Travels With Charley was assigned reading in school around the time I kindled my passion for writing, and it likely inspired my trip across the US at eighteen. I have enjoyed A. Lee Martinez when I need to cool down. In the Company of Ogres was by far his best book, a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts.
Hi all,
My interest are:
Comparative Literature and Mythology
Narrative, specially novels
Studying religious texts from a literatury perspective.
Literary Theory
I studied electrical engineering and currently a masters in humanities with literature focus, online, basically I got tired of self-taught learning, because I felt I didn't have direction, however I'm starting to get a better perspective to learn by my self more effectively and turned into a MOOC junkie =)
I'm also interested in narrative in manga/anime/videogames and teaching.
My current projects are:
-Reading the Bible (jew, catholic, christian and orthodox) from a literary perspective.
-Research on character design based on two factor models of personality for a game script.
-Survive work and school
Happy to be here!

Not sure, about this format, but.... I am "Tom Hudson", living in Asia, born in NY City, lived my teens on both northern coasts of the US, my late twenties & thirties I spent in Urban city social work in the US, and finally over to the Himalayan Mt.s in the late 1980's on through 1997 ish.... then in the new century , I lived in Colorado, with jaunts back over into the Himalayan Mt.s to keep the fires burning, and now settled back into life in Nepal. I have a wonderful wife who has done it ALL with me hand in hand, and we have seen our four children come and be raised with us as we have lived this adventure, and they are a joy to me as they gleefully carry on in their lives to higher things.
Over the years, a constant in the mix of much activity and work has been a tie and bonding with Literature. Tho the locations and activities have been varied, there has been "those certain boxes" of my "must have with me books" that have been toted all over the world....
So," HI!"
I found you while I was looking up some reference to a Oscar Wilde essay with his ol' Sphinx in it.
So, let's see how "this" works!
Helloooo. Look Forward To Meeting Some New People and Learning Lots and Lots MORE !
A warm hello to you all.
I am a writer of fact-fiction thrillers, conspiracy-based. Insiders know that this genre is more a matter of research than writing in the first place. This summer of 2014 my first novel appears in the US after it was translated from Dutch to US-English.
Time for a little experiment. I expose the genre with the use of keywords. Please respond if you feel attracted by one or another.
Here we go:
Japan, mythology, myth, holy grail, shrine, imperial, suspense, mercenary, jews, shinto, priest, kunaicho, Emperor, relic, regalia, action, sun goddess, Yata no Kagami, 12 tribes of Israel.
That's all.
Best of luck!
Ben

Hi everyone! I'm from austria - no, not australia ;). Like all of you I'm in to books. One of my favorite authors: Arthur Schnitzler.
Hello all!
This is actually a re-introduction. I originally joined in 2005, but have been very busy with my business and also pursuing first a masters, and now a doctoral degree in medieval history at Fordham. As of this writing I am awaiting approval of my doctoral dissertation proposal, at which point I will be an ABD. Today is my birthday, and I decided to re-visit here after receiving a birthday greeting. It may be an automated greeting, but it did remind me of this forum, which is part of its purpose.
Take care all!
Richard

hello people, i am santananda, santa means tranquility or peace, and nanda is "to be happy with" so that is my pali name given by my burmese master in myanmar because i am a theravadist monk for 5 years already. I love learning english through reading books. All most of my time is spent on meditation, i love meditation. Meditation is a kind of mental work- look within not in books but in your mind. I had studied french for 4 years at university, and german in 2 years, unluckily i forget all of them. You know there was a sense of great loss in my heart when i forget french over 10 years i have not used it. Then i made a decision not to learn anything i have found a way for myself : meditation, the more i practice SATI-mindfulness meditation the clearer my mind is getting. I come here just by chance to find something to read during my out-stay of meditation. on 18 june i have a long special retreat again in Myanmar. Hopefully to be accapted as a member here to learn something from You. Thank you! May you be healthy, happy and peaceful always! My motto is "Life is Meditation is Life"
Hello everyone. I'm Sayak, a 3rd year Statistics undergraduate. I would love to know people here and even more about books and authors.
Hello~ I'm moonless-sky (well, you already saw my username...) and I'm new to this forum :D (huh, obviously! since I'm in this thread xD ) I'm a fellow bookworm who's addicted to both modern and classical literature :) I hope we'll all get to spend a nice time on here~
hello Sayak :D I see we're both new on this forum so I hope we'll get along and exchange ideas :3 take care~
hi~ I enjoy meditating quite a lot myself, so it sparked my interest xD though I do wonder if we have the same concept of it in first place...Quote:

Hi just thought I would say hello and introduce myself, I am new to this site and just warning you I have dyslexia so I apologise in advance for any spelling mistakes but I am working on it :).
I love to write and read, the latter being the activity that I most enjoy, and science which I love, mainly chemistry and biology. Definitely NOT physics.
I am currently in high school and working towards my GCSE's which I am not looking forward too. I love the classics and I am studying Latin and Ancient History.
Hi, all.
I've majored in English-creative writing and been living far away from literature.
While working, suddenly I missed this reading writing thinking community and came back to breathe the musty air of books again...
Starting with "Lycidas" by John Milton, I hope to dive into the world of literature!
So. Umm.
Well...
Hi.
*twitch*
I study Computer Science. I like reading. A lot. So do you.
*runs away*
I'm SleepWriter! There's really not much for me to say. I love historical fiction and fantasy! I'm a bookworm and PROUD OF IT! I hope one day to become a published author with all my heart and no one is going to stop me.
Oh and as long as I'm here let me explain my username. I love to write and sometimes it helps me fall asleep. It's just so calming XD Weird I know but eh I'm a weird person! So thus my name SleepWriter was born.
Any questions?
*everyone raises their hands *
None? Good! So I'm out. PEACE! :3
