I joined the Literature Network Forums because I am sure that I will be able to improve my general comprehension of English, as well as broaden my knowledge of the world's greatest literature.
My favourite series of books would have to be that of Game of Thrones, I am absolutely loving reading through these books, and as you may probably have guessed, my favourite author is George R. R. Martin.

I have been a member of different forums before, however many of them lack quality and substance, the majority of which feature low quality members and poor content. I have been told that this site is very different.
So, I hope to learn and contribute equally to these forums, and I hope that you all have a great day. :)

Hello Pedro!

Welcome!

Welcome Pedro:) Bienvenido aqui:)

Hi everyone. My name is Jess, and I'm an English Major in my 3rd year of University. I absolutely love analysing literature and finding new interpretations that I may not have thought of before; I always find it really interesting, and I love reading and writing outside of school too. Anime/manga are also one of my favorite types of literature and shows :)

I'm also taking French and German; French because I want to be a French teacher after University, and German because I have a lot of family in Austria and being able to talk to them when they visit, or whenever I visit them would probably be a pretty good idea.

Other than that, I make jewellery in my spare time, record creepypasta (scary stories) readings and volunteer at my local library in my spare time, and I'm starting to get into tutoring. I can't wait to get to know everyone! And drop me a message if you'd like to talk ^_^

Hello:)

Welcome and congrats if it comes to your novel.

Hi , I've just joined.

I became a serious book lover just a few years ago. Then, after some time, I wanted to be around those who share the same interest and googled online communities for books/literature discussion.

I will contribute as much as I could. Later~

Hello everyone! I am currently reading through the Great Books of the Western World 10 year reading plan. I also produce and upload videos relating to these books on YouTube.

Hello all. Just joined and about to start looking around.
I'm an author of several books on both archaeology and physics.

Hello fellow readers! I am a retired Thaumatologist living
in the Midlands UK, and have a great interest in all things
literary,spiritual,and musical!

hello.

hi everyone. i am Praveen from chennai . this is my first post here.

I guess it would be polite to introduce myself. I'm Bum, an American, recently retired and living in Taipei, Taiwan. I have been returning to the things that my professional life denied me the time for, especially travel and serious reading. In the meantime I sit at cafés and watch the Far East hustle or wiggle earnestly by.

I actually haunted this site for a few months before posting the other day. I wanted to be a member because of the intelligence and maturity I observed, because people usually lay off each other's politics, and because of the general atmosphere of respect and lack of cyber-bullying here. Thanks to whoever is responsible for that.

I don't think many remember me. I've been away for quite a long while, so I thought I'd drop a hi hereabouts.

Hi friendy! Good to see you active! http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_clap.gif http://smiles.kolobok.us/remake/bye.gif

Hello there...

I'm from the often-maligned country known as Romania. Besides my native language, I also speak fluently English and, to a lesser degree, Portuguese. Also read in French, but not without a dictionary nearby.

I have an obsession for reading and writing poetry, so that is my main field; unlike most people, I'm not very keen on novels. 1) Shorter prose is better for my attention-span; 2) Many novels are written as a whole, while I am fond for the Fragment, if I may say so; 3) I am and will remain a convinced escapist. As lower middle-class as I am, I can't push aside aesthetics. I'm the kind who can admire an American abstract painting, for instance, and ignore for that moment the ridiculously high auction price of such a simplistic work of art... That doesn't mean I dislike by default a fairly realist painting or a rather straightforward novel, which may have instead a certain flavor or atmosphere. Alright, enough with the pretentious theory...

I'm deeply rooted into the tradition (yes, tradition) of modernism, of the avant-garde, so much of what I read and write belongs to that field. I owe a lot to the French and American early modernists (the gamut from Rimbaud to Whitman) and to avant-garde figures such as Tristan Tzara, who is sadly neglected in Romania (for many reasons)... Dadaism, concrete poetry, conceptual poetry - you name it. I see different kinds of beauty rather than anti-poetry (or anti-art) or plain gimmickry.

Since I live in a city where the few other artists and writers around are unambitious (if not obviously kitsch), off-line and on-line I get often rash in debates with people who throw in the towel in front of books like Tender Buttons (my current obsession) or Finnegans Wake and claim "this is worthless babble" or "these are just... experiments, not good literature". Then I realize that... I'm not thankful enough for having the Internet to meet people with tastes as eccentric as mine! So I move on and resume gardening my all-too-personal tastes. Even on FB, I prefer posting links to stuff I love rather than pointing fingers at all the things that are wrong about the world (there are always too many of them). Can't change the world, but I can at least take care of my corner. And I am either too serious or too relative about things, but that's the way I am.

Hi Yigru, nice to meet a polyglot here. :) I have no clue why you call your country 'oft-maligned' and I'm not so keen about poetry (I'm a novel girl), but I agree wholeheartedly that internet has helped many of us to meet people the likes of whom are not present in our physical location. I totally get that sense of being 'too serious' or 'too relative'. Been accused of the same but like you I'm happy the way I am.

Hy Everyone!
I am Haroldy a big bookworm :D.
I really happy to find this forum I hope I'll find some interesting things here :)

My favorites books:
The Catcher in The Rye
City of Glass
The Hobbit
Divergent

I'm 55 years old, double nickels if you like, ugly as a robber's dog, single, and live out in the sticks in Australia. I write when the mood strikes me, mostly strange stories. I don't know if you would call them ghost stories or horror stories, or just yarns from the dark side. That's about it for now.

hi im new here

Hi,

I am a frustrated writer from the North of England. Frustrated due to the fact that I am told that I have a talent for writing, poetry mainly, and I haven't a clue what to do with it.
I have joined this forum because I believe that it offers the opportunity to learn from an ecletic range of like minded enthusiastic lovers of literature.
I look forward to future conversations.

hi to everyone..I'm a newbie...

Hello Writers! I have not been a dedicated writer. In fact, it's been 25 years since I use to write for a little Christian newsletter up in the twin cities. Now I enjoy telling a few funny stories of things that have happened to me and occasionally kick out a poem.

Hello,

Welcome to the forums, janicetolentino and SOul23 and goodluck.

Hey, I'm new on here, and oh, gosh, there are posts from 2005 on here. Does this site get used regularly? :/

Oh, hold on I'm just looking around this site, there are some recent posts. Sorry guys, newbie here :p

Testing the comment section. Hello

Hi there,
I'm a college freshman, who plans to go into vocal performance, so I can sing classical music for a living and potentially become a college professor for voice with a PhD. I thought of becoming an English major at first, but then I changed my mind. Now, have to wait for my audition with the Conservatory be well-prepared and hope to get in. In the end, I decided to go for a career in music because it's something I work really hard at all the time and feel passionate about when I continue to improve. I'm great at English, and I still love it, but the thought of sitting at a career as an English professor or teacher teaching bratty kids all day bugs me, and I always always procrastinate writing a papers.
I'm a bookworm, when I get the chance to read for fun, and my favorite book is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I also love Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. I really enjoy gothic literature.

hi everyone, pleased to be here .. it seems to be a real rich place to know and learn more about life.

Hello! So this Is all very new to me but I am excited to grow as a writer and writing somewhere, where I can get feedback is something I am truly looking for. I am 25 a stay at home mom of 2 (5 & 3). Because I had kids early I never really gave myself that chance to find what I really wanted to do with the rest of my life other than be a mother. Now that my kids are getting older I have been divulging in things that I truly enjoy and apart from singing, drawing and anything crafty I have found a love for writing. I have been dabbling in short stories and loving it. I live In central Alberta Canada and have my whole life. Nothing much more about me but feel free to ask. My profile has some more Info thanks for listening :)
