Hi everyone!

I wanted to take the time and introduce myself. I am currently enrolled in college in New York. I am working on a history degree with secondary education.

I found this forum when I was lookig for reviews on Animal Farm. I am very excited to join this community and hope to find help and fun while here!:p

Hi, finally got the courage to write my 2nd post. My main interest are reading (mainly mysteries) and just finished last week, JK Rowling's last Harry Potter book, bridge and use the computer.

Welcome to LitNet, Geminimoon and rcharney! LitNet is TONS of fun. You won't regret joining, trust me. :) Have fun and I hope to talk to you in the not too distant future. Next Sunday, A.D., maybe? :p

Welcome Rcharney and Geminimoon [lovely name :)]. This is a great site, with so much going on. It is not just a site about literature. But also about the people who 'populate' Lit Net and make it so much fun. You can partake in everything form short-story writing [there's also an annual competition], haiku's, games and get into serious debates about everything from Aritostole to Zola!

Hi all! brimstone here :)
I'm 18 years old and live in London. I signed up here due to the fact that the forum I currently use has a very poor literature section, and I wanted to come somewhere I could discuss it properly.
I'm looking forward to getting all sorts of literary recommendations and discovering loads of new authors - despite the fact my reading list currently consists of fourteen books!
Anyways, just wanted to say hi :)

Hello. I...errrgh! I sit here wishing to have something super cool to say (being the newest kid on the block) and I have drawn a blank. Whaaaa! Oh well. How-di-do! Nice to make your acquaintance!

Welcome brimstone! This is certainly the place to get proper lit discussion! Lots of smart,well-read people happy to oblige.

Welcome Lolalilu! I too am often lost for words :p :)

Hi rcharney, lolalilu, Geminimoon and brimstone! I hope you all like it here in this forum! :)

Hello everyone! I accidentally found this forum while searching for some direction in which books I should read. I am particularly interested in philosophy, law, sociologiy and partialy in history but i also enjoy an occasional book for pure brain relaxing:) I hope that I will read some interesting thoughts and that all of you will not mind my limited knowledge of philospohy and literature in general. I am studying a law faculty. I am also fond of music (love Radiohead). One last thing, my english is vary bad in the best case scenario so please don't be overcritical:thumbs_up

welcome Barlo! Join in and have fun.

I'm just now reading Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey and just today purchased The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Gaskell. I was just surfing around for information on Elizabeth Gaskell when I found your site.

I'm a bookseller for a major chain. I live in Southern California with my husband of 28 (almost 29) years. Our son is a fourth year student at UCLA. I'm first and foremost a bookworm, and I feel I have fairly eclectic taste. It's probably obvious that I love the Brontës and their ilk. (I'm more a fan of Charlotte and Anne than Emily).

some favorite titles:

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff

The Secret of Lost Things by Sheridan Hay

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

Following the Equator by Mark Twain

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

(I'm sure I'm missing some favorite titles. I love so many books!)

My favorite genres are literature, popular fiction, travel literature, books about books, biography, and mystery.

I think I was born to be a bookseller. I love my job! I even handsell books to friends when I'm not at work, lol!

I'm also an avid Bookcrosser. (If you've not yet heard of bookcrossing.com, check it out!) I am MissTree on Bookcrossing. (If you join, I'd appreciate being listed as the referer.) We are a very fun, eclectic group of people whose main hobby is to spread literacy and good vibes by leaving books (labeled with an identification number) in public spots for people to find. The finder may remain anonymous. The hope is that, whether anonymous or not, the finder will write a journal entry describing his or her experience with the book. It's even better if the finder releases the book in his turn for someone else to find and help the book continue its journey.

I guess that was a pretty long introduction, lol, so I'll stop here.

Hello everyone,

I'm Marijn, from The Netherlands, 29 years of age. Though English is not my "native tongue" I think I've a good comprehension of English grammar and vocabulary. English Literature is an important part of my life, my personal education. Still reading and re-reading.

At this moment my main interests are William Blake, D H Lawrence, rereading Moby Dick; more longterm on Keats and Byron and Shakespeare.

Loved Hemingway's The old man and the sea, and had more then once some good fun with catch-22.
