Hi everybody,

Im Allen from Toledo, OH and have been a Joycean for over 35 years. Ive studied, on scholarship, at Univ College, Dublin, as well. I am currently reading Dante's The Divine Comedy and loving it. I cannot wait to go to Florence lol! I also am very well read and knowledgable about Faulkner. My Secret Pleasure is Crime Fiction!

Intriguing forum name, central european perhaps. Welcome to LitNet!
Hello,
I am Richard, nice to be here. Hope to learn ad contribute to this learning forum.
Richard.
Hello, all. I wanted to take a moment to stop in to say hello before I start posting. I'm Nash and I'm a high school English teacher in Tucson, AZ, USA. I hope to be able to gain some valuable insight to readings as well as provide feedback to this well connected and diverse environment.
Welcome all to LitNet! I hope you'll like the forum. I,m looking forward to your contributions. :)
Hello everyone !
Hi :) I'm (obviously) new here and excited to get to know this community in a better way.
I'll be posting around so I don't think there's a need to describe myself here. I just hope to find interesting discussion topics and of course, new friends!.
I'm a native spanish speaker and know how hard it can be to find people who speak the language in most forums so don't hesutate to talk to me if you want to :)
Welcome. Even as a native Spanish-speaker your English is excellent!
Welcome, Anne Elliot. There are some good discussions of Jane Austen here, who given your name I imagine you admire.
I am unfailingly impressed by the number of posters whose first language is not English.
Hi all, brand, spanking, new! :)
Thought I'd drop on in and introduce myself. I'm a kiwi (New Zealander) for those who are unfamiliar with the term 'Kiwi' and try to associate me with the fruit, I may be fruity but I'm not bonkers yet! lol
I love to read, write, draw, create, spend time with my kids - (Sometimes) hey they are teenagers, what's to like? lol
I've got one book published and another on the way, well when I finish the second one, when I say it's on the way it is, though time frame wise, I never said in what year that would be? lol
I don't like winter (Go away winter) I love summer (Bring it on)
Well that's about it for now, much more to say, of course. But I'd like to keep part of me a mystery, ha ha ha
Its the bird, the kiwi, not fruit, native to NZ. I am sure you as a NZer know that. But perhaps some readers don't.
You get sarcasm right? I'd have thought it came through clearly that I was referring to the fruit known as the kiwi-fruit. Not the bird. To indicate that I'm a bit on the fruity side.....guess my sarcasm slid off and I wasn't as funny as I thought LOL Oh well, nice to meet you to.Quote:

Hi everyone.
I hope am posting in the correct thread. I've only recently joined The Literature Network, but I have already read two stories and I am quite thrilled at the quality of members' responses. My only previous experience with similar forums is with a community dedicated to a very specific science fiction universe. Although my field of research in the real world has led me far away from creative writing, my experiences in this sci-fi community has been quite positive, and I look forward to reading, responding and even (when it eventually comes to it) sharing some of my own writing with the community. I hope to learn how to branch out from sci-fi into previously unexplored areas (for me).
Thanks.
Welcome to the site, Welcheren. You'll find no shortage of otherworldly creatures here. :) Actually, LitNetters read a very broad spectrum of literature. I'm big on classics and history, but there is usually something for everyone. I hope you enjoy yourself here. Welcome again.
I add my welcome, LitNet is clearly the place for you to thrive in.
Hello, newbie here. Just dropping by to say hi :)
Hobby writer looking for some critique.
Welcome, Tea-bing, Welcheren, Author-Ellie, AnneElliot and everyone else!
Hello to all
My Name is Jon, and I am a graduate student seeking an advanced degree in Humanities - Classical Literature, with a capstone certificate in Education - Teaching.
I am a retired US Marine, and currently I train upland Game Bird Dogs for a career. I am pursing my education in order to position myself for a career change to college - level professorship.
I have just joined this forum, in the hope it will expand my horizons and my learning of the humanities in general and literature in specific.
Thanks for reading my exceedingly short bio!
Jon
Welcome, WB. Thank you for your service. When it comes to literature, there's nothing like jumping in headfirst. I hope you find this pool enjoyable. Please make yourself at home.
Welcome to you, too, Tea-bing. The LitNetters won't be shy with their critiques, so fire away!
I am new here but finding the site to be very useful and informative.Quote:

Hi everybody.
I am an Anglist from Wuerzburg (Germany). Rereading Episode 11 of Ulysses (Sirens) I wanted to ask a question about the deaf waiter Bald Pat, which I shall do in an appropriate forum in a few minutes. Till then, best wishes to all of you!
Welcome to the site, ElizaD, and good luck with your quest.
Thank you. May be you know the answer?
No, I'm sorry. I've never read Joyce. There are some here who have, though, so don't hesitate to start a thread. :)
Hello! I'm literary critic on Polish forum and begginer writer. People told me to go away, so I'm looking for other languages' forums to improve myself as cultural human being.
Sorry for my English, especially for comas. I'm putting them as it's proper in Polish. Also my grammar isn't correct but I hope to learn from everyone here.
I hope to be useful!
Welcome to LitNet! Sorry you were not welcome in your Polish forum, but here you are most welcome!
Witamy, BEL6. Are you really under my bed? How scary! Anyway, never mind the dummies from the other site. It's nice to have you with us.
Thank you, Dreamwoven, Popmpey Bum! I really appreciate! It's nice to see Polish words here. :)
I'm not really angry or depressed. They had the right to send me away - at some point instead of only reading their literary work, I forced them to learning and thinking. It seem to be hard nowadays. ;)
Indeed I am. Under every bed on this world. It's like being in someone's mind but much funnier. Can't be seen and defined where but I'am somewhere.
Alright! It's time for me to read!
Well, be careful of the dust bunnies down there, okay? And don't let my wife see you. :)Quote:

Hello, everybody.
My name is Dylan Klingensmith. I'm only fourteen, so I don't myself very high when it comes to writing. I'm here to write my stories and post them to see what all of you have to say and to criticize anything that needs work. I'm a fan of role-playing games, books (obviously), and making the darkest jokes mankind has ever seen. I may or may not have a bit of a self-esteem issue that I'm aware of yet can't seen to control.
That's honestly it. I wish you all a very good day.
Welcome, Dylan. It's great to have you with us. I want to warn you that the critics here can be very sharp, so if you have a self-esteem issue you may want to prepare yourself. (They're mostly a bunch of wankers, though, so who cares what they think, right? :) ) See, I have a problem sense of humor, too. Welcome to the site in any case.
Welcome Dylan!
