Welcome to the site, Jenna. No, I don't find many people who want to talk with me about literature, but hey, to be fair, I don't want to talk with them about Pokemon. Nice to have you with us. :)

The field of literature is so vast that its often the case that well-known books, like Moby Dick, have only been read by a few of us. There is a whole thread about this book that is still active, though I have never read it. It just takes 2 or 3 interested who have read it to keep it going. There are also threads on serious non-literature subjects, like Astronomy and Cosmology.
Come on in, DW. The water's fine. :)Quote:

Hi! My name is Sammy and I am an administrator for a charity. I'm not very confident in my writing but my fiancé has been encouraging me to write more so I thought I'd join a forum to read, write and hopefully get some feedback. And meet some new people too! I'm a huge fan of graphic novels, Neil Gaiman and audiobooks. I also used to write Fanfiction for the tv series Supernatural. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and to reading lots of new stories ��
Welcome, Phoenix. I hope you find what you're looking for here. :)
Hi everybody!
My mother tongue isn't english. I read books in English and I was looking for a website where I could post my many doubts. Sometimes I don't understand a sentence and I will open a thread. Hopefully you can help me out. I'm currently reading "The girl in the blue coat" by Monica Hesse. I love it!
We will see each other often.
Cheers.
Ps: don't hesitate to correct my mistakes, thanks.
Hi again! How can I open a thread?
Thanks!

I'm Ilker, 23.
I'm not native speaker of English, and am from Turkey. i like sharing ideas and reading other people's ideas about works.
Also, i feel a bit lost about art and literature, i have many questions about them! If i have any mistake in my writing (except for capital ''I'' :P), please correct me :).
I was reading A Tale of Two Cities, but i just stopped reading it. Now i'm waiting for my next book's shipping, my next book is ''B A Paris - Behind Closed Doors (English version)''. I think of reading books in English to broaden my knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.
Sincerely, Ilker
Welcome again, Ilker. Nice to have you here.
Hey everyone,
I'm at a point where I finally am making an effort to write. It was something I wanted to do for over 20 years. Now I am making time for it. I have decades of experiences and ideas, so now the work of putting pen to paper.
Welcome to the LitNet forums, Graybush. You have the right attitude, slowly does it!

Hi everyone
I know a little bit about a lot of things and not a great deal about anything. I'm here to share and to learn through shared knowledge. This seems like a wonderful community and I am happy to be a part of it. = )
Based in the United Kingdom. Eats a lot of chocolate. Guided by a dream. Pleasure to meet you.
Very nice to meet you, too, DW. Welcome to the site. :)
Hello. Currently in high school, not excellent at introductions, and with a penchant for 19th century literature. Pleasure to be here.

Hi all, My name is Sufi Bhodisattva author of "Awaiting the Golden Age". Hope to have great chat here. I am from Lithuania (Europe), constantly on the road, currently going to the Kingdom of Mustang to get further inspiration to write the second book:).
Hello just joined mostly looking for inspiration on what to read. I get certain moods when I look for certain styles of writing... sometimes prose poetry type like laurie Lee. .. sometimes humour like Jerome K Jerome. .. sometimes beautifully written historical fiction like vardis fisher. So that's why I am here. Hi!
Welcome, Sufi and Hawk, to the LitNet forums!
thanx
thank you all ..wish to have great joy and information
Hi every one! It is just an introduction message!
Hi mandm11! This is just a welcome! :)
Hello everyone,
in my wanderings I past by your open door and I decided to peek inside. What I am looking for are good reads and discussions but, if fate wills, I will not reject the rare and invaluable gift of friendship.
I dare say it is of no use to present my self thoroughly here as there will not be any want of space on servers any time soon and I will be more than willing to tell about my narcissistic self when the circumstances will be more convenient.
Better to start, then, with what I am looking for. I recently finished reading "The Golden Bough", a book which has planted a lot of seeds in my mind, an already fertile ground. What I am looking for now is something specific to continue on such thread. I am not looking for erudite studies of anthropology from a different (even though "The Golden Bough" is also this) but something as insightful and written in such an elegant and accessible manner. I do not have an university background in humanities and, for how obvious it could seem to a specialist, I know not what read would most suitably follow.
Should you have any suggestions, do not hesitate to run to me calling as loud as you can.
Goodnight!
Welcome to the site, LW. I have a bad knee so I don't do much running these days, but if you enjoyed The Goden Bough and would like more elegant but eccentric scholarship, I suggest The White Goddess by Robert Graves. Hope that helped.
Thanks a lot, I will look for this book!
Hello everyone. My name is Daniel, and I just found this site through a poetry class I'm taking. I'm very excited about this discovery; I had no idea a site like this existed.
Speaking of a class, I have to get to one, so it's just "hello" for now.
Great to have you with us, DJ. :)
Hi guys! My name is Krissy. I'm a sixteen-year-old aspiring author. I've been writing on other sites like fanfiction and fictionpress for about five years (I've always loved literature). This is my first time on this particular site, but I'm always looking to better myself. So hobbies... Hm, here comes the list.
Firstly I love reading, writing, and anything in between. I love art, I can sketch very well as I've taken many classes both online and in school for it. I'm an okay painter but I never really had a passion for it. Though I can look at any kind of art all day (with a few exceptions). I love, absolutely love, to bake – especially bread, which I only started recently (my moms not too happy about it. She told me she's already gained ten pounds from it and that if I cook anymore I'm grounded, lol). I love music as well. I play piano and guitar—self taught—since I was twelve. I sing, mostly at church, competition, and other things. Last year in a duet me and my component won fourth at state level. I'd love to do a solo but I just can;t sum up the courage. My favorite subjects in school are literature and history. I think I love history so much because you can take a lot of that and incorporate it into writing. I also for some reason like biology and I'm probably going to take AP biology this summer since I'm taking regular biology right now.
I'm only sixteen years old so I don't have my entire future planned completely, but I have a few ideas. I've always loved the study of blood, in a totally non creepy way. Just the way that blood cells work together to do the most basic functions and how they can mutate and cause things like cancer. Plus I've non alot of friends and family member who have been affected by cancer and if I could do anything to help I would love to. So I really want to go into pre-med for college (I'm looking at Baylor University (I live in Texas so it would be in state tuition) and if I get accepted to a medical school then I would like to go into hematology or hematology-oncology.
Other dreams I have for my future would be to own my own publishing company. This would be my main dream becasue it's my true passion. I'd also like to run a little bakery on the side. No matter what I do I want to write a book/book series one day. I'm currently working on a book. I'm going through the outlining process. And I'm an absolute outliner. I will live and die by my outlines. Plus I love to do rigorous character backgrounds and characterization. I also get all my plot turns and all that good stuff. I stated really getting into writing in seventh grade when my English teacher gave me back my paper (with 110%!) and told me it was a beautiful paper and that I should really look into writing as a career. She then read the paper outloud and I made half the girls cry *evil laugh*. Then she read it to all the high schoolers, too. Talk about an esteem lift. It was a sad story though. It made me sad writing it. However, I'm also realistic and I know that writing as a career is not very realistic. But that won't stop me!!!
Bye guys. Hope to make friends on here.
Welcome to the site, Krissy. You sound like a really intelligent young woman. It's great to have you with us.Quote:
