Hello ridicules! Love the username, welcome to LitNet!
Thank you, and thank you. :D
Welcome to all you new members! :)
Oh yeah, your that one guy who replied to the thread I started about Frost's "Out, Out---." :D (Don't ask me how I remember these things. :p)Quote:

It's nice to be back among people with the love of the art of literature. I have not been among peers since I departed Grand View College in Des Moines, IA to scurry about the country some years ago. In all honesty I haven't "picked up a pen" in over a year and the lack of expression seems to take its toll. In school (English, emphasis on creative writing) I was most apt to succeed in persuasive essay, prose and any sort of stream of conciousness, also comedic short stories with a darker tune.
A bit of a Frostian but not a Hallmarkian, I am interested to browse this site for similar interests and perhaps strike dialogue.
My friends are not much for literature yet I'm not much for scotch on the rocks and pass me down woolen sweaters. Between nature and merry-making (which I define as drinking heavily with fellow heathens maintaining just enough responsibility to pay bills and stay out of jail, and various outdoor music festivals), I've decided to snatch the pen from where it lay, dust her off and begin again.
I just discovered this thread, a fact which sort of introduces me all by itself. In social settings, even virtual ones, I tend to lose my peripheral vision and miss a lot of what's going on around me. I lack the social sort of 'ept,' or whatever it is that you're missing when people say you're inept.
I'm old. I more than like reading. Might be a disorder. I used to read product labels and fine print when nothing else came to hand. The good part is that I read all kinds of stuff while still very young, and continue to read widely, although shallowly.
I also end up hacking about ninety percent out of my posts before I finally post them. My gift to you.
Currently reading:
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Marquez
Simulacra and Simulation - Baudrillard
Really. It's a self-flagellation thing, although 'Solitude' is becoming rather engaging.
Hey, im Thom, reading whatever comes to hand usually, but i have a perticular passion for all things Blake.
Its great to find a place where books and learning are appreciated.
Howdy. I just joined. Received degrees in English and Latin from Univ of Oregon. Likes: Hemingway, Waugh, Phil Dick, Wordsworth, etc., although lately I've been completely immersed in physics/cosmology.
Just finished Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49" and am very much hoping some folks out there would be willing to engage in a dialogue/discussion. I'd like to compare notes/ideas.
