Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hi, I'm new to this site, and sort of new to the whole world of forums. But I thought this could be a cool place to maybe meet some people and also learn a few new things.
I am a moderate reader, who loves the Harry Potter books, and is quite fond of the 'His Dark Materials" books as well. I also have this weird attraction to Shakespeare. I never really liked it back in high school. But ever since I finished I've been trying to find ways to get Shakespeare in my life. So I guess that's the main reason why I'm here, to learn more about the great Bard and also learn how to read the plays on my own.
Anyways, I look forward to discussing with all of you at some point.
Buh-bye

Hello! :D Welcome!

Shakespeare is a god. 'Nuff said.

Have fun here! LitNet is wonderful. :)

I came across this site when conducting a search. What a pleasant surprise. My compliments.

I am actually on a mission. I recently came across some old books and I am interested in selling or giving them away. After a search on ebay, I realized that the books may not be worth much.

I am now looking at giving them away. Instead of bothering with ebay, and I may use a rather different approach, raffling them away for free on eraffle.com.

Yet, I want to be sure I am not iving away something valuable. I will check this site for guidance. I have a 1904 copy of The Bobbsey Twins. Is it worth selling. I think not.

Look forward to any guidance.

Welcome aboard, willysmall. Hope other forum members will help.

Hi... I am new, duh, and just had a technical question... I got here because I want a place to post and get feedback on my short stories. I found the short story board, but my stuff is longer than most of the posts there... about 5,000 words. Is there a place besides the forum where I should post something I've written? Or is it okay to just have a really long post? Thanks so much,

Caitlin

Hello Caitlin!

You can post your stories in the Short Story section even though they are long.

I'm a very peculiar girl... I can be very moody. I don't like going out much but I love shopping. I love the things that I can do at home like DVD marathon, writing and reading. I also love cooking and housekeeping.

Hello all!

My name is Nadia but all my friends call me Aidan.
hmm let see, I'm a college student trying to get a degree so that I can take a couple years off and teach english in Japan. From there I would like to travel to neighboring countries, top of the list are Thailand, Tibet, China, Russia, India, and Indonesia. I will decided what to do after that when the time comes.
Now tho I like to occupy my time reading, painting, going to concerts, and hanging out with friends.

My favorite book might be The Count of Monte Cristo or Catcher in the Rye.
favorite movie is either Memento or Fight Club
and favorite bands are Neutral Milk Hotel, Wolf Parade, Interpol, and Joy Division.
I think that might just have to do it.
thank you for your time.

When I search for information on various literature related subjects on google I invariably wind up here and the discussions I see usually look very interesting and fun, so I've finally decided to register and maybe join in on some of them.



Hello.

Hey, hey, hey!

I was looking for this section as I just finished subscribing. I don't know why, but it seemed kind of rude to just start posting without saying hi to you all.

I found out about this forum searching for an Al. Dumas forum. I really prefer getting informations from people that have actually read his books, than read articles (of course, it depends, but most articles I find on the internet have a really cold approach of his life and work).

I guess I should say something about myself now, right? Well, first I should tell you that English is not my native language, so please excuse my mistakes.

I have started reading quite recently. Of course, I read a lot of books when I was in school, but just typical adventure novels, a lot of Jules Verne, Agatha Cristie and russian writers. Now that I finally subscribed at the town's library I found myself surrounded by books and, being summer, I spend lots of nights reading (I rarely read during daytime). After reading The Count of Monte Cristo, I started searching other Dumas novels. Also SF became one of my favorite types of literature and I spent a lot of money on Asimov novels. But right now I'm looking to extend my preferences and read a larger range of books. So, I guess I'm in the right place, no?

I guess I'm going to see you around the forum so good-bye for now =)

Hi everyone! I've just found this site and thought it would be nice to participate. I am a 56 yr old man, married, 3 sons and live in Florida.

Actually, I am looking for someone who may recognize some books by the description that follows:

These books were juvenile adventure stories published, I would say around 1925. Mu father had 4 of them. The main characters were two homeless boys who, when travelling by train were involved in a train wreck. They were found by a man who was an inventor/adventurer. The boys, of course, ended up travelling with the inventor and his assistant, a black man who had an interesting way of speaking. On one occasion, on their trip to the north pole, he spoke of an eskimo woman as "misquitomexican woman".

The spelling of eskimo in this book was "eskimaux". (or something like that)

If anyone has any idea as to a title or author, I would appreciate the info.

Thanks

So, I'm new to this, just joined today.
Hello everyone.
Looking forward to what this site will bring.

I am new to this website and although some of the discussion on literature is informed and informative, I do take exception to the infantile presentation of the subject matter.
Why the childish logos for example and the silly names contributors use as pseudonyms.
Even allowing for the fact that the website originated in the USA and most of the contributors are students, one would expect more consideration for the great writers who have given us the books we love to read.
After all, you're either serious about literature or not and, if not, why bother to use the website anyway ?
Literature can be fun without being childish, so let's grow up and show it some respect.
