hi
i'm new to this site, so hello to everybody.
i'm a fulltime college student at usc.i just started to get interrested in literature.
i like stephen king which is not literature, but i love his books and movies anyway.i just wanted to say hello and hope to meet some nice people.have a nice day and don't be scared to reply ;) :lol:
I wouldn't say Steven King is the writer of the century, but he is literature.
Oh, I'm sorry, Meone and only. Excuse my manners. Welcome.
HI my one and only,
Welcome. and I like Stephen King too. The Shining and Stand by Me are great movies.
I've read some of his books too.
my one and only, Welcome to the forum. Hey, I hope to see you often.
Riesa, I have read "Rose Madder" by Stephen King and I found it ok. I have heard that his horror novels are better. So Iam going to try them now.
Dark Lord, I think that Wuthering Heights is one of the most depressing and beautiful book that ever existed in the world. It really made me cry but sometimes I really like weeping. It has its own pleasure.
:banana: me too ....me too!!!...:banana:
I mean i love wuthering heights and (@ Night) i love Jane Eyre... Bronte does her work perfectly, and i love the fact that she makes sure all her "round" characters develop by the end of the novel...
Hi my one and only welcome to this forum
i liked that Stephan King movies ,but i 've never read his works , the only horror auther i 've read was for Algernon Blackwood i believed his works are much interesting ,
the best writers are the Bronte's , I don't know but i felt that their writes full of their life experences , i mean each story had something from their life and personality , i liked Withring Heights caz it is full of passions unlike Shirley , it was just like treating some kind of clergymen's problems and mill's owner during their time
hey everybody. Im new here. Im NightmareBeauty.
I like art, music (mostly rock and metal depending on artist.), acting, reading and esp. writting. I also draw.
Im into pretty much gothic stuff even though i'm not really a goth. ;) I can be preppy at times. I love poetry from edgar allen poe, and many more gothic/macabre authors. Have u guys heard of H.P Lovecraft? He's cool too. I read fantasy, goth/macabre/horror, and science fiction. I write my own poetry and im working on writting tales. This site is awesome. It was love at first site while i was just simply looking for poem for english,lol.
c,ya!
Hi I'm a new member. Call me Kidd <- my pen name which I use for my drawings as well. I am going to be a college freshman! w00t! Sadly I'm still stuck in high school. I have recently been taking AP Lit, which boosted my interests in classics. My favorite books so far are the Catch-22, Waiting for Godot and Crime and Punishment. I am big supporter of classical music! I love classical music. Some of my favorites are La Flute de Pan, Pied Piper for flute and piccolo, Genzmer Sonanta, the Barton Sonata (and yes, I'm a flute player), Fire bird Suite, New World Symphony by Dvorak, Sorcerer's Apprentice (this piece is amazing, extremely hard, and tiring, but good nonetheless). I prefer new alternative and heavy metal and classics over other music. I like playing games like Soul Calibur II, Super Smash Bros, and other kinds of mmorpgs. I like classical word games like bookworm. I love comic books as well. I like Foxtrot, Garfield, X-men, Superman, Naruto, One Piece, Now, Get Backers, Air Gear, etc. I consider my self fairly well rounded person. I like nearly everything. I hate rap. That is one thing I cannot stand. I have not posted any at the moment. But I hope to do so. I think many people here are well rounded. Although I haven't posted anything, I have read many threads. I'm one of those people who have to read through the entire thread before posting anything of my own because I don't want to repeat something some had said earlier on.
Well... That's most of my interests and ideas.
I'm also very interested in writing. I write, draw, and practice during my spare time. I would love to work with a writer to make a comic book. I have to say, I have read many fictions out there on line and have not found a very great writing yet. My drawing style reflects that of the "anime" style. But I must say, I despise anime. I like manga, but I cannot stand anime, with exception of the animes that were originally anime from the beginning.
I chose panda for my icon because I am very fond of the big furry creature. I am some what like them. I usually dress in black and white. I get excited easily, but I am in peace in my mind. There are many things that I share with panda.
Ok, I think I wrote enough to give you the gist of what kind of person I am. I am glad to meet you all. I am very excited to be around people like yourselves. It is a great pleasure on my part.
Hi Ngithmare beauty: Its lovely to meet you here. Welcome to the forum. I love Poe's poetry specially the poem: "The Raven"
I also like music very much. I can hear rock, classic, rap...etc. (not too choosy)
Its cool that you write poems. If you like, you can post your poetry on our poetry.com.
I hope to hear from you often.
Kid, Welcome to the forum! Its nice to meet you as well. I also like drawing writing but I am not very good with writing. (hehe)
*says to herself: Pensive, Your interests are getting too common, its good because you will be able to find friends.*
Welcome Nightmare and Kidd.
I've only been around since November, but does it seem like there's been an uptick in membership the last couple of months?
FOXTROT is the King of Comics.
hello to everyone
i really am yvonne so no anonimity for me - well a little i guess
i live in UK the North West
look foreward to conversing
i clicked on advanced :confused: i have a lot to learn :banana:
S'all right, we're here to offer tutelage. Welcome to the LitNet Forums!
Welcome, Yvonne. I hope you enjoy our discussions. A couple of them have been pretty lively lately.
Hello! I feel really, really new right now, but after reading all these comments, I think I'll feel more familiar with the site soon!
My passion is for literature. When I was little, I skipped a whole level of reading and went straight from Boxcar Children to Shakespeare. An odd childhood, but it's been useful. Right now, I'm discovering the beauty of Charles Dickens; I have never read one of his books without shedding tears. Tolkien is also a favourite, and just this summer I read the 'Space Trilogy' (C.S.Lewis) and was awestruck at the power of words. I myself love to write: I am working on three novels.
However, I cannot write unless I have the proper inspiration. Firstly, God (I'm a Christian) aids my speech. My favourite book of the Bible is Revelation; I remember the first time I read it I could not stop crying for wonder.
Secondly, music. I have developed a fondness for some modern music, but mostly I like soundtracks to movies such as Finding Neverland (the source of my name), Narnia, and LOTR, and then compositions such as Holst's The Planets and Ralph Vaughan William's fantasias on Greensleeves and various Thomas Tallis works.
I generally only watch movies of books- LOTR, Narnia, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, and A Tale of Two Cities were this year's.
I'm learning Spanish, French, and Latin. Linguistics are so intriguing. And that feels like a terribly long bio for a "quick reply". I'll toddle off to the forums now.
Welcome to you too. You sound like an interesting person.
Well, howdy there! Nice avatar, the original "Boxcar Children #1" was the best, and welcome!
Hello everyone! My name's Zach, I'm 18, and I live in (currently) frosty New England. I stumbled upon this forum accidentally by the grace of Google, read a few posts, liked what I saw - and here I am!
I've been interested in literature for a long time but never buckled down and started reading a lot until recently. I read Adler and van Doren's book "How to Read a Book" one idle afternoon and now I'm on a thirsty quest to devour as much of the world's classics as I can. Right now I'm using Fadiman's "New Lifetime Reading Plan" as a starting point and jumping around his list to get introduced to authors I've heard of and never read, and to get reacquainted with authors I've read before. So, I'm really excited to talk to others about these books.
I'm not a big hobby person, but I enjoy taking walks and jogging, swimming, writing, and philosophizing. The center of my interest the last few years has been religion - all religion from Christianity to Buddhism - and how different religions compare and contrast to one another. My favorite conversations are ones about God, ethics, and the afterlife.
I'm not sure what else to say, so I'll just leave it at that. Looking forward to getting acquainted with everyone!
Wecome, Sporkubus. It sounds like you've come to the right place.
Ahh, you like talking about religion, eh? Welcome home--the Religious Texts forum will suit you just fine. Have fun on the forums, and enjoy your stay.
YVONE: Welcome to the forum! I hope to see in the forum again.
Hey Neverland, "Finding Neverland" is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I am glad that you liked its sound track. I agree with you there that every book Dicken has written is beautiful and one can't remain tearless when reading it. Keep on posting.
Hi sporkubus: Nice to meet you too, You say that you are not a big hobby person but still you have a lot of hobbies. Afterall hobby is something we like to do or enjoy. Like Robinhood, I will say that if you want to discuss religion, you can talk about it all in Religious Text. Keep on posting.
PS: I am counting on you guys that sometime you will drop again.
Hello fellow literature lovers,
im back, sorry that i haven't been on for a while. I try to maintain a life outside the computer world,lol. Hi Virgil, Pensive, and Kid nice to meet you. Its cool that we pretty musch share love in the same interests. Love to talk to ya more! THANK GOD I GET 2 WEEKS OFF FOR THE HOLIDAYS. :santasmil It s going by so fast, tho. :rage: Revenge!(inside my mind: on who?) Oh well might as well pic up my ipod, pen,pencil, paper, a book, and a remote control, and make the best of it :nod:!
:banana: - this is one of the most RANDOM thingS ever created in a smile box. a dancing banana. IT ROX! I live for the random and weird things.
Hey kid, i here (read actually!) that you like comics. SO COOL. I use to read spiderman, x men , i admit i need to read more. I heard there were comics of emily the strange. Ever heard of her? I kinda wanna check it out. I for one do like anime. I love , repeat love INUYASHA. It kicks butt. Naurto is cool. Ireally need to watch the show. I only seen one episode. I've seen the comic books for it. One of my friends have them. It's pretty funny. It cool that you like video games. It love super smash bros. but I really love Zelda. ( Can you say fantasy freak?). BTY, I HATE RAP AS WELL. I'm a rock lover( inside my head: mostly!) It has no meaning in lyrics. Really, the only rap I'll accept is from the band Linkin Park. Mike Shinoda raps about real things. Take a listen their really great in my opinion.
Hey pensive whats up? Its cool to know that you love music esp. rock. I gotta admit i like some classical like Beethoven and such BUT I don't really listen to it alot. If its in a movie then, i guess. lol! I read that you like " Finding Neverland" I love that movie. Johnny Depp and the cast did a great job. I honestly must say that I cried at the end. Its neat that you like edgar allen poe. I can't choose a favorite poem but if i did it'll probably be "The Valley of Unrest". The raven is awesome too.
Virgil, hello. Thanx for the welcome. Love to get to know ya more. I told my friends about this site. My bff sounds interested but their is sort of lack of love for books in my circle of friends. Mostly 3 of us love to read. I hope they join so that this place an have more members. This place is awesome.
Inside my head : dang what a long reply. I think I gotta go.
HELLO TO ALL NEW MEMBERS!!!!!!!!
"Kid?" To whom is he referring?

Hey Uncle, Welcome to the forum. Its nice to have you. Keep on posting.
Do you like music and movies as well?
Hi NightMareBeauty ,
Glad to have u here , i too noticed that many of members have alot od common , i loved Zelda ,and did u check the new Legend of Zelda , its really going to be something , but i am sick of waiting for its release
I have played the game "Legend of Zelda"
Do you mean the game, Lord?
yes Pensive , the game in GameCube which is called Legend of Zelda : The twilight princes , heard of it ?
I hear it's going to be pretty good, but aimed at a slightly older crowd than the previous Zelda games. Apparently, they're actually going to use blood. The mounted combat looks intriguing, though.
hi all,
all hail the online symposium! a beautiful site - thankyou.
i am yet another inductee with a fatal attraction for the written word - the list of favourites is endless - blake, whitman, salinger, lawrence durrell, kafka, konstantine kavafis, henry miller and (surprise, surprise) will shakespeare being a good start.
i'm also pretty fascinated at the moment by a certain kind of country music - the sort of stuff that crossed spheres with bob dylan and leonard cohen in terms of lyrical content (townes van zandt, steve earle etc.) looking forward to sharing some thoughts about these guys - bruce springsteen?
anyhow, i wont make this a protracted intro,
looking forward to participating in this sight the minute i get that computer!
Hey Tiresias, welcome to the forum. I hope to see you as an active member. What are your interests other than Gossip and literature?
Excellent--welcome, and nice handle!
I am stumbling my way around this site and I found this. it is a really neat idea! my family is taking a vidio lecture course on great authors in western literature and in finding suggested reading we found this site. can't wait to find out more.
hello :wave: it is great isnt it?
You are welcome here.
those are the primary ones. i'm fascinated by ancient cultures (the greeks in particular), religion and the human drama. i also have a distinct weakness for football, foreign climes and fancy old buildings.
lots of interesting old buildings in India...especially in Delhi(the capital),
The architecture's fascinating.
