I have some poetry of my own to share in the coming months/years. I look forward to discussing books, stories, novels, and poems with all of you.


Hi ldevier,
When I left high school, the last person I told I was going to be a teacher replied, "There is no money in it!"
I said, "I don't care about the money."
He immediately said, "You will when bread is $2 a loaf."
I did not change my mind and I love teaching. Do you teach, ldevier?

Welcome to the forum, LC_Lancer! Am glad you are content with your career choice. :)

so hello to all Believers IN Christ:;)

Welcome,welcome!This is where the competition of life commenced!

Hello, everybody
I am new member of the forum. I am basically a laid back person, but I like to read and write.:)

Hello all new members and welcome to the forums! :)

Hello and welcome to the forum everybody!!! :wave:

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I'm not generally a "forum person" but after watching the movie The Jane Austen Book Club, I decided it might be fun to have some people to discuss books (among other things) with. Sorry for ending that sentence with a preposition - I know there must be some English teachers lurking around here who just are vehemently furrowing their brows right about now. The movie wasn't that great and I'm not a Jane Austen zealot but I do love to read and I am a bit of a bibliophile (yes, I obsess over the actual books themselves, not just the content) so I figured - why not join a literature forum?

P.S. I'm moving to New York City in about a month and I can't wait to start making my way through the countless number of second-hand bookshops there. Anyone from NYC have any recommendations on where to go?

Hi! I am a new member and am so happy to have finally joined the literature network! After my senior year of high school, I am planning on going on to college to become an English teacher. I LOVE literature.

Since this is a literature website and since it was asked, I will tell some of my favorite authors, though it is so hard to choose a few. I love John Steinbeck, Sinclair Lewis, Herman Melville, basically any early twentieth or late eighteenth century American author. I also have read some of Charles Dickens and Daniel Defoe and really enjoyed them. I must admit, I am not as well read as I hope to be, but I am getting there.

If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear from you! Thanks!

Sarida :)

Hi everyone,

I, too, am new to this whole liturature/thread thing. I was an English major in college and now that I'm not in school, I miss all the conversations on literature. I'm finally getting back to one of my first loves: reading and writing. I wanted to be an author when I was in second grade and I still do, but I need to find focus and not be afraid to get out there with my writing. ,

Right now I'm enjoying social comedies like E.M. Forster's A Room with a View and Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I'm looking forward to having some good chats about all sorts of books. :)

A big fat HELLO to all the newbies! :D

46 going on 86 (health issues).........married (more than once --- sigh)....... mother to six kids, 3 of whom we adopted 2 years ago..... "used to be" a lot of things I ain't any more (Christian, lawyer, philosophy grad student, optimist, pessimist) but still one thing I've been forever: an addict of the printed page. Love great lit but will settle for the back of a cereal box if necessary.

Hi, I'm just going to look around to see what you all get up to and hope to make friends and stuff,I hope you are all having a nice day.:)

Hi everyone. So this isn't actually my first post, at least not tonight, but I thought I'd come by to say hi. I originally joined to use the site in conjunction with my class. We use it for class discussion on books, but I really love literature so I'm glad I joined. Can't wait to post some more about great literature.
