Hello everyone. I'm a constant reader and book buying addict. I predominately read fiction and poetry. Right now I'm in the middle of House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, as well as Paris Spleen by Baudelaire. Hopefully this forum will be a conduit for much interesting and valuable discussion.
Hello everyone! I am currently an english student in university. I am really looking forward to joining the LitNet community as i find that most of my classmates have little love of poetry and fell bottom first into the major with little grace or purpose. It is nice to see literature love alive in so many. On page 362 of DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers right now. Favorite poem is "In a Station at the Metro" by Pound.
Me= Shoesy.
Hi my fellow literary enthusiasts. Joined this site because I want to know some good books that I should read, and find out more about the depth of those which I have already read. I would also like to do better as far as my english texts at school go next year so I'll be adding some threads on those if there aren't already some up. Any help with these books would be excellent.
Thanks guys :)
The oldest in a large family, you'd think I would be outgoing, bossy, and social rather than the private individual I am. I'm a lit lover, been one my whole life. My idea of a good time is a quiet afternoon curled up with Austen or perhaps a captivating new read (but those are hard to come by--better to stick with Austen or Bronte or Faulkner), the telephone turned off and nobody around to interrupt or to need help with this or that. That's a rare day.
Very funny
Hyperion is godlike...satyr is lustful. Hamlet is asking his mother why she would turn from someone like his deceased father, so superior, into the arms of his brother Claudius, a man Hamlet sees as base, corrupt, and very lustful. In fact, Hamlet seems more obsessed with his mother having sex with Claudius than he is with his father's mother. Notice how much more often Hamlet references incest and lust than he does the actual murder.Quote:

I am here today because I am an adult college student struggling with a composition class. To be honest I believe I will not pass. I am an "A" & "B" student but for some reason I get completely choked up when I have to write on certain topics. Right now my assignment is to write a literary analysis on Dylan Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales". I have read this story many times and the only thing I get from it is that Thomas is reflecting on a childhood Christmas and intends to evoke similar memories for the reader. I, however, get stuck on the MANY descriptive words he uses. I do not intend to offend here, but for the life of me I cannot understand how this is a classic short story. Because of my confusion I am hoping to get some insight so I can write this paper.
Hello!
I found this forum while researching for a school project, but got sidetracked at the apparently good community herein.
Sooo... I introduce myself here as an avid science fiction fan who enjoys philosophy.
Recently, I've read the fountainhead, 1984, brave new world, and some other material that has got me thinking about the philosophical dichotomies between collectivism and other forms of human social interaction...
Hello everyone! I've just joined so I thought I'd stop in here to say a quick hi. HI!!!!
I'm in Australia - the supposed sunshine state, but today is grey and dreary... and I love it!!
I stumbled across this website and I thought it would be fun to join. From reading some of the posts it seems like there are a lot of interesting people here. Love that.
Hello people of this site, Im Stray. Im in the US Army, joined back in December '07 and graduated BCt August. My MOS is 88N, Transportation Management Coordinator. I will most likely be deployed to Iraq or Kuwait sometime next year after I complete AIT.
I am a Senior in High School, and my friend got me to join the site. =^-^=.
I love to write fanfictions, mainly Legend of Zelda (can we post fanfics here?).
Hello...I'm Sally and I'm looking forward to being a member of your little community. I discovered poetry when my father gave me a book of poems that my late mother wrote in her 20's and I thought that I might "have a go":)
I belong to a local writing group and I am still feeling my way.;)
Best wishes
Sally:)
I'm with you, Sherry. :wave: I am also an adult student struggling at finish my writing degree. I have waited a long time to complete it, and for the life of me, I feel over my head in reading and research.:brickwall: Writing usually comes naturally, but now I must be conscious of grammar usage, work citations, and general thesis paper format.
I would be pulling out my hair if I did not keep it short.:banana:
Anyway, writing fiction is my passion. But for now, I must work with my professors to get this 57-year old brain of mine to thinking in academic terms of writing. Considering that this is my first semester in more than a decade of absent from campus life, I am hopefully that this transition will end painlessly and that I will have everything together come next semester.:)
Bye for now,
The Woolf In Me! :wave:
Hello to everyone , my main universe are my books, the ones that I read;
as I say to a good friend : they are my home as I mouved around and have them always as best friends.
I did make a lot of studies and in the same time the most of this studies are not related to a particular diploma, I am self-taught mainly.
Actualy I make my living with my painting activity, from many years, I may be not very known but at least I am still alive and willing to go on.
I have actually few projects , one of them is to do a digital work around one of
my always favorits poets: Cesare Pavese; is how I descovered this Forum.
I am learning English , I wright in English;
I am a sober person, a taciturne, but when I speak sometime hearts a lot, remember, I am kind in nature, I just have the love for the right expression.
I am glad of this day discovery and this Forum seems to me very familiar even if is the first time that I come in; I hope to arrive to make myself understand, as long as I understand myself.:)
I may have in me a child and a wise person, take care of the child and listen to the wise one.
Is this a good introduction to you ?:)
Greetings. I'm the newest member and I look forward to many good discussions of the legendary authoress, Jane Austen. I'm a fan of the books and the movie adaptions, but moreso of discussing the stories themselves.

Hello everyone,
from the land of snow and eternal (?) winter. I found this site while googling on something and decided to give it a try, since it seems like an interesting community. Literature being a big part of my university studies and poetry my deepest passion I am looking forward to some lively literary discussions in here.
And yes, I do write poems and keep struggling to organize them into a book. Wish me luck...
(edit: one should never end with three dots)
best wishes
