Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hey Y'all! I'm a 48 year old otherwise educated person who has read almost no literature. As a kid, I thought I liked to read but the truth was I'd just sit with a book and stare at the page reading the same words over and over. I got through HS with cliff notes and college without taking a single lit course. It wasn't until a few years ago when I was finally diagnosed with ADHD that I found out what I thought was mild dyslexia was vastly improved by taking one silly little pill. What a lot of time I've wasted! So, I decided to try and start catching up on the world's great literature. I started with Moby Dick, which was intriguing but didn't strike me as something that should be called 'great'. In trying to understand it better, I found your forum. Lots of well thought out entries. I've never participated in something like this but am looking forward to it. I think I'll try to finish Dante's Inferno next. I started it a few years ago when my daughter took a HS course on it, but I couldn't keep up. Any other suggestions?

Hello hehe :blush:

I am a 50+ married lady in Cleveland, Ohio who just can't stop reading! I started reading when I was 4 years old and read twice the books required in summer library reading clubs and it has just gotten worse! :lol:

I don't have a lot of computer time and maybe that's good :crash: so I will pop in now and then. If I don't reply to messages right away that is why.

Happy reading! :D

Just been on the gender poll, decided to make it clear HERE that im male.
Other than that im a mere 14 years of age, struggling through the rest of my legally required education, and the only thing i have ever really had a passion for in school is literature. Now whenever anybody asks, i tell them i want to be a writer to keep them hushed. I have my doubts, my freinds say the phrase "crash and burn" comes to mind when i talk of my future career, mind you, they've always been supportive....:bawling:

Hello. First post. Short and sweet.

Welcome to the forum everyone!!! :D

All Hail -one new member crawls out from under a stone, somewhere in England, to found out what the rest of the world reads. We in this sceptred Isle tend to be a bit conservative, and the education system stills drills Shakespeare, Bacon, Chaucer, Dickens, Anthony Trollope and a few other classical English writers. The thought of doing Steinbeck, say, at school would have aged teachers swooning in the clas-room, then throwing themselves under a passing double-deck bus.
I have been brought up with a lot of the great Welsh writers, starting obviously with the Mabinogion, a catalogue of very early Celtic writings, then later poets like Dylan Thomas, Idris Davis, Housman and others. Much of Welsh literature is still produced in Welsh, which is the oldest European language, a matter of much pride in Wales.
I try and write myself, but having seen the thread about the worst writer in the world, stop searching, lads and lasses, I'm here!! I am also a photographer, working mostly with local stuff in the City where I live, Sheffield.
I love Rugby Union Football, speaking Welsh, and I collenct different translations if the Bible, my oldest dating from 1641. I have some in German, Russian and Obviously Welsh.
I'm looking forward to learnig lots from this Forum, and hopefully expanding my horizons beyond the North Sea. Thanks for the welcome
