Hi, Sarah, 18, from England.
I'm going to university in September to study English and American Literature, and have spent the majority of my gap year reading. I'm currently reading The Iliad and The Great Gatsby, and aim to have read at least 50 books by the end of this year. Lovely to meet you all.
Whilst Googling for an image of Jules Verne for my computer I came across this and thought I should join as I also have an interest in Alexandre Dumas (and you can probably guess which book I am most interested in). Most people online say they got interested in an author due to a stage play, a film or even a television series. I seem to be the only one who got interested by means of a cartoon series animated by the Japanese, made by the Spanish and whose lead character was voiced by the person who did the voice for He-Man in 2002!Quote:

Hello everybody,
At the moment I'm doing a big study of the tarot and kabbalah. I bumped into this forum and I noticed that the topics go a bit deeper than the Dutch forums I visited until now. I'm from Holland and writing a book in Dutch about Tarot and Kabbalah because in the Netherlands there's nothing written that's really good for people that are interested in the subject(s ).
Of course my book is heavily influenced by the Book of Thoth from Aleister Crowley (of which I'm very fond as you may notice). The book of Thoth is the best book about the Thoth Tarot obviously, but I'm busy to write the very deep meanings in the book in a more easy-to-read style without losing the depth of the words of Aleister Crowley. Quite a job I must say. A very helpful book to maken the symbolism easier understandable is The Qabalistic Tarot of Robert Wang. So, I'm making great progress thanks to those two masterpieces.
The only things I keep staring at is the infinite meanings of the symbolism in the cards. It's easy to name them or to add a proper meaning to them, but before you find the right words to keep it 'simple' without making the mistake to profanize the sacred symbolism... that's not easy. Even if you feel the symbols, it's not that you know them... and vice versa.
So, the reason for me to join this forum is for getting a little help with the tarot cards and hopefully give help if there are any questions about the tarot. Of course I'm looking forward getting to know you all and who knows which other subjects I stumble into on this forum.
Love is the Law, love under will,
Walter
Hi I stumbled upon this site a week or so ago when I was looking for wallpaper for my new computer. I'm a lifelong book junkie, word buff and unredeemed English major. I miss discussions about books and literature and this looked like a god place to h ang out.
Hey guys n gals! I'm the Malicious Mamba! Pleased to meet you all! :D
Hi everyone,
I'm new here (ya... I know its pretty self-explanatory if im posting here). I myself am not a big reader. I joined mainly because I need some help picking out poetry to read for a contest (see my thread: http://www.online-literature.com/for...440#post668440). Anyway, if I end up enjoying this and you have good ideas maybe I will become more active here.
(So basically since I don't read much I can't answer the questions about my favorite book/author and so on)
I would really appreciate it if you could read my thread and post suggestions. Thanks!

Greetings everyone! Jelly babies? ;) Welcome, and try not to get sucked into the space between words while you are here. Have fun and enjoy. :)
I don't bite....Well I promise not to leave any visible marks anyway!!! A dreamer with the soul of a poet, the heart of a lover; a strolling minstral and gentle heart out of context with the bitter and cruel world he no longer understands nor cares to, and man should be somewhere else, who wants to be somewhere else, who will be somewhere else with God's grace.
My faves are Shakespeare, Dickens, Trollope, Poe, all the classics really. Love detective books and poetry, especailly the romantics -Byron, Keats, Wordsworth, Shelly, Blake and all the other guys in the band. Also Bill Bryson, a true anglophile. Things that make me think, with political or social comment.
My hobbies and interests include: Raeding, Writing, Cars, Racing, Photography, Football, Rugby, Cricket, La belle femme, what do you expect I'm a man! Music in many forms and Old Movies.
I've come here to occasionally put some of my scribblings out there, mainly poetry. It's not to find any kind of acceptance, what comes out of me is usually highly personal but it would be nice to know it's somewhere :)
I Love Reading, I am new here, I don`t like to type very often but i will always be the friedliest person you ever see words from! :p :yawnb::thumbs_up
Hi i am very selfless
