This should have been my first post, but it (obviously) was not. So....Hello!
I love books and have been searching for a good lit forum forever, and it looks like I finally got lucky. I enjoy Nineteenth century writings the most, but read just about everything that seems interesting and enlightening.
I hope to enjoy my stay. :)
Ciao

I Am a man, of controversy brewed
a gentleman, in times where manners skewed
Born, of love, under the southern sun
where death forever lives, sorrow never undone
I live in hope,
though grief has been my share
a lover of those who hate me
an end to those who bait me
the heart i touch will never know despair
To top it all I know my bane
that modesty is not mine
to that, myself i answer; oh shut-up you pain
for who adds water to wine.

Hi everybody,my name is Assia 21 of age.It s a pleasure to join you on this website in order to share with you my ideas and works,but also to let me know about yours.
Ok,i think that's okay,i hope that you will love my company !!! Take good care everyone :yawnb:
hey all
just your regular old english major from a small university in mobile, al dealing with the crisis of the soul and of mankind, and occasionally sounding melodramatic...haha...
hey all. i'm a student, philosophy major. i love this board. it helps me alot.
Hello! I stumbled across this place while looking up some Shakespeare thingums... looks quite interesting.
I'm doing a degree in English Literature (God help me, I'm a finalist), which I hope to turn into a masters, and then a doctorate. I specialise in Medieval Literature, but really like anything, apart from modern stuff (Evelyn Waugh was the last great writer, as far as I am concerned).
I'm currently reading Kormaks saga, some very random (but very enjoyable) Anglo-Norman hagiography, and The Merchant of Venice for something a little bit different.
Umm, so I am semi-studying to become a teacher of the High School English persuasion. I felt ill prepared leaving high school and entering college so I thought perhaps I should become a teacher to help point students who would usually not care about anything after high school towards something better in their life. I also believe in the power of words and writing, I use it as a therapy and believe if students can get in touch with their creativity in any way, it will make a better world...I don't know.
I also figured being a teacher would allow me to travel in the summer time and work on writing and possibly any novels that I may want to write.
Yes... I'd go on this website a lot... so I want to write in forums too! My name is Mira, I'm going to finish my IGCSEs in a few months (I'm scared :s) then I'm going to do A-Level, go to college, get a good job, and earn some money.
And once I have enough funds I'm going to start a reading campaign to improve adult literacy rates throughout the world (it's 27% in Mali! In 2008!) putting to better use the second-hand books that people usually throw away. And then I'll make a research centre that discovers better ways to build wheelchairs and other facilities for disabled people, and also expanding their options for leisure and social activities, and then if I have time I'll start classes teaching children philosophy and political subjects, raising awareness to the world around them. But I need to pass my IGCSEs first. :)
I have a question to everybody. Has any of you red Somerset Maugham's The Moon and Sixpence?
Can Namy one help me? has anyone read Somerset Maugham's The Moon and Sixpence?

Hello,
I just joined the forum today and this is my first post. Thought I would say a hi and introduce myself, (which I promise, is very brief) - Indian by origin, a marketing professional, books have been my best friends for as long as I can remember and am constantly on the search for an excuse to travel. Hope to share some good literature from around the world here.
