Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

I like reading but am not a literary sort. I have varied tastes and enjoy listening to people talk about books, depending on how the discussion goes. I'll wander around a while and see if I fit in anywhere.

Delmar

this is the first time i post something on a web. a liitle bit nervous.i don't know whether this might be read and responded. i have recently read some novels in the Norton Anthology of American Literature. as a foreign language learner, i felt i couldn't understand them very well, thoug i really love those writing, say, Winter Dream by F. Scott Fitagerald, Pnin by Vladmir Nabokov, the man who studied Yoga by Norman Mailer, The life you save may be your own by Flannery O'connor, Life Story by John Barth, and many others, which happened to make me feel the people's life in those stories are quite the same as what i witness today in China.Anyhow, i log in in order to get some help from the English native speaker,esp. experts on literature.

Hiya, Im diggy and i started french in the j8th grade. Absolutely love the language and still have a far way to go to be able to speak it fluently:)

Hello everyone,

I never know what to say when introducing myself. I'm just me. Words that I could use to describe myself seem to belong to someone else. I'm currently falling back in love with reading and I've joined up here to discover books I might never find by browsing the bookshops in the city.

Peace,

Copernicus. :)

Hey everyone, I just signed up for this site, and I'm not the best at figuring what to say, but I'm lacking inspiration but am craving to write. Hopefully I'll get some feedback when I produce something.
Since a lot of reading influences a lot of writing, I guess I'll say that I have a (more recently selective) list of favorite books/authors that include Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club, Choke, etc), JRR Tolkien (the linguistics genius), Anne Rice (some reservations on this but I love her style sometimes), and whatever happens along the way.

By the way, 'indil' means flower in Quenya (elvish by JRR Tolkien), fyi. Not my name

Hey everyone I'm new here so I guess I have to make some sort of introduction - Here it goes I'm 17 running on the fuel of enthusiasm, working hard for a freedom of a kind that would probably never come. I am in a really funky mood right now so if you want to know more you'd have to ask later. : )

Hi, I'm Alejandro fom Bueno Aires and I´ve always shared our grest writer J.L.Borges fascination with ancient germanic literatures, espcially anglo-saxon and scandinavian.

I'm 23 and just joined because I finished Don Quixote but found I had no one whith whom to discuss it. This site looks awesome for a nerd like me. Well, I'm off to the Cervantes forum...

Hello everyone, I'm the new here, and I like reading and wrting novels and short stroies.

Hello literature lovers,
to answer the forum's request I come here with a brief introduction :)

I was born in the Netherlands, but have been roaming the earth for quite some years now. At this moment I am 25 years of age, and back in the capital of my mothercountry. This winter I will be attending the New York Film Academy in New York City, an adventure I am well looking forward too!

My lit-hero is Anaïs Nin, I love her for so many reasons, her words being the most prominent one.

Some of my favorite books are...

Traumnovelle by Arthur Schnitzler
Innocents by Gilbert Adair
In Defense of Sin by John Portmann
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Wilderness and The American Night by Jim Morrison ♥
The Most Beautiful Woman in Town by Charles Bukowski
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
The Scent of Your Breath by Melissa P.
On The Road by Jack Kerouac
American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis

I also really love John Wilmot's Poetry and written letters!

I hope to also roam this web forum when I have time, and getting to know interesting other literature lovers!

PS.
I cannot believe I didn't write down Anaïs' works in my favorites list!
Safe to say, I love everything she ever wrote ;)

I just learned of your site today and have not yet had a chance to look around. I imagine that you will learn more about me from any comments I post than anything I may think I know about myself.

...hmm...what I read (I'll jump between Titles and Authors here) anything by Amy Tan, David Baldacci, Vince Flynn, John Mortimer's Rumpole Series, almost anything by Alexander McCall Smith (Ladies No.1 Detective Agency, 54 Scotland Street, Sunday Philosophy Club) series', Charles Dickenson, Les Miserable, Cold Mountain, Snow Falling on Cedars, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Secret Lives of Bees, Poe, Dan Brown, and so many more.

I look forward to learning more about the site and the members.

Mdmsll BB,

I am so glad to see Lolita listed in your favorites list. This is a funny book, so absurd, how anyone can think it is porn, obviously hasn't read it fully.

~L

Hi L, fellow newling ;)

I agree with you, it's taking one part and stretching it, while overlooking the essential ingredients. My theory is that people see in things, the things they wish to see, so when people call Lolita pornography, well, that says a lot about them ;)

Hello mdmsll BB,

Well said!

Hello. My Preferred name is Remii though its nothing like my real name. I always thought you should have two names. the one that your parents give you, which reflects there personality, and the name that you bestow upon yourself, which ultimatly reflects yourself, your soul all compressed into this one name.

I always like to introduce myself with a statement that i hope will effect readers in some way even if it is minute.
i have just finnished yr nine, and I have been thinking more and more about my future. I decided to keep my options open and explore everything. i have started with my favourites including writing. i would welcome ANY advice that anyone has to offer!
I hope you enjoy things that i post.
:D

Hello all. Young and younger.:)

I am a newcomer to this precious site. I am glad to be here. I was reading books since my childhood, even though most of them were fairytales and the stories about adventurers and so on. So when I saw that site for the first time I was overpowered by all these comments, which are good-minded and good-natured mostly.

I hope in the good companionship here.
I should say that my English is not very good.
But I am still working to improve it.
Sometime you can find some bad grammar.:yawnb: :)
