Hi,
I am 33 and from Oregon. Married for 14 years with a 13 year old. I love to read and every time I get a chance I grab a book. I am currently a student and taking Wrld Lit which is an awesome exposure to other works. I am a huge Jodi Piccoult fan and my all time favorite book is Tom Sawyer from Mark Twain. Anyway I look forward to meeting you on the site and reading with you. Take care, :)
maybe you should think about posting in a different place.Quote:

Hi, I just found this place today surfing the net for William Blake material and was very excited to find it so I joined.
I guess I'll start off by saying that I'm in my second year of university and planning to be an English major. I'm currently taking Romantic Lit and Canadian Lit at the University of Manitoba. I'm 29, married and have 3 daughters. I started my family young which in turn is making me finish my schooling late.
Guess there's not much else to say about me.. :) Look forward to meeting everyone!
Hello everyone! This is the first forum that I've been on, but I decided that if I should pick a forum, this one looks like a good place to start.
I'm a junior in high school, and I love to read! and write, and draw....and right now it seems like the majority of my classmates don't appreciate reading (and if they do, they continuously read vapid, shallow things like Twilight or Maximum Ride, or whatever horrible novels people are reading nowadays).
I'm hoping to find other people who appreciate the good, strong literature of the past. Nobody reades Goethe anymore, or DH Lawrence, or Oscar Wilde, etc, I could go on forever. It seems the old writers have been forgotten and replaced by people like JK Rowling and Stephanie Meyer and other people...
I always love discussing the books that I'm reading, but my friends never consider reading the best stuff (they're all hyped up on Wheel of Time, Pendgragon, and The Wizard Heir).
hopefully I can get in a satisfactory amount of discussion here. sorry for such a long intro...
love, Spyri

Hi I'm MSalah29 and I probably don't have anything as interesting as you guys have to say. Some things about me: I absolutely love literature- from poems to novels to plays. I'm currently really into Edgar Allan Poe, DH Lawerence's Women in Love and a lot of Harold Pinter plays. We're also studying Virgil's The Aeneaid which is amazingly fascinating and I can't wait to finish it. I'm going to be in my first year of university this time next year!! Can't wait!! I finally get to study just English- my passion. I also love drawing and find art a true inspiration. So yeah thats a bit about me.:p
Hello, Im a college student, currently looking for insight on a paper for a final exam... ahhhh!!

Hello everyone. I'm Pablo. I'm from Córdoba, Argentina and I am a traslation student. I like reading English Literature - it helps me practice and improve my English skills. Now I'm about to do a tour of this site. Saludos!
Hello!
I'm a university student in Kentucky, and although I'm majoring in dietetics, I love reading. Admittedly, what brought me to this forum was doing a search for information on a paper for class, but once I started looking around, I thought to myself "what a great community! Full of people that share my love for all things literary. I'm actually a little embarassed that my first post was asking for input on a paper, having previously sworn never to be "one of those people".
I'm looking forward to the end of the semester because that means free time for reading, and being online which means I can participate here!
Hello everyone, I'm from Sydney, Australia and have just recently completed my final year of high school and hope to commence university next year. I have a deep passion for literature and language particularly literary theory and enjoy reading and writing, but mainly writing essays. I found these forums on Google because I was actually looking for a forum just like this. I searched for, "literature forums," and this was the first link. I hope to be active on these forums and participate in discussions.
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. I found this forum through intentional Google searching. I despise vulgarity in all of its forms and hope to find none here. I read for about two hours everyday while on the subway. Despite all the noise often accompanied with bad smell, this is arguably the best part of my day. I enjoy losing myself in a good read, preferably written centuries ago. I feel like an explorer in that person's mind, a person that, hopefully, exceeded my humble self in wisdom and intelligence.
Unlike many of you here, I've only started reading after graduating from High School. I missed out on many adventurous and "coming of age" tales that I should have been reading as a child and a teenager. However, I'm lucky to have "discovered" the world of literature. It has become the most fulfilling aspect of my life, which is otherwise an uneventful combination of work and studies with a topping of disappointment.
My favorite book is 1984, I've read it many times over and at times find myself opening it up on a random page and immediately being intellectually engrossed by it.
