Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

I'm 62 and I've been reading for fifty-seven years. For the first twenty my reading was sporadic and varied--I read more or less anything that came into my view. But as I grew older I began to limit my reading to certain authors that seemed to be worthwhile, that is, so-called "serious world writers."

My view is this: We have a certain amount of time in our life. Why waste it on reading mediocre works. Why not read the best.

I have to say that I have been searching for quite awhile for a site that is devoted to literature, and I've found it in this site. In my humble opinion, this is the best site I have found on the entire net.

Hello everyone! My name is Samyak Shertok. I am a native of Nepal pursuing an undergraduate degree in English in the US. I am happy to be a part of this club. Thank you all!

Hello Everyone I am Joanna Rose….and I am here to have some fun and I guess I will be visiting this amazing site regularly. I work in a Consultancy and have a happy go lucky nature.

Hello everybody, I introduced myself elsewhere on this forum but I don't mind doing it again. At this moment I am the newest member of the Literature Network (I hope more will keep coming after me!) My name is Andrew and I live in Rockford, Illinois, some 100 km outside of Chicago. I am married and have two kids, two cats, and a dog. I am 45 years old and have been interested in literature since I learned to read some 40 years ago. I have books all over the house and it drives my wife nuts. My son is 13 and now seems to be becoming a bit more interested in reading (what do you expect from a 13-year-old?? he just doesn't like to read all that much, but he likes his English teacher at school and therefore gets some encouragement at school.) My daughter just turned six and is learning to read in kindergarten. She has checked out some books from the school library and has read them to me!! I am the proudest dad in the world to see her reading! Oh, and my wife loves books too, but our tastes don't overlap at all! That's it. Ask me about my favorite books and I'll talk for hours.

I'm a historian from Croatia. I like to be called Edna, or Ednie. I love books... And I hope you can help me find some great classics. Thanks, guys! I'm glad to be here! ~ E.

Hi everyone. I am Roger, and I am Belgian. I found this forum whilst searching for a forum to discuss Goethe. As I am not only interested in Goethe, but, to summarize, in what is used to be called the "great classics" (like, apart from Goethe, f.e. Dostojewski, Tolstoi, Camus, Shakespeare, I did not hesitate to register , as I am pretty sure to find more than enough here.

Hi all! I'm actually not newbie, but it's been really long time since I posted here... Anyway I'm back and looking forward to conversations about lit :)

Nice to meet you jackie. It sounds like Lit Net is perfect for you. Welcome. :)

Hello! I'm from Oxford, UK and this is my first post so I thought I'd better stop by and say hello. I'm a big fan of Victorian novels especially sensation novels by M.E Braddon and Wilkie Collins. My favourite book is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte :) I'm looking forward to getting to know some more people and talking about books!

hello to all of you, and welcome to LitNet

Hello everyone. I came across this site yesterday when I was browsing on-line. I'm English, mid-50s, transplanted to Wales for more than 20 years now, but planning to shift back next year. Total bibliophile - I cannot live without books. Fortunately we live within striking distance of Hay-on-Wye, famous for its bookshops, so make regular visits there and rarely come away empty-handed.

Thomas Hardy is my favourite author, and I love poetry too, especially the Dymock/Georgian poets.

Hello there. I'm Luke and I'm new here! I'm 24 and I've recently got myself back into writing and found this place through a random Google search to try find places with like-minded people to share stories with.
I wrote 2 short stories about a year ago for competitions and then didn't do anymore until recently. Just finished another and am planning my next story, so I'll post some soon for people to read. Will be nice to get some feedback! :)
