hello everyone I'm troy and I'm introducing myself with this letter.
I am a freshman college student and i am glad to say i find joy in literature. Literature is a medium for me to reach a new world. I can experience the exhileration of ascending mt. Everst or get pulled into the mind of a drug addict on the cold streets of new york city. The spontaneous prose used by jack kerouac is my favorite writing style. This stream of consciousness style really made me yearn for the American dream.

I'm from Ethiopia. I like to listen to music and read books and i do enjoy movies... i'm not that into oudoors but
i do enjoy peoples company also:angel:

World citizen, with head full of nonsense.
Signed Sweety :party:

Hello,
I've been poking around several fascinating posts, so I decided to register.

Introduction I guess?
Well, here goes.
I'm new here (very). Just joined today as a matter of fact, and thought I should probably introduce myself before charging in and posting, though I'm sure that's fun too.
My name is Jessica, though I much prefer Jessi. I am a High School Student, and I enjoy reading, writing, and especially creating my own characters, which I often like to base off of people I know or other characters I admire.
I also play club basketball, so I'm busy an awful lot.
Oh. And I am have just started writing a fantasy novel (In case I haven't said it earlier, I practically breath fantasy.), though I am only at about 90,000 words so far. Getting there.
I LOVE puzzles and picking out small details that others miss, which is why I enjoy riddles so much.
Usually I'm sarcastic and quite . . . jolly . . . to say the least, but when I am in the process of participating in something I love, I can become extremely serious.
Anyhoo, that's about all there is to me.
Oh! I almost forgot. I love Robert Jordan and am currently reading his Wheel of Time series.
Now THAT'S all about there is to me. Been looking around and love this site, hope to spend a lot of time here. =]

I am 30 years old.. wow.. where did it go? I have a wonderful husband and 2 great kids that I absolutely unconditionally love with all of my being.
I LOVE reading and writing.. and if I wouldn't have gotten pregnant right out of high school I would have done something in college to support that. Instead I started working to provide for my family, and only had time for the occasional book and writing a quick poem..... well until 6 months ago...
I was paralyzed from the waist down in april, and aside from my sons Football practice and therapy, I have alot of time on my hands (or sitting on my butt :). So I am writing again.. and enjoying it. I wallow in my own self pity from time to time... but for the most part I am a pretty positive person and believe that me getting paralyzed got me back to me... writing....So here I am, trying to write the poem that is in my heart, and the story that has been juggling around in my head for years. . . I hope that this forum is what I need, just a little more added to my open time. Haha. I look forward to listening to your thoughts and ideas, and maybe making a few friends along the way..

That sums it all up really.
Well, there is also that my prefered genre is sci-fi/fantasy.
Here's a little anecdote: I just read The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut today and am now reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Considering that one is far left wing, and the other far right, I just found it kind of surprising that both made equal amounts of sense to me.
I hope that means I'm open minded, and not that I'm an apathetic sheeple.
One last thing, I guess, I'm, uh... well I also enjoy playing music, hopefully I can turn it into a living someday.

Hey, I'm Kaj, I'm an English major and I love literature. Right now I'm really into Haruki Murakami, Richard Yates, and Proust. I love traveling and getting out, but the idea of a life spent going to the beach and reading book doesn't sound like hell to me, or even purgatory. Hoping I'll have the patience and attention span to make it through the Old King James someday

Hey everybody, I'm Alex! I'm a high school student, and I'm really into fantasy, science fiction, superheroes, and stuff like that. Well. I guess that's it. I'll be posting some stories in the previously mentioned genres, so if you're into that kind of stuff keep an eye open. Cool.

Hello everyone. I'm Andrew, I'm a bookworm and I live in Scotland. I'm twenty-six years old and I'm currently studying animation in Glasgow.

I enjoy all sorts of books, fiction or non-fiction alike.

Looking forward to posting and getting involved,

Andrew

Wlc Andrew , Alex , Kaj .. and everyone .. :)

Hope you like it in here and hope to see you around

Have fun :D

I'm new to these forums as a participant, although I have been lurking about reading the threads for quite awhile. I have to say I thoroughly enjoy the discussions here.
My reading preferences lean towards classics, sci fi, fantasy, horror and historical fiction. I've recently begun working my way through the 1001 Books to Read Before you Die, with a few modifications; I saw that there is a top 100 list suggested by members of this site and am glad to see that the two lists mirror each other. Maybe I can work a bit on both ;)
I look forward to speaking with you all.

How's it goin?
