Sure. Watch out for spoilers in that thread. I almost always give a spoiler warning, but not everyone else does.
Hi! I'm 35 and have enjoyed reading for the most part of my life. I also write a bit. I've studied cultural history, and have many interests. Also many favorite authors and books.;)
Well Hi there!
I am new here, so I still need to get used to everything hehe
I am particularly interested in Charles Dickens, he is my favourite author. If anyone knows about some interesting threads concerning him please let me know hehe :D
A lot of people say that Terry Pratchett is the Dickens of the 21st Century, do you think so?
Hi Everyone
I am a research Scholar working on Nadine Gordimer.
I have been an ardent lover of literature throughout my life and will continue loving it till the last day of my life.....
I am interested into the writings of other writers based in South Africa.....as I am working on the novels and short stories of Gordimer...It will be a great help to me if i get a chance to know about other regional and little known writers of South Africa besides the big giants like Mphalele, Guma, Coetzee (I know he is based in Australia these days still he has his roots there in SA) and Steve Biko.
Cheers

hi I'm Luke, i live in the mountains of Wicklow in the Eastern province of Leinster in Ireland, not too far from the Irish Sea and often at certain times one can connect with a sense of mythology what with sea-mists and the long view through the pines ... I think America must be a fantastic country to produce a writer like Cormac McCarthy who I think is pretty much unsurpassed in modern fiction writing ... perhaps JM Coetzee's earlier work is as awesome but i feel blessed on the planet at present to have two living greats among us ...
anybody come across an American writer in the same league as McCarthy?
Hi,
I've chosen this nickname because I'm not a native English speaker and would like to improve my English by reading English literature and, I hope, by talking about it here in this forum.
I excuse myself in advance for all my grammar and spelling mistakes. Please feel free to correct me. I'm always grateful for any helpful hints concerning my English.

Hello, my name is Zachariah. I enjoy literature, as does everyone else on this forum, I would assume. Some of my favourite authors are Kafka, Daniel Quinn, Neil Gaiman, Nabakov, Beckett, Gene Wolf, and quite a few others.

Hi,Best regards to you all.
Just for the sake of posting my very first comment, here goes.
Hi everyone, Kartik here. Reading has been my most cherished hobby for as long as I can remember, and some of the most beautiful memories of my childhood revolve around a book.
Whiling away time lost in the innocent world of kid detectives, mythical creatures and far-away magical lands as I was nursing a fractured leg, spending hours blissfully lost in the aisles of a favorite bookstore, waking through entire nights during my vacations, desperate to reach the end of the latest masterpiece I'd endeavored to finish.
My interest has veered towards non-fiction today (largely history, sociology and linguistics) but prose is still what excites me.
Looking forward to interacting with fellow bibliophiles.
How delightfully modest of you to talk like that, you write flawlessly! I'd puff my chest, dig a flagpole into the ground, shout out Tarzan-style, and then proceed to party for days if I ever realized I'd reached that kind of a level in German. :PQuote:

Hello everyone, I'm very glad that I've stumbled upon this forum during my internet travels. I'm currently reading Dante, which I love. I have a vast literary taste, not quite set on one specific genre.
