I have always relied on rationale to steer me through the learning process of any subject I might be interested in which for my undergraduate years was mathematics and later on when I overlapped into physics.
Hopefully, I will be as open-minded as is necessary because I have come here to learn but I have some reservations regarding whether it will be a successful foray into a subject [literature] that I’ve often regarded as anathema to reasoned exploration.
I shall endeavour to explain my somewhat heretical position in my first post …
Hello all!
I'm Steve and I live in North Carolina in the US. I majored in history in school, and now work at a college. As I just finished my master's degree, I finally have time to read! My biggest problem is finding good stuff to read. None of my friends read all that much, so finding suggestions is difficult.
Hi,
I'm Ughek.
I am new to this forum and am loving it. I write poetry and have published a book of poetry last year. I am sure I will find a lot of interesting things here to read!
I am in highschool and i want feedback to try and get better. I speak english and french and really enjoy learning new languages. I also love sitting down with a good book and drifting off into my imagination.
Hello, everyone :)
I'm a 16-year-old girl from Dubrovnik, Croatia. I'm half-American and half-Croatian, so I speak both almost perfectly, but English is my mother tongue. I'm currently a junior at high school and plan to study in the United States, preferably UC Berkeley (fingers crossed!). My main interests are linguistics, history, and, of course, literature.
I love reading and writing, which is basically why I joined this thread. I can't wait to start talking to users who love books as much as I do and hope I learn how to argue and/or discuss properly. My favorite book is currently A Tale of Two Cities (it changes from time to time) and I can't pick a favorite author for the life of me.
As for other media, I am a big fan of the TV shows Doctor Who, Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. My favorite movies are Dead Poet's Society (predictable, I know), Moonrise Kingdom and The Shawshank Redemption. Music-wise, I listen mostly to rock, the softer, darker kind. Bands like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Doors...I like Lana del Rey and Gotye a lot though.
I look forward to meeting all of you :)
Greetings, all :D
A Tale of Two Cities was the fourth Dickens book I read as a teenager, and I loved it! It is so difficult to pick my favorite Dickens book but Charles Darnay is easily one of my favorite characters of all time!Quote:

I remember having finished reading Oliver Twist and not being too immpressed, but then my grandmother made me read A Tale of Two Cities and I just fell in love. I agree, Darnay is a great character; him and Dr. Manette are my two favorites.
Hi everyone,
I am 33 years old and i come from this country very far away, where people used to be great writers, all of them, Rousseau, Balzac, Louis Ferdinand Celine, Bob Marley (yes, he is actually born in a city called "Toulouse" and wrote two excellent novels, undercover), but something happened... and now we do not even win the world cup or anything, this place is a mess and our lives just depend on cheese production and weapons exportations. That is France, yeah, come and visit us soon !
Appart from my useless nationality (i am like cancer or bad knees, i have no borders), i like very much writing ! Oh yes i do. I write all kind of things, from mementos to love songs, i also write cereals notice, just for the fun. My great project is to re-write the holy bible, in a more popular version, maybe four or five pages only, with jokes in it and less characters, only Jesus actually, who is my favorite, because of the shoes and i don't know why really, just like Jennifer Lopez, i love her and i don't know why, but with a smaller ***.
Anyway, i take every kind of medication, i love pommel-horse and, in 10 years, i see myself living on royalties of a song i wrote cause i am also playing the guitar, the song is called "Baby, you're gonna love your man" and i hope it will hit the top of the pop soon.
My english is not perfect, and i think this is great, and i don't know what else i could say.
Oh... yes, one last thing :
If i was a fruit, i would be a strawberry, because i don't know many fruits-names in english.
I am gonna read your stories now and i hope i will like and understand it.
Bye now.

*pokes head in* I suppose I'm in the right place for introductions...
Hello! I'm Gervaise, or Gervais, or Katie, whatever you want. The name comes from the really minor character Petit Gervais from Les Miserables, which is one of my favorite books (the E came in the end after a friend pointed out that Gervaise would be feminine, after I had already made an account on another site under the name Gervais.) I'm probably going to be mostly lurking on here, to be honest. 16 year old female, southeastern US, not sure if major will be English or music.
To butt in on the conversation above, I love Tale of Two Cities as well.
