Hello everyone. I am Adumelial - Adu for short. I came here after realizing that the movies I watch (Netflix) are of either Victorian, British, Naturalism, Romanticism, Medieval - I could probably go on with this list. I am presently watching "The Paradise" by Émile Zola whom I found out is a writer from the Naturalism movement. Another reason I am here is that I notice it is very hard for me to read fiction and find a good author because when having read 25 - 50 pages that I can predict the outcome because of the authors style of writing and/or it seems like something I have read or watched before - nothing I can take in and chew on. I have always wished I had taken a Lit class in college. English and Speech class were my favorites during those years. I always noticed my college peers that were in a Lit class as they had the most interesting books to read.
I am by nature a highly creative person. I love to dream and think of other periods of time people lived in. I like to write creatively but need some inspiration there. I think reading Literature will help me. I used to write poetry in my teens. I can still write and love forums in general.
I reside in the US and I love to travel! I have been to Germany 3x, England 4x, Turkey, Scotland, Italy, Austria. Also many places within our own United States. I still want to travel to France and Italy. My love for Vampire movies and books makes be yearn to roam the Carpathian Mountains and Slavic regions therein.
I hold degrees in Computer Science and another in Landscape Design. I worked tech for a few years then came back to my first profession that of being a domestic goddess. :o)
My hobbies also include Graphic Art - I am a Creator/Developer in two Online Virtual Communities (since 2007). I love cooking. Oh and Gardening both indoors and out has long been a passion of mine. Art is very appealing to me and I collect art stock on my computer in all forms. I also love crafts and have a wide and vast interest and skill set there.
The Literature Network seems like a place I can enjoy and widen my pleasure of learning. Being a professional student is something I could easily become quite easily. I hope I find myself getting lost in some of the reads here. I look forward also to reading the forums as well.
I have enjoyed using this website since high school, but did not become a member until now. Hope to contribute to this website in the near future!
hello, my name is Dele Bartholomew, i wish to know more about literature network forum and the objective of the community too. So that i may know what to do next.
Hello! I'm a 59 year old single mother living with her 22 year old son in semi-rural PA. Indiana boasts the site of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania - at which I graduated with a B.A. in Sociology in December 2013 (I was a late bloomer!). I was born in Maryland, just 8 miles outside of D.C., and spent just over 20 years in Melbourne, Australia (where my son was born) until 2003 (when we settled here in Indiana, PA). Currently I'm unemployed (the job market here is mainly devoted to retail or home help, neither of which I can do) and considering applying for the Masters' Program in English Composition & Literature at IUP. My main interest is social justice (especially poverty).
Hi,
I am an investment banker turned business journalist turned media manager turned tech product manager.
My love for literature and books were sparked by both sets of grandparents and parents and siblings.
I stumbled into the forum as I was investigating how I should get into Shakespeare. I have read Charles and Mary Lamb's versions through school and that's about that. Got hooked into Shakespeare recently as I stumbled (again; sure do lots of stumbling) into the shakespeare uncovered program in YouTube. Amazing stuff.
My idea now is to watch the bbc complete shakespeare with a book for companionship. Have decided on Hamlet as the first and Julius Caesar next for this weekend.
Cheers,
Nagaraj
Hello, everyone! I hope I finally found the place where people I trully respect meet each others!
I am a student of philology. My favourite "activity" is reading and writing. These days I work with Absurd Drama, and I would be rather happy if I found someone to talk about this subject and many others, of course. As I write a seminar work on this topic, I am pretty much absorbed in the matter, and everything I think about is Absurd, theatre, Beckett, Ionesco, Pinter and Genet, history background, power of language; but that is just my way... I am the happiest when I fall in love with a writer's world.
I am also in love with English language... and Russian, and French, and Spanish, and even Japanese lately.
So then, I would appreciate company of people who share my passions.
Thank you! Have a great day!
hi all, i am here to seek advice from fellow bibliophiles. i have recently added to my collection and have started to branch out into first editions of french writers. i am hoping, with your help, to increase my knowledge and appreciation.
if anyone has any knowledge of French and German publishers of the late 1800's i would love a little chat.
i have been a great lover of books from an early age, i love to read anything from modern science fiction to the classic literature. From Jessica meats to Alexamenus of Teos. my tastes are broad and varied.....i do draw the line at anything written by Jeremy Clarkson.....
Good afternoon :) I have recently come across this website. After finding it very interesting, I decided to register and enjoy it. I am obviously interested in literature, and I hope to widen my literature knowledge. My goal is also to understand how other readers think about several subjects, as well as to find out what others think about several pieces that I have enjoyed very much. Even though I am not a native English speaker, I do hope to make myself understood, and to understand others as good as possible. Other than literature, I also enjoy watching anime and movies, reading manga, writing, and corresponding with different people across the world.
I'll be in your care! Nice to meet everyone!
yes, i am here to explore the world of literature and have some great time here
Hello, I am an aspiring writer who wants to broaden my world of literature and experiences in writing!
I am currently a full-time student in my last year of university, while also working part-time as an administrative assistant!
I've written quite a few things, but the only people who read them are my teddy bears, parents, brother and dog.
Oh- I also live in South Africa! ^~^/
hello everyone! I very like to enjoin this forum. I've filled in a few things in my profile for you to check. In addition to that let me add a few things.
Hello, all. Brand new here. I started my "Will Project" in May: re-reading / reading all of Shakespeare-- in rough order of composition. In the homestretch, now, and most of my people are either sick of hearing me talk Will or can't relate now. (Can't talk "Richard II" or "King John" with most folks.) Looking for comrades and commiserants, online and in person.
