Hi everyone, I am not a student of literature, but my wife is and I am here to just chat and ask questions when I am in the dark :)
Welcome to the site OB. Give yourself over to the dark side. :)
Hey everyone! My name is Bart (as the username sort of gives away). I'm a Dutch student of English Language & Culture, 24 currently (getting old). Considering my degree, I have to read books as you can probably imagine, and since my interest in literature is ever-increasing, I thought I'd join this forum. :) Hobbies include, besides reading of course: tennis, video games, playing the piano, singing and beer (especially Belgian beer). Some of my favourite books include The Catcher in the Rye, The Raw Shark Texts and Nooit Meer Slapen (a Dutch novel).
Looking forward to posting and reading on this forum!
Hallo en welkom, Bart. English literature and Dutch beer are refined tastes. I'm sure you will bring the site a touch of class. Please enjoy yourself here. :)
Haha, dankjewel! :) Are you Dutch/Belgian/otherwise Dutch-speaking yourself?
If I manage to bring class to anything that would be a first in my life. :lol:
Neen, ik spreek niet goed Nederlands--only enough to get myself in trouble. Ik ben Amerikaans. It's always interesting to see how close Dutch is to its English cousin, though. If you run into Kiki, she speaks Dutch (and German and French, I think). Welcome again to the site. :)Quote:

Welcome to the site Jakym. To looks like you'll bring some great writing here. Don't be shy about posting. Welcome again. :)
Hello to everybody
I've got a question concerning William Wordsworth. Does anybody know who was the Collins in the poet's poem Remembrance of Collins?
Hi everyone, A friend recommended I check this place out and so far, his advice has not failed me. I love reading and writing (that should be obvious) as well as lots of outdoorsy activities. I'm a graduate student in physics, which makes a lot of people question my sanity and dedication to writing. But the truth is, I chose physics to be a challenge for myself and didn't really expect to go this far with it. I'll get my degree in a few years and who knows what I'll do then. I like the research but it doesn't leave me a lot of writing time. I've always had grand ambitions, some of which I still plan to accomplish. Two of my ambitions, which I hope to realize before I graduate, are getting my motorcycle license and taking helicopter flight lessons.
Welcome Abnormalalien! :alien::alien::alien: it sounds like you have some interests that could give a valuable sense of authenticity to your fiction (if that is what you want to write). How many other writers know what happens in a physics lab, or helicopter cockpit, or on the back of a Harley? That's bound to be an advantage. In any case, welcome to the site. It's nice to have you here. :)
Hi, I'm a literature lover passionate about everything related to Victorian Age. My favorite authors are Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy (my nickname is taken from a character of his, indeed).
