Ray Bradbury. A great collection of his short stories, by the way.Quote:

Have a look at the How old will you be in 2007? (Please take the poll) thread then.Quote:

I enjoy music of all kinds. I don't have much time for hobbies as such but enjoy spending time with my husband and our families including spending time with our niece, nephew and god-daughter! I like fine wines and entertaining friends!:) I am looking forward to spending time on this forum and hope to gain further insights into writers both past and present and wish I knew of this forum when I was at school.
Hullo Ellie,:wave: Welcome aboard.Quote:

I'm quite intimadated by the amount of posts on here, but I'm glad aswell! I was looking for a literature forum and this came up on Google
Ohh, where to start about me...Well, I'm in 6th Form at school, taking Englsih Literature, Theatre Studies, Economics and History for my AS levels. I'm also currently attempting to decide what on earth to do at university!
I love reading, and after my exceptionall inspiring teacher for GCSE, adore Hardy. I also love Orwell, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Terry Pratchett and various other books and authors. Poetry isn't so much my cup of tea, but I adore Havisham by Carrol Ann Duffy, Prayer Before Birth by Louis MacNeice and the T.S.Eliot that I've read. I love going to the theatre-Shakespeare, Brect, Physical theatre pieces, musicals, anything!
Aside from that I also love music; I've had singing lesons for years, sing in a county choir, help run a samba band at school and listen to most genres, though I particaully love Antony and the Johnsons, Kate Bush, Evanescence, Biffy Clyro, System of a Down and Peer Gynt By Greig.
I also play rugby, both for Reading U17's and Berkshire, and belong to an amateur theatre, where we're doing Calamity Jane this year.
The thing which gets to me most is the state of the world; I hate how mush the human race has done to destroy it, and how even now it might be too late to halt the damage. I suppose reading might be considered a form of escapism for me...
I'd love to get really involved on this forum, as you all seem like really interesting people, and just generally I love discussing things I've read and getting tips for items to add to my frowing list of 'want to read'.
Oh, and I apologise in advance for my atrocious spelling-I will try to keep it in check!
Hello everyone, Happy Tuesday!
This is my first time on this site, so let me introduce myself.
I am 22 years old, originally from Romania, moved to Florida when I was a little girl, now I reside in Las Vegas. I feel in love with the classics when I first read Plato in the 6th grade. I am working towards a degree in History and hope to get a Masters in Literature.
Looking forward to reading more on the posts.
Welcome ruth! Welcome pumpkin! :) Glad to have ya on board

hello!! I'm new here!:p
I am also new.
Sorry! I posted twice accidently

Anyway, my name is Amanda. 'Anda is a nickname I earned a few years ago after my friends grew tired of coming up with qualifiers for the multitudes of Amandas that kept cropping up in the 90s (being 5'8", "Big Amanda" had to be avoided at all costs).
I am 25, and I have lived in 20 homes. Apparently I inherited my parents' wanderlust; most of my adult life has been devoted to working only hard enough to earn travel money and to meet future couch-surfing sponsors. I try to visit a new place in the United States and a new country abroad every year. So far I've been to Ireland, England, Italy, Israel, Spain, Wales, Colorado, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
I started college in 1999, studying Graphic Design. As a student I was successful. As a happy person, I was completely miserable. After two years I left, and in the four years that followed, I moved around in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island, working for Greenpeace and summer camps. Two years ago I returned to school as a Literature major. I graduate in May. I'm gagging for the cap and gown.
After graduation I'm quitting my job, packing up my house, and moving to Argentina to be an English teacher for a year. I need a break before I continue my education god-knows-where. There just hasn't been time to get through the Norton Anthologies, take the GREs, get my TEFL certification, ace the subject GREs, complete my 16 credits, and get through my 40-hour work week, while maintaining my social life and my travel habit.
But the future awaits. And it looks bright from here.

Hello there
I am Vinaya...15 year old girl from India (Asia)..I love reading just about anything.My favourite authors include J.R.R.Tolkein, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Baroness Orcazy, Agatha Christe, J.K.Rowling and well lots more..I am hoping to get a lot of reading done here..I don't own lots of books...but I usually visit the library.
I also find myself to be a reader of fanfiction...although not all I read mostly in the LOTR and HP category...thats about it really.
Hi all! :)
Hey, most of the authors you have mentioned over here are included in my favourites. :DQuote:

Hi Im Kashna, I'm Sri Lankan Welsh. I was born in Hong Kong, and am currently living in England; I have to admit my puncuality, grammer and of course spelling are pretty bad. But what I truely love is writting and books.
I love the Empire series about Juilus Ceaser, Earth Children series by Jean Auel and of course The book Wild swans. Im 15 by the way, I kinda forgot to mention that...and my favourite colours yellow.
Hey,Lilmisstake welcome on the forum.I hope u like it here.I'm 15 too.
and your puncuality, grammer and spelling don't look that bad.
I'm Petra Wiggin. For those of you who have read Orson Scott Card, you will get my name. For those who haven't, I'll explain if you want. Um . . . I love to read. Like, LOVE, to read. I have read everyday since I was nine, and before that I would pretend I read everyday. I have read everything from the Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot to Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (the condensed version, something about cutting out the parts where he spends fifteen pages mooning over the sunset). I love to write as well, though that comes much harder. I have been trying to write a book since I was nine, and have only gotten to the eleventh chapter -- once. It is hard. I don't think that, or aspire to, write the "American Masterpiece",but I don't want to write a book I do not love. Does that sound strange? And besides, I like almost every genre, so I can't decide what I want to write.
Mhmmm, anything else . . .
Ilove movies as well. Almost all kinds ecxept horror, hard-core war, and porn;) I love fantasy, sci-fi, and classic/period movies, especially when it is all combined.
I have very strong opinions. I'm not afraid ti say them. But I do not likehurting people with my opinions, though I don't mind offending them. I know, just a little paradoxical.
Thats all I'm going to say for now. Nice to meet you guys, and I hope I can become an integeral part of this community. Write to you later . . . bye!:alien:
