Hi,
I am Rebecca, living in the Middle East. I have homeschooled my five children and in the process also worked on my own education. I am slowly working through some classics using the Roman Roads Media Western Culture series for guidance, along wth a few other resources. I am currently reading the Iliad for the second time.
I have not found anyone in my real life who are interested in reading and/or discussing the great books, so I am happy to find this discussion group.
Welcome Rebecca!
Take a look around.
Hi I'm Ally and I'll try not to bore you,
I'm a student (waitress on the weekend, dark humorist on the full time) and obviously I love literature. I have the kind of wanderlust that can be satisfied, with the right book. My favourite book is Fahrenheit 451 because in my opinion, any author who writes portraying such a strong love for books, speaking from characters with such disdain towards them, is incredible.
Feel free to message me, I'm always up for a conversation or a debate.
I want an adventure.
Welcome Ally,
I also enjoyed reading Fahrenheit 451.
I hope you'll like it here
Thank God, I was able to register.
Seated in crimping ferns uncurling now
And moss as green as silk - there let me be
By the grey-powdered trunk of old oak tree
Buried in green delights to which the heart
Clings with delight and beats as loath to part...
--John Clare
(1793-1864)
Hello. I'm just an old guy who reads stuff now and again. I wanted a place to get away from politics for a while, and since I really like Shakespeare, this seemed like it might be an interesting forum. I'm hoping you are more interesting than I am. I guess I'll go poke around some now and see.
Hello! I am very interested in religion, mythology, and philosophy ... I guess that is the right place for someone like me, though I am not a native speaker. I am from Berlin, Germany, Europe. If you find any mistakes in my writing, please let me know, for I am also here to improve my English. Best regards! Runa
Beautiful avatar, Runa. Make yourself at home. There are a few German speaking people around.
Hi everyone, my name's Elisa. I'm here to share my love for literature! I read all day, mostly classic novels. I'm from Italy, so my English is not perfect. However, I hope I'll try to improve and please, forgive me for my mistakes :). Besides I like listening to classical music, watching ballet and writing. Nice to meet you!
Welcome, Elisa! :)
Thanks!
Welcome, Elisa! There is an active thread at the moment on Chekhov's stories you might be interested in.
Hi, my name is Rudy and your board was interesting, because I also love the classics. What books are you currently reading?Quote:
