Hi Cruci! Welcome to the forum and I hope that you will enjoy your stay here. :D
Greetings :D
Interesting site... albeit a bit confusing. I'm sure I shall get the hang of it before to long.
Welcome Cruci and kashka. It's not so confusing once you get the hang of it. I hope you'll like lit net.
I think it is the sheer number of forums which is creating the confusing. Good to find somewhere dedicated to books though!Quote:

Howdy all!
This looks like a great forum.
I mainly read the "classics", but am looking for introductions to more modern fiction, so don't be shy.
Lots of good threads for me to get caught up on, so i'll talk to you soon.
Welcome to the forum, whiskey and ac40! Have fun!
whiskey, you will find some good suggestions here for Modern Fiction in General Literature.
Greetings everyone,
I have been watching the conversations, and noted how so many users have great relationships with the others and I was getting a little wistful until I saw this thread, so I will try to introduce myself and make some new friends.
My user name, as you may have guessed, is from T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland" and my motto, "Noli me tangere" from Wyatt's "Whoso list to hunt" - I believe these bookend me nicely. I have an MA in English literature, with an emphasis in comparative lit. . .my favorite areas are Renaissance lit and Modernist poetry, although I rarely meet a piece of poetry or prose I don't like (Ulysses being the major exception!) :brow:
I have many interests and hobbies. In addition to working as a labor consultant, I teach ballroom dancing, specializing in International Latin style. I also ride horses competitively in dressage events. I have a 17 year old Thoroughbred named Alexander the Great and a 2 year old Rhinelander named Eurythmic that is waiting to take over Alex's job when he retires. I also have a 22 year old Thoroughbred that I retired from jumping competitions. I also participate in local theatre/opera, play a smashing game of tennis, downhill ski, and spend any leisure time (ha ha) fly fishing for trout.
I love the forum, as I have not had an outlet to discuss what I read for a long time. My significant other is starting to hide under the bed at the mere mention of "deconstruction," and heaven forbid I mention the name Umberto Eco! :lol: Poor little chemist/physicist!!
I look forward to chatting with you all soon-
Hi All! :wave:
Hi Hyacinth! :wave: I hope I will be seeing you around. You sound like a very interesting person. Friendships are built over time, but if you are interesting, nice, and take part in discussions and games, you will soon find yourself cyber friends. :D
Thought I'd introduce myself as this looks like a great forum!
I'm Sarah. Some of my hobbies are horseback riding, painting, and (obviously)reading. I'm a huge activist for environmental issues and I'm also vegetarian. I hope I'll get the chance to discuss stuff with all of you!
Hi Sarah- Welcome to the forum! :wave:
Stumbled into this web today. Looks great. So here I am. Looking forward to read your thoughts and share mine here.
Hyacinth Girl and vrianto3! Welcome to the forum! Have fun here!
Hi Wallflower! :wave: Welcome! Hi Vrianto! :wave:
Hi all!

Would like to share your views and mine...
Looking forward to a great togetherness...
