Hi everybody!
I just joined this forum yesterday and I'm already over the moon. I'm seventeen years old and I've been in love with books for as long as I can remember. I'm from Germany originally but I have spent the last ten years of my life in Lebanon, where I learned English, French and Arabic. A couple of weeks ago I had to leave the country because a war broke out and right now I'm staying with my family in Austria. But enough about that. As soon as I could understand enough English I started to read like crazy. I soon progressed from simple kids' stories to timeless classics. I love Charles Dickens and Jane Austen and of course Shakespeare. But my favourite poems would have to be by Wordsworth. I just love his theme of nature. All my lit education has been self-taught, since our school only teaches English for dummies.
Other than reading, I also like to go to the movies, listen to music, dance, and sometimes paint. Oh and since I'm staying in Vienna now and seeking to brush up on my German, I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good Austrian/German writer. I don't really know anyone (English is my first love). That's all I can think of right now, and thanks Pensive for starting this thread. I'm still finding my way around.
Oh, I almost forgot. You wanted to know what type of books I like, right? Well, the classics, of course, fantasy (LOVE LOVE LOVE) and some sci-fi, historical novels, mythology, fairy tales (H.C.Anderson, Grimms, etc), biographies, detective stories, poems, plays, and anything else I can get my hands on!
Oh, sure I read it. I think that... Well, I will reply you there! :)Quote:

Hello everyone!
I've known and loved the Literature Network page for quite some time but I haven't brought up the courage to join this forum - until now.
Wendy isn't my real name (unfortunately, because I realy like it :D ) and I've never been to Neverland. I live a rather boring life in Austria where I'm a student at university. In 4 years (and I'm hoping it's only going to be those 4 years) I'm going to be an interpreter *wohoo*
As for literature, I'm a big fan of the classics but the biggest part of my heart belongs to fantasy literature. You know, the must-have-reads like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and, my current favourite, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin.
My favourite classics would be... well, everything by Jane Austen (except for Persuasion), Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Oscar Wilde's plays (plus Dorian Gray) and North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.
Whew, that was a big introduction. I guess I'll go explore this forum a bit now. :)
Wendy
Welcome to the forum, ElizabethBennet! Yep, I agree that all the poems of Worsworth about nature are fascinating. I hope that you have fun over here!
And Hi Wendy! You seems like another fan of Peter Pan? Oh come on, Neverland is in your mind. You can be in neverland even when your body lies in Austria. Give it a try!
Oh, I too love HP series and was a fan of it about a year ago. I hope that you will like exploring the forum!
