Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hi melancolia, welcome to the forum! Nice signature plus nice avatar!

Thank you Virgil and Pensive for the warm welcome, I appreciate it =)

Hello! I am a new member from Bloomington, IN. I'm currently an undergrad @ IU and found this site while "working" at a local financial institution. Yeah, so "work" is a strong word, and I really don't do any save what I do in class. I read constantly, and am currently reading "Notes from the Underground" by F. Dostoyevsky, "Sea and Sardinia" by D.H. Lawrence, and a J. Swift collection of short stories. When I'm not at work or school or engrossed with one book or another, I spend time making good use of my Netflix subscription, making good use of the company of my girlfriend, playing racquetball, and when I'm free of time demands and constraints, I like to write and listen to music. Fresh endeavours this year include riding my bike to work and school in lieu of using my car, recycling paper, cans and bottles, cultivating a few lilies, and I will begin brewing beer this week.

Wow. I'm a pretty shy guy, and that's most I've written about myself...ever, so now its on to either the boards or those author bios: I love it!

I have graduated from high school an official literature nerd, a year ago, and now I'm hoping to get accepted into university to study English Language and Literature...
I consider myself a big fan of reading... and art in general. I enjoy reading anything at all from literature to philosophy to psychology... I've had the pleasure and privilege of studying 3 of Shakespeare's plays during high school, I think the man is a literary genius.
Anyway I don't want to bore anyone, so, just a quick intro and hello
=)

What a GREAT avatar, I just had to find somewhere to yell that!!! Welcome and make yourself at home... are you from the UK? (just checking if I was able to guess ;))

Same for you Cowboy, post loads and enjoy around here!!!

Hi all

Nice to meet you all and look forward to posting with you.

Hello.

I have been posting here for a couple of weeks, and it has just occurred to me that I have not really introduced myself. I just got out of high school, having been elected by my peers to be awarded the "Unanimously Unique" award, from which you might reasonably surmise that I am the supreme nerd of the Class of 2006. I have been reading, and loving, a good deal of Henry James lately, for a "3x1" project (three novels by one author) for one of my senior English classes, and so have fashioned a username after His Awesomeness. I really like the discussions on this site, and have actually just discovered all of the PAM games (my mother's name, incidentally), which are all great fun. I look forward to many a happy post with you all!

Welcome, welcome! Nerd power!!

welcome to all new comers :)from miss tenderness..

Hi all! :wave:

This is all a little strange - I have signed up in a web forum for years and I've never been involved in one specifically for literary discussion so I'm quite excited.

I'm Hna, I'm 17 and live in England. I currently study English Literature, History and French and am intending to study History and Literature at Uni next year.

I look forward to posting with you all and seeing what you all have to say.

:D

welcome Hana, English literature,just like me:)enjoy it here..

Hi Hna! :wave:

G'day fellow forum gatherers!
I'm from Australia and I was researching Nathanial Hawthorne when I came across this site. I liked what I saw and decided to join. Looking forward to getting to know (some - because there are so many!) of you and joining in any discussions.
Hooroo for now, AussieHannah

I am currently teaching in an International school here in the country. We are presently reading Great Expectations in my Grade 8 English class. Today my students gave me a set of questions some of which I find it difficult to answer. I need your help.
