Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

well hello, here u have a new literature fan who would like to share her thoughts and feelings about her favourite books.
I know this site for quite a while, as it has been quite useful for my english literature course, but only now I discovered this forum.I logged in looking for some interesting things about james joyce`s Portrait of the Artist.I`m in the process of reading this book and I find it very interesting, it my first contact to Joyce but I take it as a training for Ulises and Finnegan`s Wake.
talk to u later..and meanwhile have a happy new year!

Welcome, rocksa, and may your stay here be permanent and enjoyable.

Yep, Hey rocksa, Keep on posting. You can always say Hi here no matter how old you get.

Welcome Rocksa. I hope you enjoy it here. I have some knowledge of Joyce (except for Finnegan's Wake) so if you have any specific questions or things you might want to get my opinion on, feel free to ask. Portrait of an Artist is fine novel and once you get by the Joyce's technique is novel not too difficult to comprehend. You might also want to read Joyce's book of short stories, Dubliners. Ulysses is a hard read, and I don't know anybody who's actually read Finnegan's Wake, other than college professors. Are you doing something specific on Joyce?

Hi Virgil, Hi Robin: How are you today?

I'm fine, thank you. I've been off from work this week and I have another week after this of vacation. I hope you're doing well too. Hope your Christmas went well. Are you ready for the new year?

Yup, I am waiting for the first of january. well, I don't celebrate Christmas but I don't mind it. Its a festival and festivals are always cool.

no, for a while when I was young I lived in the deep south part of the US. I was in the Carolinas, Missouri(Missoura my adopted grandfather said), then Montana and I can't remember where else. I always thought Americans spoke so very slowly in the south, and LOUD everywhere else and were quite impolite, but very exciting.

hi, am poppastevoe, you all have a happy and prosperous new year 2006 and other years.
ceao!

Great to see lots of newbies here, I hope you have fun on the site :)

Hi pop, Welcome to the forum!

Thanks, You too enjoy the surprizes 2006 will bring.

yes welcome welcome. I had a best friend(passed away from illness) Lee who travelled to Africa by luxury liner and worked at Johannesburg. It was there she met and fell in love with her husband who is a geophysicist and professional photographer for National Geographic. She loved it there very much. You bring back lovely memories.
May your New Years be splendid.
