hello everybody!
Like Anna Kathy I'm not a native English speaker but I love English literature. That's why I wanted to join this board... There's not really much to say about me except that I have loved to read since my early teens and am currently studying literature... I try to be as prolific a reader as possible and hope that this board will help me to discover new books and new viewpoints on books I already know. So, looking forward to meeting you all! :)
Pyrrho and Anna Kathy: As an Alabamian there is much people could criticize about my English.;) Welcome aboard!

Welcome, Nyu!
I'm sure I can't write as much as any of you did, but I'll try.
As you can tell, I love the Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Evita(musical), and Chicago(musical). So, I'm basicly a broadway freak, to put it plain. I love to sing opera, as I do broadway. I write books, but they are yet to be published, allthoughter I'm a very boring person!:thumbs_up
oh yes, yo sound VERY un-interesting. ;) glad you chose to join the forums. hope you have fun.

hello, my name is phoebe and i finished school last year. I'm taking a break and going to uni next year to study journalism. I love to write...I love to read...I love to think that I'm better at playing the piano than I really am...I grew up on a steady diet of Enid Blyton and David Eddings. Now I read anything. I love 'In the Skin of a Lion' and I have a crush on Markus Zusak or maybe just his books :-) I also love languages! I look forward to exploring all these threads. Phoebe :-)
Welcome Phoebe!

hello my name is Sir Bartholomew, nice to meet yall.
Hello and welcome to all you new people. You will love it here! :)
I am very new and I want to say "hi" from Turkey and I do not know what to say but as for my hobies, I love reading so much and that is why I am here and I like listening music especially classic music and I have recently realised how nice new age music is. That is, I hate loud and noisy music in which people scream and break their guitar and etc. (some of you can get angry to me but beauty is in the eye of beholder). I am a fresh(wo)man in English language and literature, finding such a forum in which I am learning and sharing a lot shows how lucky I am. thanks for everything, that's all for now :)
hi there...just wanted to introduce myself, I´m a 23 year old portuguese guy
that hopes to learn a lot from all of your good tastes in literature and
everything else of course.
see ya at the forum...
Welcome Frida and Hefesto!
OswaldTheOsprey
Hi everyone! I am the proud mother of two handsome little boys and my beautiful baby girl. I am a stay-at-home mother, domestic engineer, and full-time online student majoring in psychology. I have 10 classes behind me while juggling a five-year-old, four-year-old, and a two-year-old. We read a lot of books, especially since my five-year-old learned how to read. I live in the country in Pennsylvania, which is beautiful and the best place to raise my children. My husband and I have been together for nine years but soon-to-be ten years, he is the love of my life and supports me in every possible way; he is a hard worker and is proud to be able to have me stay-at-home with the children.
We love the outdoors, my boys are awesome fishermen, they have caught huge walleyes, bass, carp, and bluegills. My husband's passion is fishing and has passed that on to our children. My passion is my children and making sure they have everything they need, not materialistic things. My second passion is school, I am very dedicated in earning my degree because I want to work with children, Child psychologist.
Hi to everyone and I hope we will be chatting soon.
Welcome to frida, hefesto and amcol5! :)
:) Hi everybody I am a new member here ...I want to introduce myself..
First, I have got to know this wonderful site while I was searching for a material for my prose class. Since that time, I determine to be one of this wonderful "warm-book community". And this is what has happened!!
I am 22 years old. My first language is Arabic. I'm working as a Demonstrator. I teach English Literature. I'm now preparing to enroll in an M.A program in English literature-Prose.
I love reading novels very much...I read 3 novels per month. My reading reanging from 18th C's novels to temporary ones. I appreciate ,particularly Comparative Literature.
Romantic novel is a pseudonym, I chose it out of my love to novels.
As for my Signature, it is taken from the international writer Paulo Cohelo's novel" The Zahir". His words really have a strong impact on me,,,because I feel they are very real and tangible.
I do not know what else do you whant to know but I hope you will enjoy my presence here between you..
Thank you for giving me this opportunity to share you my love of " English Literature"
Thank you
Thank you
Hi, nice to meet everybody.
As for me, reading and drawing are my two favorate hobbies. I love horseback riding, but don't get the chance that often. I'm also pretty into computers.
I'm about to start college, and I don't know my major yet. I'm just starting out with gen. eds. I'd like to do something with literature or language, but I've yet to find a career I like. I speak quite a bit of German and I'm considering trying to learn some others...
Um... I love reading. My most recent book obsession is [I]1984[I]. And I have to say, George Orwell is a genious...
Anyway, glad to meet you all!
Hi folks - how's everyone doing? I'm not very well-read, but I'm trying - I'm glad to have found this place! I just finished The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway yesterday (2nd read), a novel that hits closer to home these days than I'd necessarily like, and earlier on today started Robertson Davies' What's Bred To The Bone. Love Davies' writing!
I try to read the classic 'classics', but as well veer off here and there. I don't get a chance to read as often as I'd like, but hey, there's still a lot of life left to live for me, so I'm doing okay. :)
Welcome romantic novel, joanie, and pacific crow!! :) :wave:. It's good to have you all here as a part of these wonderful forums!! :D
Greetings all, my name is Joseph and I write dark surrealism/horror/perspectives.
hope to have some interesting conversations on here with you :)

Hey Joseph, I'm new here as well, but I love to read, and would really like to read your work sometime. I really enjoy the works of Poe, as well as works about the darker side of man, and I think your stories would fit the bill :P. Anyways welcome and hope you enjoy these forums!
hi Sir Bartholomew wants to say hello.
Welcome to the forums, frida, hefesto, amcol5, ethan roy, judas 130, pacific crow, romantic novel~ feel right at home! :wave:

Hello everyone..
There is nothing impressive about me, i do not have a degree in engineering, i am not studying law and i do not plan to become the next Jane Austin..
BUT
I am 15 years old, a lover of books, renowned for my sarcasm and a real thrill seeker. Haven't done much when it comes to seeking thrills but i plan to!!
I've jumped of a 11 metre cliff so far and swam with dolphins (in the ocean not a theme park) about 200 metres from shore. I'm going diving with sharks in December :D woooo
I'm planning on taking three english courses in college
modern world history, religion and philosophy, maths and physics.
I have no idea what i want to be when i grow up..
My best friend is going on foreign exchange in September for a year. She is the most awesome person you will ever meet! When she comes back her parents are moving to Europe for half a year so she is living with me (wicked huh?)
My other best friend is my brother (yeah.. strange huh?) anyway
two days ago he moved to Europe for two years
I've been very depressed about that but now i see he is going to have the time of his life and i should be happy for him (he is 18)
My life is music, really only stuff from the sixties and seventies.. Bob Dylan is my husband *cough* i wish *cough*
The Who rock and so do Simon and Garfunkel.. Rolling Stones too.
My favourite book is Gone with the Wind
second favourite is Pride and Prejudice
my favourite actor is Al Pacino and my favourite movie is Across the Universe.
This is my life.. and i love it.
Thank you for listening to me!!
Bonjour!
I enjoy all kinds of books, from modern literary to speculative fiction. I currently attend a preapprenticeship painting program (not the artsy type, but the house renovator type,) though I will be enlisting in the French Foreign Legion within the next 5 years or so.
If 15 years in the Legion doesn't kill me, I plan to become a novelist after I retire.
My other interests include domesticated rats, drawing, and role-playing games.
Hello everybody,I am from Chile and I love reading.It's my first English forum
and I hope to know you and learn(?) your literacy interests.Also, I hope not seems so nerd by my writting style:blush: .Anyway ,I am very happy to be here.Thank you.
Of course, Poe's 'The Raven' was a sensation to read for the first time. I have a collection of his work at home. I am a member of Deviantart.com where I post my work (see my profile). My work explores the subconscious with a hint of horror, dark twists etc. Its not similar to Poe in how it is written.Quote:

Thank you for the warm welcome :D
Hey everyone,
I joined this site because I loved reading as a child and would read anything I could get my hands on. As I got older, the quality of many books appeared to decrease rapidly; I probably just raised my standards of quality. Anyways, what with preparing for rigorous classes, I lost my passion and the time for reading somewhere along the way. I am interested in participating in the book club part of the forum especially.
I don't have much to say other than I once joined here as Heat Ray 2.
Wow, a whole bunch of new faces! Welcome to all of you, glad you joined! :thumbs_up
Hello everybody
I'm 16 years old and I'm attending to junior high school. I joined here, because I love reading books, especially English, Russian and French classical literature. My favourite authors: Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, sisters Bronte, George Eliot, Honore de Balzac, Stendhal, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Leo Tolstoy and Mikhail Bulgakov. I like also historical books like Waltari's "The Egyptian" or "I, Claudius" by Robert Graves. My second hobby is watching movie- I'm fond of movie directors like Kubrick, Forman, Lynch, Tarantino and Allen. I hope I'll meet here a lot of people with mutual interests. My mother tongue isn't English, so please be understanding, if I make some mistakes.
Welcome Agatha. What a ovely name. Your english seems fine to me. Sounds like you will like lit net. :)
Hey!
I just found this forum and signed up a few days ago. Great place!
I am from Finland, Helsinki. I love books and reading and do a bit of writing, but not more about that issue, yet..
Hmm, I am 40, single, live in the city center of our beautiful town with my dogs. I work a little bit, but rest of the days I spend among books and writing, and try to travel as much as possible.
I got a lot of favourite books, but " Wild palms" is almost the greatest. As is everything by Ondaatje, just finished " Divisadero" a wonderful read I had with that one.
Ok, now you know something about me.
Have a lovely day!
hello everyone,
Am lliekamia a new her.
wish to help you guys.
have a nice time to all of you there.
Hi everyone. I'm already a prolific writer, I've written a few novelettes (though I refer to them as short stories) and am working on a series based on the card game Magic: the Gathering. I find writing a creative (of course) and valuable art form that anyone can enjoy adding to or browsing in.
I like Anime (Japanese cartoons, like my avatar) and playing video games and reading. I'm a high school senior, looking forward to my last year. Though I[m not used to writing stories as short as the ones on this forum, it'll be a new challenge for me to look forward to.
{edit}
That's all.
