Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

A very warm welcome to our newest blooming roses in this little garden (hey, I should be a bard lol)
Hope you all enjoy your stay in Let Nit!

~hello~ my name is melissa and i'm in ninth grade. i dislike capital letters.

i like to read. my favorite writers are james joyce, henry david thoreau, voltaire, virgil, virginia woolf, fyodor dostoevsky, albert camus, kurt vonnegut, john milton, marcel proust, dante alighieri, hermann hesse, a.a. milne, arthur rimbaud, charles baudelaire, jules laforgue, paul verlaine, walt whitman, hart crane, ogden nash, e.e. cummings, william shakespeare, rainer maria rilke, anne sexton, etc. i really really strongly dislike jane austen, ayn rand and robert frost.

i also really like pierre-joseph proudhon, mikhail bakunin, johann most, emma goldman, alexander berkman, peter kropotkin, voltairine de cleyre, brian morris, noam chomsky, etc. i am a vegan and a pacifist and also really socially awkward. i live in florida though i would really rather not. i am not really that interesting beyond the novelty of my age? but if you want to know anything else about me feel free to ask. i also just realized that i tend to overuse certain words; i hope that doesn't bother anyone too much.

Hi, this is my first time ever on any forum. It may take a few times to get things right.
smoothchocolat

im new here, so dont be shy to say hi or send me a friend request. i love writing and im working on a scifi right now. :D

First time on this forum. This seems a great resource for literature. I am looking for some Latin American literature ofcourse translated in english. Hope to get it here.

I love reading. Not much in to writing. I think there is lot to be read why to add more? :p

Well guess what?
Yeah, I'm a newbie.

I inhabit that bit of rock at the edge of the Gulf Stream called England.
I am 37 Years old....but don't tell everyone please.

I have a very broad range reading spectrum and I read upto 5 different books a day. Each book being located in a different room of my home.
I even have a book in the WC....:lol::lol::lol:

Downstairs I have the Life of Horatio Hornblower and a book by Douglas Reeman.
Upstairs I am reading The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich---which is one massive book--and the English Civil War.

I have been an avid reader since I retired 10 years ago and never seem to tire of new material. I constantly search local flee markets for books and made a great find 5 years ago when I was able to purchase all of Leo Kesslers short war stories at small cost.

I enjoy fiction or non fiction books relating to WW1 and WW2.

I even recently revisited my childhood when I chanced to find some original Ladybird early reading books, that brought back some memories for me I can tell you.

I enjoy reading in general and dependant on my mood enjoy books where I can actually visualise myself as being there in part with the story around me.

Well that is a slice of me.

Hello, hello!

I must say, I am quite excited to be here- it looks like a great forum.
I have chosen to go by the name Verity whilst here. It's one of my favorite words, and something I strive to reach, in a philosophical sense.
I am seventeen years old and currently reside in the lower portion of the U.S. of A.
My greatest love in life is reading. I love books, I love the stories they have to tell. It is so marvelous that through literature we have voices from the past. People come and people go, but what they write down is permanent. It's wonderful.
Due to all of the above, I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with that heaven known as Half Price Books. I visit that store way more than the average person should.
Currently I am rereading The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. It's my summer project. I also hope to get through some psychology and philosophy texts.
Right. Well, outside of that, I love music (of all sorts), writing (though I must say I am not very good), nature, and movies.

I fear I've babbled on for much to long, so I shall end with that.
:yawnb:

Hiya everyone

So very glad to be here

Hi, I am a writer, and I am currently writing for the site named estapo in the grotesque section (should be listed in my details as the home site), it is going to be a multi functional portal, but currently they have started from my book.
I am a writer, and this is a story about a man, a psychopath, who believes that he can cure the world with the help of people if they will accept his pain as the instrument of cleansing and will let him pass it on to them.
In the book I'm giving a reader a new look at the world through the eyes of a psycho, a man, for who there are no standards of thinking and there is no other belief except his own pain.

Sincerely Yours,
Sevastian Wolfe

Hello everybody,
I am from Alessandria, a small town in the North-west of Italy. (I'm Italian :D) I'm about 24 and i'm attending the last year at the faculty of Philology and Arts. Mainly I study Russian language and literature, English language and literature, Polish and compared literature. I've been in Russia and Poland twice, and in England too, but unfortunately only in London... My favourites writers are: Bulgakov, Tolstoj, Dostoevskij, Doyle, Poe, Rowling and poets like Shakespeare, Wilde, Sepulveda, and many others.
I've joined this forum to speak about literature, and of course to imptove my (bad) English...:blush:
So very glad to be here
Ok, now I finished..

Hi everyone: :wave: this is the first time I have ever posted in any kind of forum. I have read for years but the authors are King, Deaver, Child, Cussler. these appear to be WAY under what the norm is for here. Philosophy is beyond me and Shakespeare is interesting but hard to understand. I am attending college here and really enjoy it. Finally learning to put the words on paper and have them make sense. Take care...:blush:

Hi! "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"- great book, huh? I read it when I was 15. It is truly fascinating. How is it over there?

My name is john seale and hope to continue my search for strange stories here.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind - Dr. Seuss.

And I completely agree with him. So if you encounter any book snobs, just ignore them!

And welcome to the LitNet Forums! :D

hi guys :thumbs_up

this is my first ever post on this site, and it seems really great :)
just to introduce, myself my name is lis and I'm a student studying (among other things) english literature at sixth form. I've always loved reading and it's really cool to be able to chat to people that feel the same :)

Hello, again, after a long absence! :wave: Things seem to continue happening to keep me away from this site ... this last time was a computer crash a couple months ago but I'm back and hope to keep this place on my regular rounds. :nod:

I couldn't delete so i'm writing this

Hello, I'm new here. I'm a wanderer. I have a passion for english literature. :)

Hi, I am Xuefang. I am interested in English literature. Hope to share my opinion with each other in this forum.

Hi
I'm a student of English Studies and my major is American Literature and Culture.

Hi there,
I'm in high school and I am taking a Literature course through the summer. I was given a topic as an introduction to the class, I was wondering if I could get some ideas about the meaning behind the quote. I've heard this quote many times but never really thought of any other meaning to it. The quote is "No man is an island." by John Donne.
I think that no one man can make it on his own, but I hardly think it is 2 page essay worthy! I could be wrong in my thinking.
Anyway thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings, everyone.
I was looking for big English speaking literature forum and so I'm here. As you could notice, English is not my native language, and I hope I won't annoy anyone.

Hi everyone. My name is Chris and i live in Australia. I basically just wanted a forum where i can discuss literature and to see what others have to say about it.

Disregard the "Help." I figured out how to post without losing my post. :-)

Hi. My name is Sandra. What a fabulous website this is. I just discovered it today. I can't wait to go through it later his evening.

I am Producing Artistic Director for a theater in Manhattan that dedicates itself to the new American playwright. I have 30 interns working at the theater for the summer, 10 of whom are literary interns. They have written short plays and the interns are going to produce a short play festival from those plays.

I also have my own literary not-for-profit which was just formed: Merit Theater and Film Group.
Merit Theater and Film Group, Inc. is a Theater and Film organization that helps theatrical and film artists develop their craft and present their work through developmental activities, readings, and/or full productions. We foster and cultivate personal growth for script writers and other theatre and film artists, which we believe is essential for writing and producing complex, knowledgeable scripts. Such works benefit the local and global community by enhancing self-realization, supporting peace and social justice, and building respect for cultural expression and identity.

One of our projects is the New Works of Merit Playwriting Contest which is accepting scripts through July 31, 2009. (revised from June 30) The contest seeks socially conscious scripts from around the world that not only entertain, but also foster new awareness .

I am an avid animal lover. If anyone knows of any great books about animals, please let me know. Two favorites are: Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog by Ted Kerasote. It's a true story of an amazing dog. Best dog book I have ever read. ... Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand. You will feel like you are on Seabiscuit, riding in the races that made him famous. Ms. Hillenbrand is a great writer. (The book is nothing like the movie.)

I hope to hear from you.

Hello Sandra, :) if you check the "Remember Me?" box when you log in, you should not get "timed out" that way if you're composing a long post. Welcome to LitNet!

hi, i am not nearly half as interesting as most of those who have already written about themselves. me life has mainly taken me away from my passion of literature, but i read enough to keep it within my life still. i love any kind of book from old classics, such as the illiad which i am currently reading, to modern sci fi and EVERYTHING in between. in books i look for the story that pulls emotion from me, and i have found a few that make me laugh and cry. and those i read over and over. thats all i can really think of ... bye

Hi
I'm Dark Angel(literally) and that's what I'd prefer... I was told by my friend Beautifull(sry if I got it wrong) about this site...

Hello everyone, this is Michael, brought here for the obvious reasons.

If you share any of my interests at some point of my posting life on here -I'm looking forward to having one, so be gentle-, feel free to interact!

Hi all - I thought I had posted to this but can't find it - duh! I'm a Creative Writing student, a poet, and I live in New Zealand. I read and write constantly; in fact I don't do much else - you would agree if you could see my house. Oh, I do make stained glass panels as well.

I'm on a sort of spiritual quest, as I think most writers are. And often take the wrong turning - but if I'm there it can't be wrong...I love to learn, and laugh, I enjoy good food and conversation, I drink - not always in moderation - and can be as silly or as serious as anyone else.

I think play is very important in creative work. I think too much, though.

Hope to run across you all while here.

Hello everybody! My name is Reader Online. I'm new here. ;)

i know that it is an adventure, but i am looking forward to improve my language in your forum
I hope to find a place here among you
Thanks alot..in advance.

Hi All,

Myself is Yogita and i reside in mumbai,india.I recently come to know about this forum and was very much pleased to know the existence of such wonderful community.Accidently only i come to know about this forum while searching for jane austen book for reading, as again started reading after a long gap of 6-7 years while i was in college.
So far i have read perry mason,charlotte bronte,pride and predudice,monsk who has sold his ferrari,wuthering heights only.
But as thought i do not find wuthering heights too much intresting its rather little boring at times.
could you please suggest some nice authors and books rather ebooks to be start with, i like charlotte bronte very much, it covers all the aspect of a life from isloation,hatred,love,sacrifice and everything , very nice and touchy.

I am really hopeful to encounter many other reading from several authors with all of your support and suggestion.

Thanks
Yogita

Welcome to LitNet everyone!

My name is Jim, I have just joined LNF primarily because my wife and I have a trip planned in August to the outer islands of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. While traveling we would like to read some good historical fiction set in these climes. I enjoy reading Wilbur Smith and Ken Follet. If you know of anything that might help us identify with the people and the times they have lived through in this Celtic and seaward part of our world. Please let me know. We love to use our Kindles, so if you know of down-loadable titles that would be great. Thanks! Jim
