[reader427]

Hi all,

I'm reader427. I am in high school and have been an avid bookworm for as long as I can possibly remember. Specifically, I enjoy classics (Austen, Hugo, Dickens ect). My favorite books are Sense and Sensibility, Les Miserables, and A Tale of Two Cities.

I am currently reading Shirley by Charlotte Bronte.

I hope to have many conversations.

Hi People,

I love literature, and it's hard to explain how or why, but all I know is that literature always proves its relevance to real life, and through it there could be an understanding of what real life, sometimes it's like a sponge sucking away your fears and pain, and sometimes it tells you where to be wary and conscious, in all, its relevance runs deep and thick in our lives, and it is hard to let it go just like that, and it's difficult to ignore its relevance to our lives.

Hi everyone,

It doesn't look like people are actually reading this thread anymore, but I usually never get around to actually posting in forums, so here goes:

I'm a high school student and sick of it, I'm really looking forward to getting out of high school and going to university. I love literature and art history, because they both use similar sorts of thinking. I'm currently reading 'Nights at the Circus' by Angela Carter, but my favourite authors are George Orwell and Shakespeare. My favourite books are probably 1984, Down and Out in Paris and London, and Hamlet, but there's so much I haven't read yet, like Dickens and more Shakespeare and everything else. I have a constantly changing list of books that I want to read, I know I won't get to most of them but it means that when I need something to read I can go to that list. This year I have been doing a research project for school about George Orwell, which is due in a couple of weeks. I've done more than I need to but honestly it's so much fun, and I want to make the most of it. It's that project that made me decide that I'd like to study literature at university. I definitely want to do a PhD at some stage, and would like to end up a professor at a university in England someday (I'm from New Zealand).

Hello everyone.
I randomly decided to join a forum about literature today, and this is the address Google gave me.
I am a student, majoring in Social Sciences, and I have been reading full-ime since elementary school. Growing up, I always had problems finding people my age, as engaged in reading as me, so ever since long ago I gave up on discussing reading.
Then suddenly today, I was struck with an idea that I could do that on the Internet, so here I am.
My favorite writers would be Sidney Sheldon, Jack London, Walter Scott, and many more.

Hello,
i am Jurt (20). I was born in Germany and still live there. As a matter of fact my first language is German. I've learned English at school which i am still attending. The reasons, why I've registered in this forum, are my profound inclination to literature and my proposition to improve my English, so feel free to correct my howlers. I conceive that it its important to speak as many lanuages as possible. That's why I learn and improve my Englisch, French, Latin and Hebrew.
I am looking forward to a splendid time in this forum.

Hello Peeps, I've only recently joined the forum. I live near Bath in England. Apart from riding my motorbike and walking my dog Harvey I have been busy writing. If you have read the Mayor of Casterbridge or any Thomas Hardy novels you may be interested in it. It's a parody of Micheal Henchard called 'Henchard The Missing Years'. He lies, cheats and robs his way around America inbetween selling his wife and child and their subsequent return to Casterbridge. You'll find it on Amazon. That's kept me busy recently and I have now started writing a legal textbook.

I am also working on some projects related to Henry Thoreau, such as annotating his unpublished Extracts relating to the Indians. I read widely and deeply and am enthused about reading and responding in these forums.

[lochness]

Hi everyone. I'm 62 years old and do not have a formal education. Because of that I am self conscious to be here among college educated people. I wanted to go to college when younger but lacked confidence in my intellect and didn't have the finances. I have read the classics and enjoy classical music. I am getting along in years but read as much as I can, listen to great music, try to learn more every day, and appreciate the "finer" things in life. I especially enjoy philosophy, history, Thoreau, biographies on the founding fathers of America, landscape paintings and the natural beauty of the fall landscape of New England. I have lots of questions about music and literature so please be patient. I have tried to learn as much as I could on my own but there are so many things I have questions about.

Thank You

Nothing to be self-conscious about. I have only a high school education, and I doubt I'm the only one. I sometimes see depth in discussions that comes from a college education, and that makes me jealous. I also sometimes see a level of pretension and intellectual weenie-waving also fueled by a college education that I don't mind in the least not having picked up.
