hello I am not a writer and rare that I do this but you see, I wrote a poem the other day very heartfelt about this woman I desire and I've yet to have my poem judged from a professional stand point and any possible future for my poem is yet unknown anyone who could help and would like to read it I would much appreciate it thank you.
If you are familiar with the musician G.G. Allin, you will know that he has an album called "Hated in the Nation". Unfortunately, that phrase also applies to my reputation in that horrid place, real life.
It is not uncommon for people to go to the Internet and contact people with like-minded interests as an escape from their surrounding sycophants or detractors. This is my attempt.
That out of the way: I like Joyce, Miller, Nabokov, Orwell, Plato, Nietzsche, and others; I have lurked the site for many seconds and even minutes.
Now there is a tendency I have noted in others, offline and online. There is, depending on their personality (that is the thing that makes you date people, if you didn't know), a certain amount of time that a person will allow my obnoxiousness to linger like a mist around them, before making their displeasure clear. I hope to delay that date with you people.
That's all. Good night, and God help us... in the future.

Well the reason I'm here is to solicit suggestions on who is writing the great literature of the last 20 years. Kinda lost touch with the literary world around '95. I've read and appreciated DF Wallace, J Lethem, J Franzen, J Eugenides, M Lehner. Past heros included Pynchon, Rushdie, Barth, Vonnegut, Richler, Miller,Mailer,Kerouac,Bukowski, Brautigan, J Harrison, McGuane, R Banks. Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks!
Hello all! How do I introduce myself? I'm a book nerd, reading since an early age and never stopped. Voracious but if a book bores me I will easily toss it aside. Subscribe to the Nancy Pearl formula- subtract your age from one hundred and that's how many pages you should give a book. For me I round so that's about 60 or solove YA- very underrated and overlooked. Read mainly fiction, love a good juicy character driven novel I can sink my teeth into and chase with a glass (or two) of Chardonnay. Love the classics, beach books and trashy novels. Read for escapism. Am working on a book about my time living/working in the Cayman Islands but fiction is truly stranger than fact.
Hello all! I am a "newbie" to this forum. I actually found it while searching for some information for one of my lessons. I teach tenth grade English.![]()
Hallo. I'm a very new member in here. I am from Indonesia and recently I am falling in love with books! Especially detective story. See you through the screen!
P.S. Please excuse my English. It is my second language. And I hope it won't become an obstacle for you to communicate with me in the future. Thank you for your understanding. C:
I'm not new, but I haven't been active in a long, long time. I'm Kristina, 26 years old from Gothenburg, Sweden. I'm a teacher working in a preschool with a focus on outdoor pedagogy. I've always been a reader of fiction, since I knew how to read. I mainly read classics, general fiction and have developed a fascination for African fiction in the last couple of years. I listen to music a lot, mostly indie and singer/songwriters. Also just moved into a new apartment with my fiancé. That's all for now. Looking forward to trying to be more active agan!
My name is Eduardo, born in Argentina, living in Canada.
I like playing with words. It is a way of communication and sometimes one can express some ideas.
These forums are what I was looking for. See you, mostly in the games. Thank you.

Wonderful...but, how many posts do you need before you can post links?
