Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

[Whosis]

I'm the author Benjamin Anderson--please check out my thread in introductions.

My favorite books are by Steinbeck. His book Travels With Charley was assigned reading in school around the time I kindled my passion for writing, and it likely inspired my trip across the US at eighteen. I have enjoyed A. Lee Martinez when I need to cool down. In the Company of Ogres was by far his best book, a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts.

Hi all,

My interest are:

Comparative Literature and Mythology
Narrative, specially novels
Studying religious texts from a literatury perspective.
Literary Theory

I studied electrical engineering and currently a masters in humanities with literature focus, online, basically I got tired of self-taught learning, because I felt I didn't have direction, however I'm starting to get a better perspective to learn by my self more effectively and turned into a MOOC junkie =)

I'm also interested in narrative in manga/anime/videogames and teaching.

My current projects are:
-Reading the Bible (jew, catholic, christian and orthodox) from a literary perspective.
-Research on character design based on two factor models of personality for a game script.
-Survive work and school

Happy to be here!

[Tom Hudson]

Not sure, about this format, but.... I am "Tom Hudson", living in Asia, born in NY City, lived my teens on both northern coasts of the US, my late twenties & thirties I spent in Urban city social work in the US, and finally over to the Himalayan Mt.s in the late 1980's on through 1997 ish.... then in the new century , I lived in Colorado, with jaunts back over into the Himalayan Mt.s to keep the fires burning, and now settled back into life in Nepal. I have a wonderful wife who has done it ALL with me hand in hand, and we have seen our four children come and be raised with us as we have lived this adventure, and they are a joy to me as they gleefully carry on in their lives to higher things.
Over the years, a constant in the mix of much activity and work has been a tie and bonding with Literature. Tho the locations and activities have been varied, there has been "those certain boxes" of my "must have with me books" that have been toted all over the world....

So," HI!"

I found you while I was looking up some reference to a Oscar Wilde essay with his ol' Sphinx in it.

So, let's see how "this" works!

Helloooo. Look Forward To Meeting Some New People and Learning Lots and Lots MORE !

[BenMidland]

A warm hello to you all.

I am a writer of fact-fiction thrillers, conspiracy-based. Insiders know that this genre is more a matter of research than writing in the first place. This summer of 2014 my first novel appears in the US after it was translated from Dutch to US-English.
Time for a little experiment. I expose the genre with the use of keywords. Please respond if you feel attracted by one or another.
Here we go:

Japan, mythology, myth, holy grail, shrine, imperial, suspense, mercenary, jews, shinto, priest, kunaicho, Emperor, relic, regalia, action, sun goddess, Yata no Kagami, 12 tribes of Israel.

That's all.

Best of luck!

Ben

[RichardHresko]

Hello all!
This is actually a re-introduction. I originally joined in 2005, but have been very busy with my business and also pursuing first a masters, and now a doctoral degree in medieval history at Fordham. As of this writing I am awaiting approval of my doctoral dissertation proposal, at which point I will be an ABD. Today is my birthday, and I decided to re-visit here after receiving a birthday greeting. It may be an automated greeting, but it did remind me of this forum, which is part of its purpose.
Take care all!
Richard
