    Hi

    Pleased to discover the site, looking forward to browsing and contributing and making new friends.

    A little about me - I read ferociously, write a little poetry when the mood grabs me, some short stories and currently tackling a novel which is making me a little crazy LOL.

    Well, I may not be new, but it's quite a while since I have been here. I realised a few weeks ago my life lacked books, not the material one's because my whole house is filled with books, but the reading of them. So I started again and delved right into Shakespeare. Why give myself an easy start huh?
    My name is Lisa, almost 30 and a lover of English, old, middle and modern. First language is Dutch.

    Welcome back... and though an American, I found myself one Summer many years ago in Cambridge England taking a class in Shakespeare. We covered four plays and by far it was A Midsummer Night's Dream that was my favorite. So if I can make a suggestion, you ought to read that one.

    Thanks Iain, I've started with The winter's tale. A midsummer night's dream is indeed a lovely story, I've read it earlier, when I was about 16 and I watch the film at least every few months.

    Hello!!!

    My name is Albert!

    I've written only one book. And this book still not published. My book about God, faith, terrorism, murder, life and death, euthanasia, prostitution and true love. And my book in Russian now. But I want to find money and translate my book into English.
    let's stop terrorism. let's stop the killing - the main idea of my book.

    Hi!
    I am a bookworm from China,but found myself dramatically fell in love with western literature,while no one else of my age seems to be interested in this subject.I long to dwell into the splendid depth of letters and words,though I myself am still quite an English rookie.
    I would be responsible for all possible grammar mistakes,since my first language is more than a little different from English>3<.I happily look forward to have thoughtful discussions and friendly interactions>v<!

    My sentiments exactly. For long I maundered here and there but it's only recently I found this forum, so I'm a newbie myself. And it's such a wonderful place I'm sure I'll have a long and fruitful stay. So much to learn, so much to read, and so much to write!

    Welcome here.

    Hello everyone. I am Adumelial - Adu for short. I came here after realizing that the movies I watch (Netflix) are of either Victorian, British, Naturalism, Romanticism, Medieval - I could probably go on with this list. I am presently watching "The Paradise" by Émile Zola whom I found out is a writer from the Naturalism movement. Another reason I am here is that I notice it is very hard for me to read fiction and find a good author because when having read 25 - 50 pages that I can predict the outcome because of the authors style of writing and/or it seems like something I have read or watched before - nothing I can take in and chew on. I have always wished I had taken a Lit class in college. English and Speech class were my favorites during those years. I always noticed my college peers that were in a Lit class as they had the most interesting books to read.

    I am by nature a highly creative person. I love to dream and think of other periods of time people lived in. I like to write creatively but need some inspiration there. I think reading Literature will help me. I used to write poetry in my teens. I can still write and love forums in general.

    I reside in the US and I love to travel! I have been to Germany 3x, England 4x, Turkey, Scotland, Italy, Austria. Also many places within our own United States. I still want to travel to France and Italy. My love for Vampire movies and books makes be yearn to roam the Carpathian Mountains and Slavic regions therein.

    I hold degrees in Computer Science and another in Landscape Design. I worked tech for a few years then came back to my first profession that of being a domestic goddess. :o)

    My hobbies also include Graphic Art - I am a Creator/Developer in two Online Virtual Communities (since 2007). I love cooking. Oh and Gardening both indoors and out has long been a passion of mine. Art is very appealing to me and I collect art stock on my computer in all forms. I also love crafts and have a wide and vast interest and skill set there.

    The Literature Network seems like a place I can enjoy and widen my pleasure of learning. Being a professional student is something I could easily become quite easily. I hope I find myself getting lost in some of the reads here. I look forward also to reading the forums as well.
