Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hello buya and welcome to the site. There should be a place to discuss Edith Wharton in the forum called Authors List, so that would be the place to take you question about Ethan Frome. Good luck and nice to have you here.

Welcome to the site, Milton. It's always nice to have another grown up around. I imagine that between New York and Las Vegas you've seen some interesting times. In any case, we all share your passion for literature here and are happy to have you along. Please make yourself right at home and don't be shy about joining our conversations. Welcome again.

Hey there, I'm Mathias. I live in Brazil and study History. I have recently started reading literature again, as I have just now gotten used to the reading workload I have. That's why I joined, so I could get ideas for new books to read and discuss the ones I've read. I'm 19 and looking forward to learning from you guys!

[Pompey Bum]

Welcome Mathias! I recently read a historical novel by Mario Vargas Llosa about the Canudos War in Brazil. Interesting read. Anyway, welcome to the site and don't be shy about joining right in.

[yabev]

I didn't know he had a book about it! I do like him though. And the Canudos War is very interesting as well. I'll be sure to look this up. Thanks for the tip and the warm reception!!

[Pompey Bum]

You're welcome. It was called The War of the End of the World, recommended to me by another LitNetter and well worth reading. If you would ever like to discuss Canudos or history/historical novels in general, be sure to check out this thread: http://www.online-literature.com/for...torical-Novels

In any case, enjoy the site!

I want - more than anything in the whole world - to meet one truly free person. An already-evolved, unenslaved, whole being who needn't be taught or awakened to Self. One so fully awake In and To this world - ready and Able to go places neither of us have gone. I'm so sooo sick of the Mushy Middle: those hopelessly struggling to get out or somehow quietly make it through. I want to run away with dead authors, characters from books, and the romantic versions I have of a few select badasses.

[Pompey Bum]

Hi Ricky. Welcome to the site. I'll keep an eye out.

Although I'm not a student of literature, but I have my interest in literary fields. I have joined the family of www.online-literature.com/ few minutes back. My main intention to join here is to increase my knowledge from the vast literary treasure of this website and also share views on the fields of discussions with learned members. Basically I'm a shipping professional having long working experience in the field of international shipping business. First of all I have to get myself familiar with the rules and the features of this forum to make myself fit for posting/sharing views. Hope within few days I shall be able to gain necessary experience to participate in the forum comfortably.

Welcome to the site humayun. It's nice to have you aboard, and I'm sure we all look forward to your comments. Please enjoy yourself.

Hi everyone, I am not a student of literature, but my wife is and I am here to just chat and ask questions when I am in the dark

[Pompey Bum]

Welcome to the site OB. Give yourself over to the dark side.

[BartV90]

Hey everyone! My name is Bart (as the username sort of gives away). I'm a Dutch student of English Language & Culture, 24 currently (getting old). Considering my degree, I have to read books as you can probably imagine, and since my interest in literature is ever-increasing, I thought I'd join this forum. Hobbies include, besides reading of course: tennis, video games, playing the piano, singing and beer (especially Belgian beer). Some of my favourite books include The Catcher in the Rye, The Raw Shark Texts and Nooit Meer Slapen (a Dutch novel).

Looking forward to posting and reading on this forum!

[Pompey Bum]

Hallo en welkom, Bart. English literature and Dutch beer are refined tastes. I'm sure you will bring the site a touch of class. Please enjoy yourself here.

[BartV90]

Haha, dankjewel! Are you Dutch/Belgian/otherwise Dutch-speaking yourself?

If I manage to bring class to anything that would be a first in my life.
