Hello from western Canada! I did my undergrad in sciences but I have always loved arts and literature. Here I am now, mid life and I am really pursuing my passion for poetry, literature, and philosophy. Taking a lot of MOOCs and participating in various online websites that are focused on my passions.
My line of work is a field where art and science meet- wine! I enjoy consuming it from time to time to...hehe.
I am participating in NaPoWriMo and have gotten up to poem 6.
That's all I can think to say about me at this time.

Welcome to the site, Dysprosium. Between your Apollonian aspirations and your Bacchic profession, I'm sure you will be a great poet. Please make yourself right at home.
Hi! I just signed up!
Hello. :] I thought I'd come to introduce myself before I hopped into the forum too much.
I was born as Talissia but more often go by Lisa and am a 25 year old Louisiana resident (don't tell anyone but I just recently started to love where I've grown up) and have been attempting to spend my off time reading and writing. I've always been a hard time choosing the books Ive read but as I've aged have developed the need for MORE.
Speaking of which, I'm happy to join you here on this forum as a part of my 2013 new years resolutions.
Hi HCMSgirl. Welcome to the site--please jump right in!
Welcome Amoratorium! I lived in New Orleans in the late 80s and early 90s; pre-Katrina, obviously, and something like the last days of Pompeii in my memory. But they are mostly crazy-happy memories. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the site.
HI Everyone.
Intension matters , action doesnt..Originally Posted by Nlucky
Hey Nlucky. Welcome to the site.
Hey everyone. It was recommended to me that I read "How to Read a Book."
In doing so I am developing an intense desire to begin a journey through a western, and hopefully eastern, canon chronologically. I know that's an incredibly huge endeavor and I"m in no rush.
So, I thought it would be right for me to start here.
Thoughts, advice, and considerations greatly appreciated.
Welcome bsquare! I'm a great fan of reading without a rush, as well as Eastern and Western literature. It is a great adventure, and I wish you all the best on it. Reading chronologically is going to take a very long time, though, since there is so much. It can take years sometimes just to read just a handful of some of the older stuff. You might do better to focus on the novel, and work forward from there. Another approach would be to "time travel" by starting with a book from the 21st century, then reading one from the 20th, 19th, 18th, etc. In theory you could get all the way back to Gilgamesh that way. It would be quite a journey. Or you could just read various classics here and there like some of us do. Good luck whichever road you take, and again, welcome to the site.

Hi everyone. I am new to the site. I am very interested in literature, specifically those in the western canon. I enjoy reading (and rereading) shakespeare and chaucer, as well as the ancient greek tragedies. Furthermore, I enjoy reading texts on maths and physics (I am currently reading Newton's mathematical principles of natural philosophy and Huygen's treatise on light). I am currently thinking of reading either Goethe's Faust or Don Quixote. I am in middle school but after this summer will go to highschool. Hope to use this site to get insight on any random question on literature I have!
Welcome Robert. I love your avatar--Cicero, I think? It sounds like you have an outstanding background in literature, especially for a Middle School student. You are very welcome here. Please don't be shy about speaking up.
