    Hi, I´m a writer from Argentina. I write mainly novels and short stories, which you can find on my website:literaryechoes.com. As every writer, I´d like to make a living of this passion, but I also want to create beauty, that is, something people can relate to. I look forward to meeting interesting people here and sharing some thoughts. Thanks.

I joined the LitNet forum because I was an English major, but I am probably the most literature-ignorant person that ever signed up for this site. Also, I remember being quite internet-ignorant as well - some things don't change. Um, I've been hanging out on reddit here lately. I remember back in the day, forum posting used to be fun. Then Facebook happened. Facebook is a big steaming pile now. Started watching youtube. Got depressed with all the mean people there...seriously, people just type the meanest comments. And some of the people put these videos up that are so...strange. They really just shouldn't sometimes. So here I am revisiting this site while I'm up late with insomnia, revisiting the past. You can't ever go back though. Anyway, here I am reintroducing myself. Not sure if I'll be around much to entertain (or irritate) people with drunk posts or not. We'll see how it goes. Hola people.
    Woah! I just saw that ya posted, Shalot!! Very good to 'see' you again, please come by more often. I, too, had been away and am back now.
    For the records, I never did open a Facebook account. I saw, amidst my friends, what woes befall those who are addicted to that site.... lol!

    Hi, I'm Sohaira and I'm new here. I basically made an account ask for you guys' opinions and suggestions about my final thesis topic. I've chosen Anne Carson but i cannot find a theoretical framework that hasn't been applied to her work before. I'd love some help. Thank you ^.^

    Dear fellow members I was born just to the west of London shortly after the second world war. Like most Britons at the time we were very poor. Food rationing continued for some time after the war right up to 1954 just after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. I was five years old before I saw a sweet or a bar of chocolate but we sometimes had biscuits. There was a friend of our family who was an Author and he told me once that if a story was told well it could be about absolutely anything and still be a joy to read. When I retired a short while ago I decided to write a book. It will be a pleasure to share my efforts with others.

    Hello. I chose the username "Ouroboros Dream" because I'm heavily into Jung and that crowd. Also big on fantasy, SF, and a lot of 19th-cent literature.

    Have you read "The Worm Ouroboros" by E.R. Edison? It's one of the best pre-Tolkien ssword an d sorcery fantasy novels. The villains are great characters (Gorice X).

    Yes, I read the four Eddison novels years ago, and enjoyed them. I hope to re-read them one of these days. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Hi there everyone, I'm a writer/reader and have published an adventure novel. I used to primarily read fantasy, but I have grown more interested in postmodernist/experimental writing, and am currently reading Thomas Pynchon's "Against the Day", and enjoying it tremendously. Nice to meet everyone!
