    Hi Drama,
    Thanks for the welcome; it's nice to know that there are people out there who won't mind me constantly rabbitting on about books!
    As for Shakespeare, I'm currently studying Hamlet at school (for my AS English lit.). Last year, I did Romeo and Juliet. Those two are my favourites, but I've also read (and seen): A Midsummer Night's dream, Twelfth Night and The Tempest. Until last year (during GCSEs we had to go to school on Saturday morning), I went to a Shakespeare youth drama group, and we did two main pieces based on King Lear and The Merchant of Venice. This year, for my LAMDA silver medal (solo acting), I'm doing a soliloquy from The Comedy of Errors, but I haven't read that one yet.
    I love the poem, by the way. What is it from?

    Hallo! I found this site while researching the word "literature" for an essay. This site is fantastic! I'm having a ball reading all the posts by people who are as hopelessly in love with books as I am.
    Anyways, I am a teenager with decidedly unusual tastes. I have garnered quite a reputation in my church for being the hopeless bookworm, specializing in books no one has heard of. My favorites are Dorothy L. Sayers's Lord Peter Wimsey books (Has no one heard of the inimitable Lord Peter?) and J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I've also read and admired the Silmarillion, but it's really hard reading!
    Finally, because there seems to be an emphasis on schooling, I wanted to include something about it. Right now I am still in high school, but I am looking forward to starting college. Currently (I still have a couple of years) I'd like to major in English literature and minor in library science. Like I said, I'm a hopeless bookworm, and, I like to write as well.

    Sounds like some fantastic Shakespeare experience! The poem is from the book "The Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Hello!
    Ok, first off, i'm a college freshman studying Business Management. I'm addicted to the written word and am a huge shakespeare fan. I have many hobbies besides reading though. I also love dancing (especially salsa and merengue) because I am latina. I am also an accomplished singer who took vocal lessons at the age of 5 but at 10 I stopped taking lessons because my teachers had nothing more to teach. I play electric guitar and compose my own music and lyrics. I am currently writing a novel. I am also currently working as a real estate investor. I speak 4 languages...English, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. I am also learning French. I love watching anime...if you don't know what that is..it is japanese animation. I have lots of friends that I love and cherish very much. I am extremely outgoing and active. I love working out, swimming, running, jet skiing, camping, hiking, hanging out with friends, and so much more. I am usually happy and joyful and when I get sad my friends and family help me get back up in a jiffy. I love life and I love people and I plan to live my life to the fullest!!! This is me. Nice to meet you.

    Hello All-
    I'd like to introduce myself. I am a college student. Actually, this is my second time at being one. I'm at the end of my program and will be starting my externship at a local law firm soon. I have loved literature and the written word since I was a child. My life long dream has been to be an author. I am looking forward to having thought provoking and challenging conversations with you all.

    So, this isn't copyright infringement then...!

    I stumbled in here looking for a source for some Poe literature. I found what I was hunting for, and low and behold -- a treasure trove! So I'll be around.

    Welcome Captain Pike! I too am a big fan of Poe! I especially love "The Raven" I am sure you will love it here!

    Hello all,

    My name is LadyArmand. As you can plainly see I spent way too much time reading Anne Rice as a teenager. I’m a poet primarily but I’ve just finished my first novel and am working on editing it. And hope to shop it around to publishers soon. I’ve been published in a poetry anthology but out by a small press.

    Hey! A classic Trek fan, nice to meet you! Although I have to say, I'm more of a Kirk fan myself.
