Hi to you all. I am brand new and shiney here. I come from Merrie olde England and I would rather read than eat. The biggest problem with books that I have is when the darned thing slides into the bath.....I probably have the wrinkliest book collection in the UK
lol. I know what you mean! My copy of The Amber Spyglass got mouldy after it fell in the bath so I had to throw it awayOriginally Posted by damianswife

Just thought I'd say hello and thanks for putting together a literature forum. Who'd have thought the internet could be so interesting! Here's my brief introduction:
I'm a Londoner but live in rural west Wales, and enjoy most forms of literature. I write some poetry and short stories, and non-fiction articles, and I'm currently researching a phd in English Renaissance poetry at the University of Wales, looking particularly into the sonnet and it's representation of the self and consciousness.
I also have interests in Milton, the English Victorian novel, and the Romantic period, particulalry Blake and Wordsworth.
Hope to make some contributions to our discussions.
Hi all! Welcome to the litnet forum!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Welcome newbies. Nice to have you here.

Hi! New here!
I come from Greece. Actually i have two hobbies (movies and reading) well..also travelling when there is extra money to spend!
Now i read the Count of Monte Cristo. It's fascinating!
It's difficult to tell which is my favourite book. I'll just name a few that come to mind..such as "The Lord Of The Rings", "Jane Eyre", "Bleak House" and almost everything from Terry Pratchet and Douglas Adams.
Welcome Manolia! I too love movies, reading, and travel. Those are some great favorite books you have! I am sure you will really like it here!
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.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Ahoj, všichni. I'm new here, I'm Czechoslovakian. I more or less devote most of my time to writing, because of personal reasons. The Count of Monte Cristo is an interesting book but I limit my reading since it will interfere with my own writing. Has anyone ever read The Face in the Frost?You guys need a better writer's club though, or maybe just add another one.
Hello everybody!I'm an O'levels literature student studying under a syllabus which includes Great Expectations and Macbeth along with short stories and poems. My teacher recommended me to this site.
