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 everyone, I stumbled across this forum a while ago and have decided to finally show the courtesy of registering![]()
I've recently gotten back into the pleasure of reading, after somewhat of an abstinance from any good literature (I can only claim I was possessed by the devil himself, shame on me.. ) but alas, I've found my senses and come running back once more.. so I've a lot of catching up to do and being but a mere young'un at seventeen I've already found so many great books I'm dying to get my teeth into, but am lacking the sufficent time to get through 'um all!
Gladly up for the task though and consequently you'll find me with my head stuck in a book at almost every spare moment, ahh it is good indeed to be back.
Currently reading Wuthering Heights, Crime and Punishment, The Red and the Black (almost finished this one now) and as if I haven't overloaded myself already.. a little slice of some Thoreau and Emerson
Oh, and while I'm at it.. a very happy humpday to you all, my fellow bookwormies.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Welcome all. My name is Sarah, and as you can tell I love hockey (I know it might not be true love, but who cares). Along with hockey, I enjoy art (especially graphite and pencil sketches), poetry, writing in general,making people laugh, chocolate, and I could go on forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, and I can go on forever with this ever thing, too.

Hello! I'm new here too. Like Takeahnase, I've been browsing around this forum for a while before I decided to register. Obviously, like so many of you here, I like reading and am trying to find more time to read. Currently, I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and C.S. Forrester's Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies. I've also been reading Moby Dick (on and off). For some reason, I still can't finish the book!![]()
welcome to you all! hope you all enjoy the site!

Hello everyone. I've been checking out these forums for quite sometime and finally decided to register. I'm currently living in Lansing, MI but hoping to move far, far away once i finish my undergrad. I havent had much time to read anything but textbooks and the occaisional ethnography for class since highschool but id like to get back into it. Fav authors would probably Bierce and Stapledon, but that has been known to change depending on my mood.
I'm also big on films. I used to be a film major for about a year so I know a ton of really obscure artistic/independent/foreign/silent movies. Done some photography as well. Somehow this has officially become the longest introduction i have ever given for myself, so i shall end it promptly.
I look forward to meeting you all.

Hi Everyone
Just a quick greeting to all of you![]()
I have just finished reading 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens and have started 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. Both are wonderful.
So far in 2007 I have read...
Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion
Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Discourse on the Origin of Inequality
Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Reveries of the Solitary Walker
Henry David Thoreau - Civil Disobedience
Gandhi - Autobiography
Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities
Does anyone else feel that they have so much to read but on so little time?![]()
Thanks
Steve (Ominglot)

Hey,Steve welcome to the forum.
I get that feeling sometimes i just wish i can stop time so that i wouldn't have to get off a book to study.![]()
I think Mark Twain once said something like 'Ive never let me schooling interfere with my education'
