    Hi folks, welcome to the forum!

I read everything, from graffiti in public toilets (it's pretty cool) to advertisements on the street. I am currently very attracted by the 19 century, Becquer, Poe and Tolstoy (specially the first one).

    My other passion are films (I considered once in becoming a film director), lately Chinese cinema, Music ( Chopin and Queen) and languages. I started a month ago mandarin.

    I could add a few more things..but I'm tired. I hope to meet people that share my love for books like I do( In fact...thats the reason why i joined this forum, because the people I know hate reading) and I guess I'll you all around. Bye.
    Oh, you seem to have introduced yourself quite well. And you say you are not good at writing?

    Hi,

    After too many years of unfulfilling office work I decided to return to school to follow what I am passionate about - literature. I found this site looking to confirm some poetry analysis.

    For a person who loves words, finding the right ones to talk about myself is a bit tough.

    I love this idea of a totally bookish forum.

    I want to start posting, but I don't know where to start!

    Hello all! I am a 15 year old high school student. I just joined yesterday and I don't know where to begin. As you can probably tell from my username, I love British literature! I also enjoy reading philosophy, fantasy, and science fiction. I am an all around bibliophile, however (lol I should have to say most people on here are). I enjoy reading in English and French and I hope to be proficient enough in Latin/Greek, so as to read in those languages. I love listening to Classical music, Jazz, and Broadway music and I have been playing the violin for about 7 years and piano for about 2 years. I also love dancing, singing, and acting and playing chess! I hope this suffices as an introduction, and I hope to start posting soon. Nice to meet you all! P.S. I enjoy maths and sciences, too.

    Hullo. I'm 14-years-old and a freshman who just found this website the day before yesterday. I enjoy writing poetry and recently began writing on my first book 'Pyro'. I enjoy English, literature, and dusty volumes of old, old books. I'm into japanese culture (read: anime + manga) for some reason. I'm cuban/american and speak both french and spanish. I love singing (even thought i can't,) acting and playing the guitar. Chess is cool too, but my hobby is book collecting. I hope to meet more new people who share my interests too!

    I hope this a good enought introduction and nice to meet y'all!!!!

    Hello Bakiryu!

    I have a private library of books that I have collected that i have read and want to read. My collection consists of about 1500 titles, some are rare books. I plan on donating my books, which I have bought with my own money, to public libraries and other community and charitable causes, once my collection reaches 10,000 or more.

    Gasps! You plan on donating your books?! *faints in horror*

    (Sobs, I wish i counted as a charitable cause). I've only managed to collect 700 hundred books in the three years I've been in this country. (dirt poor, nods, nods.)



    Hi to all the new people!

    Hello!
    I'm a 25 year old Australian who loves books, writing, and art. I'm currently in university, studying literature and I plan to become a librarian and a writer. The love of literature has lead me here and I would like to learn more from people who also love reading.

    I'm glad to meet someone my age who has a lot of the same interests on this site. I know this may seem a little childish but have you ever read the boxcar children series? I think there was one or two books about them being in a lighthouse. Who's your favorite Jazz artist.
    Life is like a book. You gotta take it one chapter at a time. Taking it a page at a time is to slow. Taking it a word at a time is just out of the question.

    Hi, I just joined.
    I'm taking continuing education classes in the classics. Right now we're reading King Lear and I'm just blown away by it. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar reaction. I lost both of my parents last year, which makes reading it that much more difficult!
