    Greetings everyone, I have signed up mostly because I do not read much, similar to the poster above. I'm 16, and I'm not very educated, I hope to clear that up, both grammar wise (I'm foreign, too), and book wise. Forums often help me become more knowledgeable in a subject, so, here I am.

    Among school books, my favorites are Slaughterhouse Five, Fahrenheit 451, Catcher in the Rye. Otherwise, I read mostly sci-fi authors, like Clifford Saimak and Issac Asimov. I am hoping to read more of classic books, though.

    And a cookie to whoever knows where my nick originated from.

    Wow

    Ciao.
    For many moons I've been looking for a good lit forum with people like me who love to read and discuss books. So this is very exciting.
    I don't have any favorite author: I haven't read enough.
    As far as novels are concerned, my favorite favorites are A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court, The Count of Monte Cristo, Notre Dame de Paris, The Gates of Zion, A Daughter of Zion, David Copperfield, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Prydain Cycle, The Angel's Command, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
    But perhaps the best novels have yet to be written.

    Hi! I bumped into a site that linked me to this forum, and without further ado, I signed up. It's quite fascinating to see hundreds of people here who share a common passion... the love for literature. I'm mostly into classic lit. But I am starting to adore the contemporary ones.

    Hope to learn a lot from this forum!

    You should visit General Literature section, there you would find some really good recommendations.

    Have fun browsing the forum!

    Hi everyone,
    This is just a brief introduction.
    I am 50 years old. I am a self taught (or should that be "self teaching"? I'm not sure) artist. (Abstract Painting)
    I live and paint in Porthleven Cornwall u.k
    I'm afraid my social skills are minimal.
    I have recently started reading more so picked up a whole bunch of "Classics"
    from the library sale.
    You all sound like interesting people.
    Oh I forgot to say, I worked for a long time in a psychiatric hospital and then as an art teacher.
    Kind regards-Charles.
