Hi all! brimstone here
I'm 18 years old and live in London. I signed up here due to the fact that the forum I currently use has a very poor literature section, and I wanted to come somewhere I could discuss it properly.
I'm looking forward to getting all sorts of literary recommendations and discovering loads of new authors - despite the fact my reading list currently consists of fourteen books!
Anyways, just wanted to say hi
Hello. I...errrgh! I sit here wishing to have something super cool to say (being the newest kid on the block) and I have drawn a blank. Whaaaa! Oh well. How-di-do! Nice to make your acquaintance!
Welcome brimstone! This is certainly the place to get proper lit discussion! Lots of smart,well-read people happy to oblige.
Welcome Lolalilu! I too am often lost for words
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
Hi rcharney, lolalilu, Geminimoon and brimstone! I hope you all like it here in this forum!

I'm just now reading Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey and just today purchased The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Gaskell. I was just surfing around for information on Elizabeth Gaskell when I found your site.
I'm a bookseller for a major chain. I live in Southern California with my husband of 28 (almost 29) years. Our son is a fourth year student at UCLA. I'm first and foremost a bookworm, and I feel I have fairly eclectic taste. It's probably obvious that I love the Brontës and their ilk. (I'm more a fan of Charlotte and Anne than Emily).
some favorite titles:
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
The Secret of Lost Things by Sheridan Hay
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
Following the Equator by Mark Twain
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
(I'm sure I'm missing some favorite titles. I love so many books!)
My favorite genres are literature, popular fiction, travel literature, books about books, biography, and mystery.
I think I was born to be a bookseller. I love my job! I even handsell books to friends when I'm not at work, lol!
I'm also an avid Bookcrosser. (If you've not yet heard of bookcrossing.com, check it out!) I am MissTree on Bookcrossing. (If you join, I'd appreciate being listed as the referer.) We are a very fun, eclectic group of people whose main hobby is to spread literacy and good vibes by leaving books (labeled with an identification number) in public spots for people to find. The finder may remain anonymous. The hope is that, whether anonymous or not, the finder will write a journal entry describing his or her experience with the book. It's even better if the finder releases the book in his turn for someone else to find and help the book continue its journey.
I guess that was a pretty long introduction, lol, so I'll stop here.
Hello everyone,
I'm Marijn, from The Netherlands, 29 years of age. Though English is not my "native tongue" I think I've a good comprehension of English grammar and vocabulary. English Literature is an important part of my life, my personal education. Still reading and re-reading.
At this moment my main interests are William Blake, D H Lawrence, rereading Moby Dick; more longterm on Keats and Byron and Shakespeare.
Loved Hemingway's The old man and the sea, and had more then once some good fun with catch-22.
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
---
He who binds himself a joy
Doth the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity's sun rise
