I'm Joel, and I am a junior at UNC. My majors are English and philosophy, though my real passion is literature. I write some of my own poetry, but as I have no formal training or anything, I'll just say I dabble. My mom got me into reading in the first grade with My Father's Dragon, which is an amazing book for children, and I haven't looked back since.
Oh, and anyone who can tell me where my handle comes from gets bonus points![]()

Hello, everybody![]()
I´ve just jumped in, so the first thing to do is introduce myself...
I love reading (obvious) and I was looking for a place to practise some English, so...
what a better one than a book forum ? I typed those two words in google and... voila... here I am
. I´m Spanish so, although I think I have a good English level, be comprehensive if I make mistakes (and please correct me if make a really big one
![]()
)
I supose I should start telling you about my favourite books or something but I don´t have any favorites really, the list changes constantly...
Currently I´m reading two books: one is "Dragon Memory" by Javier Negrete, a Spanish author, so you probably don´t know about it, and the other is "The day of the ants" by Bernard Werber, not too popular either. The last ones have been "The road" by Cormac McCarthy, "The book thief" by Markus Zusak, and "The fly" -a short story- by George Langelaan.
Lately I´m into Sci-fi, but I read many different novel genres.
And, well, that´s all... I´m going to have a look around to make myself familiar with this place.
See you![]()

Welcome, huihuffaker.I would love to hear one of your poems.
As for posting threads, you have to be in the subforum you want to post the thread in (ie. "General Literature", "General Chat", "Introductions", etc.). There should be a button that says "New Thread" just above the part that says "Threads In Forum".
You might just want to visit this thread: "Using the site: A tutorial for newbies." It's a lot more clear there because of the use of images.
com-pas-sion (n.) [ME. & OFr. <LL. (Ec.) compassio, sympathy < compassus, pp. of compati, to feel pity < L. com-, together + pali, to suffer] sorrow for the sufferings or trouble of another or others, accompanied by an urge to help; deep sympathy; pity

Hi all,
Just a little hello from me,
I'm 21 in a few weeks (whoop), a third year English Language & Literature student (mainly Literature) at the University of Liverpool, UK (EU Capital of Culture for 2008 could I just add).
I'm a big bookworm and spent a great amount of my younger days reading Science Fiction and Fantasy, I came to University to study "real" books and realised all the best ones are Fantasy of some sort anyway.
The pressures of my course are such that I dont get a chance for a lot of reading off the curriculum (after all you can always read ANOTHER book by that author, its only going to help), but I do enjoy my music and have been teching myself guitar this last year or so. I'm also a fairly proficient fencer (the sword fighting kind, not the garden variety) and am training for the Liverpool Half Marathon in March... at least I will be soon as my exams are over (5 days to go).
Can I also say that this website has been a godsend in the last few years, whenever I've had a quote in my head but couldn't remember the chapter, or I wanted to follow the course of a particular word through a novel, the search feature on this website was resorted to on more occassions than I can count. I'd never write an essay on a book I hadn't read but your website has allowed me to get closer to the text and uncover layers I simply would not have had time to do by doing a detailed re-reading of texts on top of the my normal workload.
Thanks for being there,
Laughablefellow
