Hey everyone! Um, I'm new to this site......obviously, and yeah. I live in the east coast of America. Hmm, my favourite book.

I usually like every book I read, and it becomes my favourite, but some of the recent ones that I love.

The Little Prince, Frankenstein, Watchmen, Lolita, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, The Stranger, and No Exit.

My favourite author I'd say is Kurt Vonnegut, my favourite book by him is Time-Quake, with Cat's Cradle as a near second.

I also like reading Freud, which is not fiction, obviously, but yeah. Does that count?

As far as short stories go, I'm not too familiar with many authors, but Woody Allen's short stories and essays are absolutely ace, and well, I idolize the man .

Books I'm currently reading:

The God of Small Things (I might not continue reading this one)
Watchmen (one more chapter to go!)
Sirens of Titan (for english class :-D)
Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious

hey! im new at this so it has taken me awhile to figure out where to post my poems so if anyone has any advice on how to get the hang of this im all ears. people have told me that my poems are kinda depressing so im sorry if you do not like them. i tend to write a lot when i am emotional so i think that might have something to do with my poems are the way they are.i think the reason i wanted to post my poems was to see what other people thought that werent my close friends. so this will be the test to see if they are really any good so i hope everyone will be honest about them. i honestly dont think that they are all that good but i love to write and i like to be able to express how i feel and i have learned that its the best way i know. so please enjoy

I haven't welcomed people in a while. Welcome to all the newbies.

Juls I look forward to reading some of your poems. We have have quite a few people who write poetry and we comment on each other all the time. As to where to post them, go to the Personal Poetry forum and start a new thread for a poem.

hello

My name is Briony. I am 17 and currently applying to a number of different Universities to study English Lit (what else!)

I absolutely adore Victorian Lit - the Bröntes are my favourite authors, shortly followed by Gaskell, Hardy, Arthur Conan Doyle and of course Dickens.

Browning & Byron poetry wise. Oh and a bit of Alfred Lord Tennyson.

Apart from English Lit, my other passion is old black and white films from the 1930s-1950s

Give me Laurence Olivier and Ingrid Bergman over Brad Pitt and Reese Witherspoon anyday.

If I could only save 5 things from my burning house, they would be my ancient copy of Jane Eyre, my family (had to put them in there!) my 'Sherlock is my Holmesboy' t-shirt, my Brideshead Revisted DVDs (and my Hitchcock ones too) and my photo albums

I think those are the basics anyway

I already love this community

[andave_ya]

Welcome to all!

hollywoodkid, I think you'll like it here. You'll find a lot of people with those same loves!

I feel a little inferior to all of you!
I am a student who is absolutely in love with reading all different types of literature. I just finished reading Jane Eyre and absolutely loved it. I have never known a classic like that to be such an easy read-- though that does not mean I don't read and love them. I do!
Like many of the romantic minded, I love Jane Austen's novels. Call me a softie if you will, but they are extremely entertaining. At the moment I'm in the middle of Northanger Abby. It makes me laugh so hard.
My friends and I are trying to compile a list of greatest fictional men, so maybe I'll get around to starting a thread on that topic? If it has not already?

Hi there!

[AlishaIsMyName]

Hi! I'm Alisha! I'm bilingual. I speak both french and english. I live in Canada. I got to a french primary school named after it's founder, "Abbey Landry." I am thirteen years of age. I want to be a famous writer one day, but mission impossible, since all of my texts are garabge. (I try to improve myself. Reading some Tolkien helped me out a little.) I like movies, tea, writing, reading, talking, (I neveeer stop ) having fun and most of all... playing video games! I'm free-spirited and I try to be cheery.

HI EVERYONE!!!

Here's all of that in french (just for fun): Bonjour! Je me nomme Alisha. Je suis bilingue. Je parle le francais et l'anglais. Je vis au Canada, Je vais a une ecole francaise primaire nomme apres son fondateur, Abbey Landry. J'ai treize ans. Je veut etre ecrivaine fameuse un jour, mais chose impossible, puisque to mes textes son une pile d'ordures. (J'essaile de m'ameliore. Lire un peut de "Tolkien" ma aider un peu.) J'aime les films, du the, ecrire, lire, parler, (Je n'arrete jamaaais) m'amuser et surtout... jouer des jeux videos! J'ai un esprit libre et j'essaile de me garder positive.

BONJOUR A TOUS!
