Hi,
Dcdingo here, I am a part time writer and a full time federal contractor. I serve the American public on the weekdays and spend most of my free time wondering through the grey upstairs.
I am an avid consumer of science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, history, pizza, and horror. I’ve been writing fiction for a while but have only recently begun to take it seriously.
Happy to make your acquaintance.
Welcome dcdingo!
Sounds like you're interested in some really good genres! If you haven't read it already, I reccomend The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood as a great work of spec fic.
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
Hello!
My name's Gilly.
I'm a theatre student in an arts college. Deeply torn between my love for literature, theatre, philosophy and psychology. I thought theatre would encompass all my interests rather beautifully.
Unfortunately, the only arts college on the tiny island of Singapore has a rather lacking literature module, not because of the lecturer, but because of the lack of interest in the module by the students.
So, I found this forum in a desperate attempt to reclaim my sanity and wits. I hope to learn more about literature from the many intellectual arguments presented here.
Stuff i have read and like to read:
Greek Tragedies, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Homer, Iliad, The Oresteia
Shakespeare Comedies, Love Labours Lost, Midsummer Night's, Tragedies, Othello, Macbeth
Poetry, W.E. Henley, Robert Frost, John Donne, T.S. Eliot
Science Fiction, Asimov, StarTrek:Voyager
Philosophy, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates
Plays by Alan Bennett, History Boys, Talking Heads
Current Current Love: W;t, By Margaret Edson

Hi all.
This is SC Faulkner from Los Angeles.
Hope to babble much and read more.
Just found this forum. Love Thomas Hardy, Henry James, Edith Wharton, or Honore' de Balzac.
I am a piping designer.
Other hobbies include Baroque Opera, especially Handel. I sing many pieces written for castrati. I am a countertenor. Pleased to be here.

Hi ~ Reading is my passion, so here I am!
Nice to meet you!
Can I see another's woe,
And not be in sorrow too?
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief?

Hi there.
I'm also new...
I'm currently studying literature in Aberdeen, and I'm also interested in philosophy. In particular how the two can come together in literary theory.
My favourite writers include William Blake, both the Shelleys (the romantics in general really), Joyce and Woolf, Margaret Atwood, Salman Rushdie, Yeats, Milton...I could go on but I wont.
The only thing I'm not keen on literature-wise are the beat poets. Although I haven't read many of their works as whenever I do I don't enjoy it and this doesn't encourage me to continue, so if someone puts forward a good recommendation I'm sure I could be persuaded yet.
