Hi! I'm 20 years old. I am currently studying English Literature as my major in University (2 more years to go), with plans to continue into Grad school. Besides reading and writing, my biggest passion in life is travelling - I've been all over Europe, Africa, and the US. I am a vegan (well, lactose intolerant vegetarian), ballet dancer, scorpio, atheist, Norweigan (family is from there), and runner. I also love fine wine, the outdoors, and spending time with my family. My favorite bands include Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan. My favorite movie is The Godfather (Al Pacino = love). Favorite authors include Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Chaucer, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, and mannnny others. And I pretty love life. Sooo that's me in a nutshell! <3

Heya,

Found this site when I googled "classic literature". A few weeks back I was searching for a forum site just like this, and now I've found the perfect one. =)

So introduction...

I'm turning 17 this June 23rd. I do independent home-study in Hong Kong which is kinda rare. Hopefully, I'll finish high school at the end of this year. I have loved reading ever since I started reading books. But since I started my first year of secondary school, I started to love literature. One of my fav books are Catcher in the Rye, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Notebook, Cannery Row, and quite a lot more. I mostly read classic lately. Although I don't mind any genres.

Currently reading: As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

Hi everyone! I'm at high school and I live in Fairbanks in Alaska. I like soccer, gaming (still got a nintendo 64!) and literature (of course). I read Camus, Kafka, and besides literature I like to study philosophy.

Ello, all.

I don't really remember how I found this site, but the first thing I used it for was to read Vanity Fair...I'll be around a lot as I can rarely get to a library and most of the books I'm looking for are on the site.

I'm big on reading but I didn't make the leap from the Teen Fiction section of my local bookstore to the Literature section until sophomore year of high school (which I just finished). I'm on the Academic Team at my school, and I specialize in English, so...I kind of needed to start reading the heavy stuff. :P

I'm in the International Baccalaureate Program, and I like to read, write, draw, dance, and sing. Big on the fine arts. I'm known to be a big grammar nazi, as well.

I guess that's all. I'll see you around!

Hello all my real name is Jonathan, I am from Tx, USA. My hobbies are girls, drums, philosophy, poetry, paintball, video games (in particular Age of Conan), and having intellectual arguments... I first joined this site for poetry reasons but there seems to be a very good basis for people who enjoy philosophy and I have made a transition to the philosophy thread, but I also read up on the poetry thread sometimes. Hit me up if you ever wanna jam out or have any interesting thoughts that may revolutionize western thought as we know it!!!

Smoogles is the name
Literature is the game.
