Hi, I'm new member in this forum, I'm looking forward to meeting literature fans and specially Jane Austen's fans
Welcome aboard blueberry78.
The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein

Glad to have found this forum and hope to meet alot of "like-minded" individuals.
Well, I just found this site because I was trying to look up something from Orwell's 1984. I do indeed believe that a lot of what Orwell predicted is happening in America today (more about that on that thread) and was really just interested in learning how folks a generation or two or three ago dealt with issues like the ones we hear so much about from the "noose media" today.
I'm a college grad from way back in the 20th century and feel a bit like a dinosaur since all my Computer Engineering experience is so old in computer years. If a horse ages three years for one of ours and a dog seven years, I probably age about 10 years for each calendar year. Or at least what I learned seems to keep getting more and more obsolete. When Windows first came out, I can remember thinking no one would want an interface that insults their intelligence the way Windows' "Draw Me A Picture" interface does. Long live DOS! Well, it's... I mean it WAS... Oh, never mind...
I could tell you all about myself but it wouldn't be as interesting as some of the other posts, so I'll spare you the yawns. Nice to "meet" you all!

Hello everyone. I have recently discovered the joy of Literature and Language and I hope to learn much from this site.
Hi to you all, just joined today. Looking forward to sharing thoughts & ideas on the written word. I'm not much of a classical reader, just enjoy a good book. Be back soon.![]()
Hello, my name is Angel. I am new here, but you will get to know me really well. LoL![]()
hello hello everyone ^.^ I am looking forward to discovering much of the literature world with help from this site
hi everybody, i just registered and wanted to say a few words of introduction. i'm german, currently living in berlin, working at uni (philosophy & cultural studies). i've been running a literature blog in german with my short fiction, some experimental web-related stuff and pieces of a novel in progress for a while, and lately i've been feeling like i'd love to try writing in english too. being no native speaker, this is still very much like trying to make yourself at home in a very dark room, but it's also interesting because it makes you think about words in a way you probably wouldn't if they belonged to your mother tongue. anyway, you can find the first results of my attempt to become a bilingual writer on my blog indenselbenfluss.twoday.net (the blog's name means "into the same river"). i'm looking forward to reading the other members' texts here, and i'd appreciate critical comments or any kind of feedback. alright, so...imagine i'm taking a bow now and awkwardly rubbing my palms while leaving the stage with the mic...

I think many persons know me by now. And in fact it is my posts that introduce me better, yet to introduce myself formally is a joy indeed.
I am from Nepal, a country you may know by the great Himalayan ranges, and Mt.Everest, best of all. The birthplace of the Buddha is another thing worth mentioning to identify myself with.
Legends are the makings of Nepal and we live more in legends than in realities. We have more gods than people and more dreams that moments of wakefulness.
Nepal is more of a country of poets, singers, mystics and less of scientists, merchants.
Notwithstanding all that said i am at heart not a Nepali. The fabrics I wear identify me with is Nepali. These are the externals to me. The real me is my writings I outfit myself with to be together with you across many oundaries.
I am Haribol Acharya. And how funnily named!!! Since all of you know my by 'Blaze of glory. A simple lad and all I know is skin deep, and learned from books and all of you through interaction with you.
I was from an agrarian community, a remote part of Nepal. First, if you visit Nepal you will find the country a remote and highly undeveloped place, and when you talk about a remote village of a remote country you can figure out the degree of remoteness.
But now I am in a place with all the amenities a modern city has.
I am a banker by business, and a writer by choice.
My domains of interest?
I am a funny man, simple, easy going, no complex. I can make friends from princes to paupers, and I can feel at home anywhere and with any. Speaking of my interest I am interested in so many things at the same time. I like to be a writer, learn new languages, visit many places, read many classics, read books legends and mythologies. I am interested in businesses. I love gardening, write poems, and play musical instruments, pray, meditate despite the fact that more often than not I present myself as an atheist.
One of my intimate friends, in fact I have many here, is Nikolai. I often cold on and harsh on in words, but not in reality. I believe in spirituality deeply and I am not my words at times. As a writer I fabricate ideas and it is not necessary that I am my words thou at time I am my words too.
My firm and unshaken belief is in you, not in name or a specific identity you wear, a nationality or a degree. No a person that is you beyond the seen.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
