    Hi Everyone, Chanced upon the site whilst reading about one of my favourite authors, Henry James. It will be interesting reading the thoughts and opinions of others with regards to good quality lit.

    Laters!

They're about a family of miniature people who live in the spaces under the floorboards of an old house and improvise their needs from bits and pieces that they "borrow" from the normal-sized family who lives in the house.
    I'm sure you would love Suzanne Collins' novels.

    Hello everyone! I have become interested in 19th century french literature starting with The Three Musketeers, Count of Monte Cristo and Les Miserables. I look forward to discussing the printed word.

    hi everyone (I must apologise for my english first). I hope you enjoy reading. I generally don' t, except for some existential novels such us The Stranger/Outsider (by Camus) or The Castle (by Kafka). Is there anyone who shares the same passion?

    Hello everyone! My name is Lynn and I'm so happy to have found a online book discussion forum. I have recently graduated in May with my Bachelor's in Secondary Education English. One of the thing I have missed about school is hearing everyone's input on novels I was reading. I love to hear outside perspectives. Although I typically shy away from being an active member of online communities, I'm hoping to find this one pleasing and addictive enough that I will not follow my usual pattern.

    I have always enjoyed reading as far back as I can really remember. My addiction began with the Babysitter's Club way back when. I'm currently in the middle of reading Dracula.

    Thanks for reading! I know introductions can sometimes be boring and forced.

    Welcome aboard, Traytray. Wish you happy moment.
    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.

    Hi I am from Bangladesh. I am trying to become a full fledged economist one day; currently I am pursuing my Masters in Economics. I have a passion for philosophy and specifically i love the writings of Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell. Although I am usually drawn towards subjects like logic physics and mathematics but somehow i have always been captivated by philosophical writings. I am eagerly looking forward to participating in various discussions in this forum
