Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

[KryStaLitsa]

hey there,
...uhmm....not sure what I'm doin' here...anyway, I'll give it a try..!!
I'm Greek, 17 years old.I'm still a high-school student,final round!!In one year from now i'll be going at the university,i wanna be a teacher.I'm often dreaming of becoming a writer or a poet, too,but i know that 'd be pretty difficult...!!
I love reading books in their writer's own language,dislike translations!they make me think they kind of ''annihilate'' the writer's own thought and inspiration...that's the reason i'd like to study and learn many many languages...i can only speak english,german and greek,while i can understand ancient greek and latin,so far...but I love prototypes!!!
i love collecting second-hand, old books;i feel they've got a history,but family and friends feel i'm mad...yeap..!sometimes,having no books to read,i like just staying still and taking my surroundings in.it's not much,but it's relaxing and inspiring...i strongly dislike tv and computers...the latter i need though...!I also like cooking,and i love flowers and gardening...shame i don't have time!!
i started reading english literature recently...wuthering heights simply amazed me; W.Shakespeare 's a genius.my approval isn't something he's interested in,though,i think!!
well, that's all the "interesting" KryStaLitsa
P.S.:forgive my english,there's lack of exercise

Welcome aboard, KrystaLista.

hey muhsin,thanks!!!i think i got your point, i'm not sure though...is it about minimalism in writing? about writing wisely but not plenty? if so,you may be right, but i used to think literature allows its funs to go for the "marriage" of both quality and variety!!!the "wisely but not plenty"-thing is probably in better match with journalism,not literature,i think...please correct me if i'm mistaken!! thanks again a lot

Any person is born once naturally, but lives more than one culturally. We just got out of old world to face stratums of new world in form of modernism and postmodernism.

I am new to these forums. I found this site by typing in random thoughts.
You know how you go to the store for a certain item and leave with everything except THAT item? Yeah, that's me...a little scattered in life, but always collected on paper. Anyway, I'm here and hopefully I'll get to meet exciting new people who can share in the "random" experiences.

Hi again after an absence of 3 years.

Hi and I think we must recruit you for our Chekhov Short Story thread. Obviously, you must like the author. The thread is temporarily on hold but will be up and running soon. Hope you can join us then.

Hello people!

Let me see... I'm a college freshman with an elementary education major, a dedicated reader, and an aspiring author. I love to talk about books, and crave the thrill of finishing my own books. Right now I'm praying that I edit my latest manuscript well so I can start sending out those submissions. It's always been my dream to be a published writer. For now though, I'm content to write for pleasure and collect good books to read.

It's so hard to pick a favorite book, especially since I only became addicted to reading a few years ago. Of the books I've read so far, I greatly enjoyed Dracula (Bram Stoker), Watership Down (Richard Adams), Sharpe's Rifles (Bernard Cornwell), and Out of the Silent Planet (C.S. Lewis). As far as nonfiction goes, my most profitable read by far has been the life-changing work The Imitation of Christ by the monk Thomas a'Kempis.
