Hello..wow i have no idea how to post things such as my poems ha im a dumb kid
I enjoyed reading this thread and thought I'd add my bit. Greetings to all; I have been looking for a community like this for a while and was glad to stumble across this site. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone.
As for myself: I have been an avid but highly unorganized reader, home schooled through high school. After a brief foray into university-level piano performance studies, I stepped out of academia for some years, earning a certification in teaching ESL/EFL and working in various music-related positions. Now in my mid-twenties I am beginning to earn a bachelor's degree in English language and literature.
Outside of words I work as a barista and a professional harpist. I am marrying a man soon who is truly above all others. To him I say in Anne Bradstreet's words,
"If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can."
I don't know how much I will be able to post on these boards but I feel privileged to join. Thanks all!
Hello, all. I'm 23, graduated this past summer with an English degree (Creative Writing track) and have been slowly spreading myself out all over the interwebz in recent months. You can find me on DeviantArt, blogspot (under thevulpesfulva), and writing.com. There are other sites to which I also belong, but I don't think it's necessary to post my Web history here.
Anyway, I hope to put up some of my stuff, both new and old, onto my blog here.
Happy reading and writing!

Hello everyone!
I guess I'll take a few minutes to introduce myself. I'm a 22 year old married female, and I just moved to Maryland. I found this site after searching around for a decent forum where people discuss literature on all levels, from serious to just giving opinions. I read a few topics and really thought I could add a little to the place. It seems to be a more verbal group, as suppose to Goodreads or Amazon where most conversations are review-based.
I started reading heavily a few years ago when me and my husband packed up with his immediate family and moved to Georgia. I'm originally from Baltimore, and being so close to the city I read a little but there are so many distractions I never thought seriously about books. But once I moved from the city to the country, I found myself with minimal entertainment, a lot of free time, and not enough things to fill my day. Then I discovered literature.
It's been three years since then and I've read a little from every time period and a wide range of authors. I've decided to return to college and pursue my English degree. I'm looking to get an MLS and eventually become a librarian.
Oh, and I love the Boston Redsox.
alright, hi.
my username is actually a moniker i thought of for who is arguably my favourite musican, Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
(if you've never heard of them, kindly do yourself a favour and listen. if you have, let's be friends.)
the nickname i (begrudgingly) go by is Mimi; it's disguising an even more undesirable real name.
i can never seem to describe myself in one or two clean sentences, as most seem to be able to, for they are varied, skewed, and more often than not are simply perceived as odd, to some degree. But here, I'll try:
I think in Serbian, speak in English, dream in French, struggle when reading Dostoevsky and Pushkin in Russian, and am learning German with a reckless abandon. I am eternally, inexplicably fascinated and in love with the majestic city of Vienna, rain and monsoons, far too many writers and poets to name, sleeping, the science of dreams, the moon, medicine, psychology, and the stillness and comfortable melancholia that comes with winter.

Then she would run until morning to ease the ache; swifter than rain, swift as loss, racing to catch up with the time when she had known nothing at all but the sweetness of being herself.

One can only hope.Welcome, you.

I'm 18, live in Indonesia. Crazy about Jane Austen and blogging. Majoring Literature (3rd semester). This site is really help me working out my assignment. Thanks! I love to join the forum, but my English isn't really good
What a great website! I read to the point of exhaustion, and prop my eyes open to keep going. The forums here are very interesting.
Hi everyone,
It's very exciting to be in this discussion forum. I hope to be able to meet (online) like-minded, passionate readers who enjoy everything from Shakespeare to Stephenie Meyer.
Kind regards.
