Hello :] I'm not actually new here but it's been so long since I've been on I thought I would reintroduce myself.
My name is Adorerodio (Dio for short), I am female- don't get confused by the name. I just graduated high school and I like to call myself a poet. I frequented, and plan to frequent again, the poetry threads- especially the picture poetry contest. I love to read- no specific genre or author, anything really. Tolkien, John Green (go nerdfighters!), Alcott, Austen, etc etc. I'm going to college to study Elementary Education and become a teacher.
So there you go. I haven't been on because I have been exceptionally busy and I also waste too much time on FB. :]
Maybe I'll see you around! :}

Hello,
I just discovered this site because having arrrived at work, I realized I'd left my ragged old copy of David Copperfield in the car. I'd intended to re-read and re-remember what happened when Aunt Betsey showed up broke & destitute.
It's only my 3rd or 4th time around with this, my favorite book, so I was a bit anxious to keep on with the flow. So I just Googled looking for an on-line text and found myself here.
A very happy discovery!
I'm overjoyed to find a place like this to see the different interpretations of CD's characters and their comparisons to ourselves and each other.
Thank you!
David
Hi All,
Recently I was in the middle of reading Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain and was so baffled that I sat straight up and said, "Surely there must be a forum for this kind of confusion." This was the first site that came up when I googled forums for literature, and I'm hoping that all of you can help me out.
By the way, I am mad about coffee and dark chocolate and photography, and I have absolutely no idea who my favorite author is. A few of my favorite books are by Walker Percy, Robert Penn Warren, Tolstoy, and Dostoyevsky. And Mann is growing on me.
Hello! I'm a literature loving guy who is so happy I found this site! It's great to be able to find so many authors and their stories in one place.
Hi, I'm thelightofday. I was thinking of Snow Patrol lyrics when I came here. I go to college, and I'll be getting my Associate's in Liberal Arts when I'm done. I'm going to transfer to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn for my BFA in Writing, so if I get in, I'll be happy about that.
I like to engage in debate in the most humane, non-degrading way possible. I'll act like a decent person to you no matter how you act towards me--but that doesn't mean you get to walk all over me, either.
I do what I can, and I always try my best no matter what.
I'm nineteen years old. I live in the United States, in New Jersey. That's as much geographical info as you're going to get from me.
Anyway, this is long enough, so I'm going to explore some more and maybe I'll see more people on the way.

I love books. I love people who love books. I assume everyone here loves books. So rest assured, all of you, that nobody loves you
Hey Everyone,
I just found this forum while looking for information on Finnegan's Wake and it looks like the kind of place I've been looking for to discuss all the books I enjoy!
I just recently also got an eBook reader (the Kobo) and really been liking it.
Currently Reading: Anathem, Finnegan's Wake, The Brothers Karamazov
Hello everyone, I love books, what genre it is doesn´t matter as long as it is good and I would love to discuss those books.
