:) hey everyone, good to be here, i was looking for somewhere to talk about books and i guess I came to the right place :) I'm a sixth form student from Cambridge, England, and I'm studying English Literature, along with Psychology, Sociology, and Music.
Anyway, nice to meet you all :cool:

Busy girl!

Welcome to our cosy little corner of the InterWeb. Grab a chair, and there's all kinds of drinks in the fridge.

Let's talk books.

Cheers
 
Welcome, dollymixture (or do you prefer Steph?) Do you read just English Lit, or is it just a convenient wrapper to hide your pulp romances? :D :eek:

I'm studying Pride and Prejudice and Othello at the moment, and I'm enjoying the former so much! I read Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen for my GCSE coursework, and I didn't really enjoy it very much, so I'm suprised and pleased that I'm enjoying Pride and Prejudice :)

In the course of this year it is my prediction that you will write a number of essays dealing with this question:

'How does Iago manipulate Othello?'

You will most probably use this quote more than once:

Iago: "I am not what I am"

If you're lucky you'll probably get to use this one:

Iago: "O, beware, my lord of jealousy; It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on."

However, you are unlikely to use this one considering the rather cautious nature of English A-Levels...

Iago: "I am one, sir, who comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are making the beast with two backs."

As you were...
 
Welcome to the book forum! :) I had to read Mansfield Park by Austen for O level, which really put me off, but many years later I read Pride and Prejudice and was surprised to quite enjoy it!
