Saludos, Salut, Hello!

Hello, everyone. I'm Ana and I just earned my official membership ;)
Here are some things about myself:

-I am 20 years old (21 on 2/1) and a college student: at the moment, you will find me out of college. I am taking a break, working some, reading some, going out some, and starting school in New York City in the spring.

-I am a Fine Arts major: perhaps concentrating on Painting, or Printmaking...Although I don't write often, I enjoy writing when I do and someday I want to write for a Visual Arts magazine and also go into Curating.

-I live in Miami-Dade county: I actually live in Hialeah, but if it makes anyone feel better about knowing where a place is, you can say that I live in Miami...

-I have my own little library: I've been packing lately and time came when I had to pack my books. I discovered that I had close to 100 books! It didn't look that way to me.

-No, I've not read ALL of them: I do like to collect old books, like the ones that libraries sell to get rid of. I prefer Fiction, and if it must be Non-Fiction, then I prefer the Social Sciences.

-(My book collection consists of almost all the categories that books go into in a library, including religion...)

-Things I love include: music, art (including film), the arts, literature, and dancing, oh! and ... I'm sure I'm forgetting something else.

-Favorite authors: Charles Dickens, Tennesee Williams (yea, yea, playwright, I know), Robert M. Pirsig, Gabriel García-Márquez, Rubén Darío, Pablo Neruda, among others (it's pretty hard to think with all my books packed up!, believe me, there are many more authors in the english language literature, but I really can't think right now. )

-Favorite novels: "Bright Lights Big City", "Zen and the Art of...", "The Little Prince", "Parable of the Sower", and yes, "Wuthering Heights" too! others included as well.

-Lastly, but not least: I am bilingual and with a little bit of a third language. I bet you can guess which languages I speak...(the middle one is the one that i practice but don't actually speak.)

Well, now on to read "The Diamond Age"

p.s.-I love short stories and plays!

forgive me if i wrote too much

Hi Ana - welcome aboard! You didn't write too much at all : - )

Welcome, Ana!

I love Charles Dickens and have read everything by him (I mean it when I say everything). Wuthering Heights is also my favorite book. Which makes me think, I need to dust off a classic something or other when I get through with The Diamond Age.

Ana, hello!

Worry not about post length. As Mary and others can attest, I'm responsible for some of the more lengthy screeds on the site, so I'm living proof it takes more than length to offend here.
