Aha! An Anne of Green Gables fan! Another thing to talk about when we next chat...good day anne with an e!
Hello Anne. I grew up knowing only one way to spell Anne, which is with an E.
Welcome!

hello direstraits!
my complete name is anitha, but it so happened that there are three different ways of pronouncing that name in the Indian langauges, and people always got it the wrong way!!
(much to my dismay), so i cut it one day to anne , and now there is no confusion.and now comes an E.. luks like i must shorten it to ann..anna ..something lik tht!

Hi Anne. Welcome. Do you have any reading preferences that you'd like to share?
Hi mehastngs
I just have a special special preference for books! am afraid any elaboration on preferences is going to make a long story.. will try to keep it short. here they go!
i love the classics - the brontes, austen and the like.
A very special preference for Sylvia Plath. and some of Virginia Woolfe's writings.
Love Keats and coleridge among the romantics.
Yeats, emily dickenson - love their poetry
Also am beginning to like some recent Indian writing - Arundathi roy, Rushdie, Pankaj Mishra, Vikram Seth (absolutely swear by his equal music)
Lewis Caroll - read the unabridged version of his alice in wonderland very recently. Absolutely fabulous! I am itching to finish all his titles!
Since some time hv bn trying to finish off all titles by an author - started with Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte- have Mansfield Park by Austen to go, and Shirley and half of Vilette by Charlotte Bronte to go.
Am most interested in discovering what constitues an original "voice" n i guess getting fairly familiar with an author helps to know the author's style and the book's voice. maybe this would help me discover if my writing has its own style or just unconsciously borrowed chaff...
now thats enough preferences i guess..
am off to continue some reading now - "tess of d'ubervilles", by Thomas Hardy..
