Don't get me wrong, I like Orwell, but it seems odd that Shakespeare and orwell are the only authors with their own forums. I suppose people just like to talk about these guys more than other authors?

Good question. I also wonder the reason. I think they are Admin's favorite authors.
He might, but that's not the reason. Apparently, Orwell was/is the most popular author on the site. Check this thread for more information.

Thanks, Criasor.
But I'm sure in a year someone will come with same question "Why Orwell is?" again. It would be better to put the reason somewhere on forum.
You're welcome, Caspian.

Well let me ask now, why Shakespeare?
(asking as a common reader, who has tried to read Shakespeare, yet couldn't find something really-really special about the lad's works).
At least teachers do and that's why more and more students will spend their time searching for more info about him . All lit teachers talk about Shakespeare no matter if they like his works or not, he's considered too important not to be mentioned in schools. That's my opinion anyway
I have a plan: attack!
Because Shakespeare is probably the second writer of all times (and I assume that he's a sought author in these forums). The question is, why doesn't the greatest of them all have a separate page?

The second?
But then who is the first?
Could it be .....
....me?
Well, I must say that I am flattered. I know that you didn't mention my name, but we can all read between the lines, can't we?
Though I haven't written anything greater than, say, a sonata, I have certainly thought of writing great pieces of music, poetry and literature. So it is totally understandable.
No false modesty!

Taliesin and his
EGO

For the record, I was referring to Homer, but Taliesin, feel free to send your work my way anytime.
Sub, I don't think that's possible. I have a favourite, and so do you, and so does everybody else. There's just not enough space (in a manageable way) to assign a particular forum to all those great writers out there. It'd simply get out of control.

I agree with Crisaor that it would be very difficult to decide the favorite author/s... and dedicate threads to them, but anyone who would like to discuss a particular author and his/her works can start a new thread under General Literature folder I guess...
