    Wru-wrong:
    Yowsa. Quite right: "Read" and "mistakenly"

    Get me a new keyboard and you'll no longer have to accuse the gendanken of being some godammned schoolteacher.

    No, actually I'm still in and here's why:


    Your attempts to curb reality with a yawn is the same delusional ploy we Americans kid ourselves with thinking Just Say No campaigns will end drugs one day.

    Each and every time a hairy little Ahmed blows himself up he's as effective as Bush funneling money into non profit organizations thinking this is the way to cure druglords.

    What Ahmed really accomplishes is doing his bit for humanity and erasing himself.

    books can only tell you so much. they are stuck, frozen in their own time. i see them more as a research, reference source than entertainment.

    two good ones:
    Black Holes and Time Warps , Einstein's Outrageous Legacy - by Kip S Thorne
    Flatland , A Romance of Many Dimensions - by Edwin A Abbott

    i love any of dean koontz's novels, he's amazing.
    oh and wraith, if you thing reading is for people who don't have lives, and you call people who spend time on sciforums losers, then maybe you should just stop coming to this site, obviously, you are much better than us losers who read and don't go out anywhere, right?

    Add these others to my pretty little basket:

    "Fathers and Sons"- Turgenev
    I will start a thread about why it is that we ....'thinkers'.....are a blot for planet earth.

    "Candida"- Shaw
    More reasons why I should start that thread.

    And "La Vita Nuova" by Dante
    ...only because she physically eats his heart in front of him. Smoooooooth.


    Dreamsa:
    Sing it brother, sister, whateverthefuckyouare.......

    Only expection is that you have, in all honesty, horrible reading tastes. Grisham and Salinger of all people...............*cringe*. Dear god.

    Coluber:
    Johnathan Swift, dear. J-o-h-n-a-t-h-a-n.

    Allright little boy- that was the last straw.

    Usually I'm either curbing your inanity with a yawn or feigned interest but I wonder as only the Universe would in my case:

    what the fuck is your godamned problem?
