Discussion on great literature

Postby nowhere man on Thu Apr 28, 2005 11:44 pm

this forum is to discuss literiture ( yes that includes hitch hickers guide to the galaxy). i wanted to start by asking if anyone has ever read Homers Odessy(sp?) and what they thought of it.

Already it seems the thread is drifting off topic...

Maybe that's Chazoa's magical ability!

*trying to get BACK on topic*

Hitch Hikers Guide maybe deserves it's own thread?
and and and Dark Winter is good. A little... viscious... tub good.

One of my favourite sets of books is the Revelation Space series by Alistair Reynolds.

Want me to send it to you?

By pusing things hard into an open port on your computer (eg USB or firewire) you can in fact send physical objects over the internet.

The downside is that you need a new port afterwards due to... current compatibility issues x)

How?

Postby Bomadeno on Fri Apr 29, 2005 12:01 am

If you are so clever how can you not like books!

Books have taght me almost all I know! They pass on knowledge down generations! They make great fuel! For your mind!

Without books how would you know how to make pie?

I like books. And I read, quite alot. But still... I burn most of them. Leaving only a few.

If I hated books I wouldn't read at above High School level when I'm only 13 XP

I'm not insane, okay. I read a few good books. One I read and liked was the Artemis Fowl series.

Read Catch 22 and it will explain this to you.

I only read the beginning (to halfway) tub I will read the end eventually. Just a bit boring after a while that's all.

Chazoa? Bragging? *never knowticed*

And I bet I know why you liked Artemis Fowl... he was a boy genius rightey?
Do you know any leprechauns?
