    I think it's Russian

    I'm looking for a book,it may be a short story actually, I'm really not sure. It's about a man who looks into a sphere and can see the entire Universe from every concievable angle without any confusion or distortian. I know it's vague but I've never actally read it, and for the love of god I...

    What exactly does a PH'd mean anymore ???

    Hey, does that mean all of us can have one, since we're all not really dead? Fantastic. I'm a doctor.

    Space Shuttle - For What?

    It probably seems now that NASA is a waste of time, because we've only just started. But eventually, in the future, there will be a time when the benefits of space travel will be so huge that humans will look back on today like we look back at the first archaic ships. But if we dont take the...

    Music while you are reading or writing. Life's Theme Song?

    Music as that effect on me occasionally as well. But while Im doing it? Ughh. Whether Im writing or reading, I need total quiet. Otherwise I'll read the same line a thousand times and end up getting ra-heely annoyed. It's not so bad when Im writing, especially if it's the same song that got...

    Does anyone know....

    Paradise Lost is the obvious one. But if you dont read much poetry, it takes a looong time to really get into it. Trust me.

    Life's Final Chapter

    If it was possible, I'd ideally be cryogenically preserved, then blasted into space. If im gonna be brought back, I sure as hell dont want it to be here. I'd also have as my epithe on the front 'Dues Ex Machina'. And If anybody wears black, and if a priest is allowed within 100 feet, their...

    Brainwaves and stuff

    Have you ever wanted something across the room, but can't be arsed to move so you try and move it with your mind? No? Just me and that guy from the OC then. It's commonly believed that twins are more sensitive to telepathy. I can refute that right now. Me and my brother often finish each...

    The Seven Plots

    Now I hate to put down any book before I've read it, but when you say there's 7 main plots, and then use something as ambiguos as Tragedy or Quest, my bullsh*t meter starts ringing. I mean it sounds to me like he's just stating the obvious. Can't see what I would get out of reading it myself.

    What's the WORST book you ever read?

    For me, the worst book has to be Dune:TBJ. Not only did it completely suck, with poor writing that stooped to levels of repetition not seen since Homer (and at least there was a reason for that), but it really pissed me off when I think about how good it could have been if his dad had wrote it...

    National Stereotypes

    In Wales we're all either coal miners, or in an all male choir. We aren't inbred, in fact, we dont even breed with humans. Just our local farm animals. (We all have farms by the way. Huge ones, with no electricity). Oh, and we all have amazing opera like singing voices. We all speak...

    How do you arrange your bookshelves?

    I dont have a bookshelf, only a sort of doorless cabinet with one shelf. Its not too small, but it's absolutely crammed. When I get a proper shelf or somehing I'll probably oganise it, but right now its impossible.

    Why do we like collecting books?

    I collect books because when I want to read one I always buy it, because I can't borrow as I hate to give them back. Its also really satisfying to have so many. Plus it looks impressive when someone comes over and you can show them racks of books. The only thing that makes you look more...

    right to life - right to die

    It's a difficult subject. I heard about a similar case where the person in question was totally paralyzed and thought to be colpelety brain deda, but it turns out she recovered. The scary thing is she was totally concious the whole time and could hear a discussion about whether to pull the...

    Currently Reading

    despite being halway through The Once and Future King, I picked up and had a flick through a book of Edgar Allen Poe poetry. Mainly for the Raven. Who'd have thought a 19th century poet would inspire a wrestling catchphrase?

    Banned Books - Read any lately?

    I've only got through 6 of 'em. Harry Potter (1-5), the 2 Dahls, Catcher in the Rhye, Handmaids Tale, and Goosebumps (1-god knows how many). I did laugh at that last one. It really annoys me when people try to ban things that they disagree with, without any regard that others may not share...
