    drunk and leaving a party

    i appeciate that you play devil's advocate, motokid. i notice you start quite a few threads that pose interesting social questions. when i ever get a chance to visit for longer than 30 mins i will get to putting my 2 cents into as many as i can.

    The Chronicles Of Riddick

    i think it has to do with the sexual content. didn't the main male character in amelie work in a porno shop? i think there the porn references in amelie contributed to the R rating. i think thats lame, but it's the only reason i can think of without researching it

    The Chronicles Of Riddick

    i didn't enjoy CoR as much as Pitch Black. i was actually kind of bored. Pitch Black is one of my favorites, i think maybe my expectations of CoR were too high. oddly enough, i can't stand vin diesel.

    Books set where you live

    the only book I've ever read that took place in (around) Vancouver was a historical fiction novel called Vancouver. i thoroughly enjoyed the stories in the book, but it was really cool to read about places i've been to. i learned a lot about areas around my hometown, it was very interesting.

    drunk and leaving a party

    i agree with the people here that say the legal responsibility lies with the driver and that the host has moral responsibility. i've lost many friends to drunk driving, and in all the situations someone else could be indirectly blamed. imagine the possibilities (as indicated in above posts). we...

    What character in a book reminds you of yourself?

    i like to think i'm like Claire from the Outlander series. she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty, she's quick thinking and usually level-headed, and she's passionately in love with her man (sorry about the cheeze). i wish i were as devoted as she is to helping others, but i do what i can

    What's your occupation?

    i didn't - but i see how funny it sounds. does anyone ever envision themselves selling newsprint?

    i sell newsprint, the big rolls of paper that newspapers are printed on. i don't know how i got here. i'd rather be an archeologist

    Defined by our job

    i think, like any personal question, one should take the answer lightly. although you can learn something about a person from their job (even if that person is only doing a job because of the money), the job doesn't DEFINE the individual. of course, i believe the question is mostly just...

    John Steinbeck

    I enjoyed "Of Mice and Men" also- though it's been a good 10 years since I read it. "East of Eden" was excellent and so was "The Pearl". My most recent Steinbeck read was "Tortilla Flat". It's an insightful short story of friendship and property. It was funny and touching. But I guess my...

    Are Picture Books Art or Literature?

    i agree with Occlith and Novella. and i recommend Andre Dahan's books as an example of both literature and art.

    Reading in the Bathtub

    reading in the tub is a luxury for me. it's an activity devoted strictly to relaxation, and it takes a lot of time. i dont worry about getting my book wet because my tub has a built in curved seat that the water can't reach, so i can rest everything on that if i'm interrupted or need to add more...

    José Saramago: Blindness

    Everything said above I agree with, so I won't repeat it in a review of my own. But I will mention my favorite part was when I look forward to reading the book again.
