I'm with the "never even been tempted to try it" crowd. Some people call me a liar, or say that I should, just to see what it's like. That seems rather pointless. Why do something I don't want to do, just to see "what it's like". Not sure where I'd benefit from that! In all honesty I don't...

I watched it a little while ago but got bored rather quickly. The men spend most of the time just holding onto each other with the occassional jab to the ribs with a fist or a knee, then lots more grappling. I thought the drunks I see fighting outside the nightclubs or in the school halls would...

Code 61 - Donald Harstad

I'm not big on the weather here, it's usually pretty normal and dull, but photos and stories of storms and unusual weather systems do fascinate me when I come across them. Strange someone should mention they get less storms in the summer than they used to, I remember as a kid always getting...

I'd say I was an average speed reader. There's a lot of factors that come into it, and the time it takes to read about comes more down to how often to read as opposed to how fast you read, I'd say. I always intend to time how many pages I read per hour, but always forget or get interupted. 500...

I don't recall ever getting burnt out, but I go through phases when I read a lot, and others when I don't read much at all. This is sometimes because I'm too busy to read but other times it's just because I don't feel like it, maybe that's a similar thing. Some books I know are very good I just...

I can read in cars no problem. One of those weird things you just take for granted unless you can't do it I suppose. I struggle to get comfy, but that's the same with reading anywhere, I'm always rolling around. Even the comfy positions need adjusting every couple of pages :(

Wounded Land - Stephen Donaldson

Forgive my ignorance, but same reaction as what? A mix of opinions up there, not quite sure which of those your brother had a similar reaction to? Thanks!

If that was a reply to my first statement, I guess I didn't explain myself well enough. I didn't mean some people have sex and fall in love because of that. Surely that'd be more falling in love with the sex that the person, and that's not possible (I wouldn't say?) But some people meet and...

Another phrase I've just remembered I hate, mostly because my mum says it so badly is "...do you know what I mean?". Not sure if it's my common family, but people say it a lot and it really bugs me. My mum isn't particularly common, she usually enunciates quite well but she always pronounces...

I'm new here, so can't make any comment on the way things are going, but it seems every forum I visit, or hang out at regularly has a group of "seniors" who say thing's aren't how they used to be, and that it's full of immature little kids, and no one talks about anything of worth anymore etc...

We don't have a coffee table, but the only person i can think of that does doesn't just have books on his; it's carved to look like a big stack of books!

Having never written on read fanfic, my opinion may be a little uninformed, but I'd say it was usually ok. As long as it was actually fanfiction - fans of a work expanding on it, surely by definition it is a homage and not a rip off? I understand where you're coming from when you say someone...

I buy 99% of books I read. 100% in the last couple of years when Ive been earning my own disposable income. But like the "Second Hand vs. Brand New" thread, now I think about it, it'd make a lot more sense to borrow books from the library. It doesn't have a great selection, but I'm sure there's...

I usually have one book I'm focused on, and other books half read either because they have been semi-abandoned (I don't like to admit to quitting on a book!) or because they are reference or for some other purpose. Right now I have my main book, soon to be replaced with another, one lighter...

I loved the Matrix, but being a little young didn't notice any of the hype surrounding it or really understand quite how deep it was. Reloaded I loved, was amazing visually and opened up so many doors for Revolutions. Made me see The Matrix in a different light too, brought the philosophical...

(Past editing time, sorry!) I do wait for books I want to read (HP being the exception, shamefully) to come out in paperback but this has nothing to do with price, I just don't like reading hardbacks. I find it near impossible to get comfy reading as it is and big bulky books sure don't give...

Mine is very uninformative and has no resemblance to anything. I'm used to forums that have either bigger avatar windows or none at all, so I had to find something to use. Avatar.com or similar generic website, in the "misc" section and this was the first picture that came up that I liked. And...

Sleeping In - No Use For A Name. Followed now by a cover of Fairytale of New York (very apt for this time of year!)
