thanx a lot, i'm gonna go to my school counselor tomorrow, hopefully he'll be there. i hope it's not a chemical imbalance. i really think it's things that happened in my past life, i've always been nervous about everything, but now I see everything falling apart. hopefully i can fight through...

Maybe this has been discussed before, and if it is I'm sorry for starting it up again. For a long time, I've been feeling really depressed and don't really know what to do. I haven't really told my family, which is only my father, how I feel, because I know he'll tell me it's my fault. I've been...

Well, let's see... Name: Hristo Asenov Age: 19 What is your favourite book? Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky Why is it your favourite? In my opinion, it does a wonderful job of portraying the duality of the human condition. I also really like the half-delirium the character is...

Well, the difference between Radiohead and Coldplay is that Radiohead are willing to take risks, whereas Coldplay's music pretty much all sounds the same. However, it works, so why not? It's true that eventually people might get tired of their sound, and then they'll probably start trying...

I really like their music. When I feel angsty or depressed, I usually play their stuff and feel a little better. They play it all the time at B&N too, that's how I heard most of their songs. So what does everyone here think of their new album, X&Y?

South Park Married With Children Seinfeld Reno 911 The Daily Show Mad TV Stella (so dumb, not that funny, but I still like it) MTV's True LIfe MTV's Made WB11's Batman

Well, I am speaking from my own experience, and relating Dostoevsky's works with my own life, and I probably shouldn't have said "thinking nihilistically" but rather losing hope. For instance, if you have read C&P, Raskolnikov does the murder in order to achieve something great, something above...

I liked it. My family had to go through an experience of moving to America also so I had an easy time relating. I won't spoil the end, but it kind of made Upton Sinclair more discretable. The book is better if you don't read the last chapter.

I'm reading the idiot right now, haven't read the double. If you've read C&P, Notes from the Underground, and The Possesed, The Idiot should be really intersesting because it presents the other extreme spectrum of Dostoevsky's philosophy. My opinion, and I'd like to know what others think about...

How about The Color of Water by James McBride? It's about a a woman who was Jewish, came to America when she was little, and ran away from her family. Then she married a black man and bore 12 children who she all got through college by herself. It's written by one of those children and it's a...

I just finished that book in a day. That happens very rarely, but it was an easy read and it was so interesting. I've had a very similar experience, of course not as haunting and serious as Alice's, but I have slipped through the cracks into a shady, drug-ridden world once. Now I'm thinking...

I was the only one that liked it out of my friends. They said the original one was better, which I haven't seen. The oompaloompa songs were pretty bad, but i thought the message at the end about family was very beautiful.

i'm too uncertain of myself and worry all the time about trifles. i really don't like myself sometimes.

So you would need a master's in a college in order to become a librarian? I'm just wondering why it would take so much knowledge for that. I thought it would be something in the type of vocational school or associate's degree. I've thought about teaching, cause I like working with kids and...

Since I have no idea what to do with my life yet, i'm contemplating different career choices I can pursue. Becoming a librarian and reading books all day seems very tempting to me. But I wonder, how much is the pay for a librarian? Is it enough to pay the bills? It seems like a very easy and...

I'm listening to Rage Against - Swing Life Away

I thought The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy was pretty depressing. It makes you examine your life and consider whether you lived life authentically.

I listen to music all the time, when reading, sleeping, thinking. I find that it helps me control my emotions, which is so hard for me. For instance, if I'm feeling really depressed, I'll play Coldplay, if I need to get angry when I'm lifting, for instance, I'll play Tool or At the Drive In...

I always wanted to read this book but couldn't get myself to it. Thanx for reminding me, now I'll probably start it. You people are right that the "dark" and "mysterious" life seems very attractive to well-off people. For about a year and a half, I went to a catholic school, and it was a...

Brave New World is cool. Did anyone read anything else by Aldous Huxley?
