    Speed reading help!!!!

    Yeah I think so. It's alright so far; I'm about 80 pages into 2010. Is it worth it to read 3001? You're a Clarke fan I'm guessing. Read a lot of his other stuff?

    Speed reading help!!!!

    Dick as in Philip K. Dick? I try not to race through his stuff...although I find myself not being able to put his books down. But I'm pretty proud of myself because I started and finished 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke all today. :D

    Garfield minus Garfield.

    http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/ So apparently when you remove Garfield from Garfield, the humor takes an entirely different turn.

    Books you've read before you had any knowlege of an upcoming movie based on the book.

    This happened to me for the first time recently. I read Radio Free Albemuth by Philip K. Dick and just recently found out the movie is coming out on June 11th. What books have you read without any prior knowledge of a movie existing?

    Wow. That is an incredibly sweeping generalization. I'd like to see you even start to prove that.

    Karate twice a week and parkour every once in a while. And walking around the college campus if that counts.

    How often do you read?

    Usually an hour or so a day. Unless I have Reading For Pleasure that day; then it's more like 2 or more. It varies.

    I have a stack of X-Men trading cards, and I use a new one for every book. Currently, Deadpool is holding down my page. :)

    First book

    Encyclopedia Brown....that arouses some vague memories...I read some Sweet Valley High when I was younger too. Anyone read The Last Of The Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Andrews? I remember reading that in 5th grade and absolutely loving it.

    the books that changed your life!

    I think it has to be something that isn't forced on you. Like, I can say that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life, and while He also is for my parents, I don't base my faith on my parent's expectations. They've given me the freedom to choose for myself.

    Bill O'Reilly: Culture Warrior

    Anyone read this? I know not everyone is an O'Reilly fan so I'd appreciate it in advance it if ya'll would refrain from the right-wing bashing.

    The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire by Edward Gibbons. It's still a great book. The Works Of Philo by Philo of Alexandria. Got about 30 pages in....yeah. Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. About 100 pages this time!
