Aristotle The Nichomachean Ethics is one helluva hard read. The others you mentioned never really bothered me - maybe because I can easily find some undisturbed time (I'm so grateful I live alone :p) I read Oliver Twist when I was 13, I think, but that's the only Dickens I've ever read...

Exactly, we shall flood them with our gemmy presence :p

A drawing I found somewhere on the net. I think. Could also be that someone sent it to me. It's a woman with feathery wings and dark hair, naked and entwined with a snake. A very cool pic - doesn't take up the entire desktop though, so the rest just has black background.

Being a former telemarketeer I can confirm that it definitely works. We speak to incredible amounts of people and only very few of them actually buys anything, but considering how many calls you can make in an hour the pay can get quite good - even if only 3 % of the people we call buy...

Mff I should read that, I see. I hate when I don't get such references :p *slinks away in shame - feeling stupid*

My nice somewhat posh looking black trousers. Elegant - I use them for concerts and the like. And a dark greenish tank top. Hair tied up in a pony-tail high on my head. And I'm barefoot of course :p true to form. Everyone seems to be wearing sweaters... and here I sit in cold little...

Unlike myself who posted a welcome thread ages ago when I registered and then stopped posting and merely lurked :p Welcome, oh person who goes by my nickname.

*raises eyebrow* Interesting topic for a thread... answer's no. "Oi, leckert, ye wanted a pebble?" *throws pebble at leckert*

I'm a night owl. Which isn't very practical when having to attend classes at university. Thankfully this semester they're no earlier than 10.15 so that's a bit of a life saver. But I much prefer to go to bed between 4 and 6 AM and get up around noon, so my night-owlish tendencies have to be...

Oh yes, black leather..... *drools* As for that spoiler, I generally don't mind spoilers, and that wasn't one at all. It's to be expected and I can easily imagine that it'd lend him this distinguished possibly even more shrewd look :D I may be weird, but sometimes men with greying hair can...

"Men would follow Lyam to their deaths, but the younger brother would use his shrewdness to keep them alive." Spoken by Pug in Magician. And this one. "First, it's always better to be captain than deckhand, which is why I'm a captain and not a deckhand. Second, there's some difference...

Magician by Feist. Enjoyable, but not quite as much as the hype made me expect. Had I been given to believe the general hype about it I would've been gravely disappointed, but as I go to all things enthusiastically recommended with a healthy amount of skepticism I simply observed it wasn't as...

Arutha? Boring? In Magician? No. I may change my views come later books, but right now, Arutha is definitely worth my attentions :p It's Lyam I find boring, and a mite stiff in his honour-code. Blah, nobles. I like Arutha's more shrewd approach to things hehe And as for Hettar being...

I use gmail and am very happy with it. Mostly because my Firewalls block all banner ads except a few, so when people ask me about banner ads I usually go "Huh?" I had a homepage on geocities some time back (long gone now) and one fo my friends asked how I placed the banner ads where I did. I...

*He* told *you* to quiet down? What nerve! I would have landed a fist right in his nose had he dared such behaviour. I hope you made really early mornings just for his benefit. What an arse...

Yep, I've gotten to know Arutha much better now. Laurie and Kasumi have arrived in Krondor by now. Now I just find ti very ironic that the two people termed main characters, Pug and Tomas, I still know very little about. Pug - or Milamber has become so relatively detached that he is now...

Other forums I visit have made experiments with this. If everyone wrote the word gorilla in their posts a banner-ad for adopting a gorilla through a wild-life protection programme came up. Then everyone edited their posts to place the words Dungeons and Dragons and immediately banner-ads fro...

I'll add Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon. It was a book of a type I haven't really read before for real, and it was quite gripping, especially towards the end, where I was almost holding my breath.

Oh yes, lines I want to read again I sometimes mark with a folded corner (yes, yes, I confess - you may execute me now) but appearances and disappearances of characters is at times horribly confusing to keep track of, especially because they, as you say, don't become important till it's too late...

Owh, come on! We can reach an agreement, I'm sure... we could.... share?
