I usually try to read one book at a time, however sometimes while I'm walking around B&N I accidentally start different books, so I usually have 3 or 4 books that I read the first 50 pages of.

This movie follows the comic books alot more than the tim burton movies. I really like how they featured so many villians in there.

how about Clockwork Orange?

Here's an ineresting quotation from Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra:

I have no idea whether people that create art are more depressed than the general population. What I was referring to is that depressed artist's work gets noticed more, not that they are in a sense more creative.

I think it is precisely because people with suicidal tendencies are not normal, that they have famous works of art. They have something that stand out from the crowd, something that grabs your attention. Not only that, but people with suicidal tendencies do not focus on the realistic world...

Sorry, I haven't read this book but I really want to read it. Unfortunately, I can't find it at my library. Did you enjoy it?

Yes, well that's a theme in "The Lesson", is that a meaning to a word is only an interpetation from a different person, therefore words are relative to each. To each of us, a word is associated with a feeling or experience, which is different to everyone. Let's say, to one person love might mean...

What is everyone's opinion on this movement? So far I'm browsing over Ionesco's plays like The Bald Soprano and The Lesson. It examines words and language as a whole as restrictive and conformive. It is true that people make many generalizations and axioms, which always have an exception, but...

Yeah, what about books like Waiting For Godot? I don't like books being generalized into particular classes, but that's the way it is.

I always change my position. For a couple pages I'm laying down in bed, then when something gets uncomfortable, I sit up. Then when something gets uncomfortable, I lay down again and so on.

Can you tell us what the writing style of the Polish authors is? Is it close to all other eastern european literature or is it in any way unique?

(Personal details) : - Where are you from? I was born in Bulgaria, between Romania and Turkey. Then when I was 8 years old I moved to live in Russia for one year. Then I moved to New York City, and now live in New Jersey, USA. - How old are you and what is your gender? 18, about to turn 19...

In my opinion, it is one think to try to understand why the killer's motivation, and another thing is to glorify it. Because, some people seem to admire the killer's actions, almost wishing they had done something like that themselves, but being, should I say, not blindly bold enough to commit...

Why would you read something like this? Before, his interests were ignored, and now you care all of a sudden what he reads? I hate the obsession people have with serial killings and school shootings. It brings forth exactly what the perpertrators want, attention. Then the next depressed person...

I don't know. I don't want to expose too much of myself to people that I've never met, but I guess I need to explain myself after saying these harsh statements. I know myself, and as I said earlier, once I get fascinated with something, I forget everything else. Therefore, I am not a...

Yes, that is precisely what i've been thinking lately. Because the thing is, I'm at my senior year in high school. Well, I got accepted into college with a computer science major. However, once I get to college, I am not sure if I could sustain my interest, since I know it is very analytical and...

Well, the thing that I have begun to notice in many so-called "great" people is their intense determination and blind ambition. If you look at Lenin, all he thought about was communism, if you look at Bill Gates, all he did was learn about computers when he was little. If you look at Napolean...

Kookamoor, the personality analysis is somewhat correct. Let me explain my dilemma, however, and I speak from my personal experience and only think that my thoughts are right in my own mind. I am the type of person who becomes obsessed with a subject, almost to the point where I start thinking...

You can't, but you can eliminate a lot of possibilites. It's a matter of how much you know about yourself. If you are interested in one subject, and you feel drawn to it, why know something which doesn't concern you. Yes, but how much stuff can you learn so for every possibility, to know...
