See it is not arrogance. This is a debate, if you are going to reply it is just fair that you consider my argument as I am considering yours. Just courtesy. I am not surprised though, I am still to find a religious person who can argue this line of thought without getting personal or appealing...

I am sorry, I don't mean to be belligerent but that is such a fallacy! You are mixing apples and ... bricks... Friendship, love and humanity have nothing to do with god. These things just are, it is not a question of seeing or believing. It is like saying I don't believe in Santa Claus but I...

I agree Sybarite, if it is just a question of comfort why stop with god? :D I think if there is a god, in the religious sense, the omniscient, omnipotent one; one that interferes and listens to prayers and etc, then IT must be stone cold mad and this life we live is a ridiculous waste of time...

I think I got our house on the "Do-not-knock" list when a couple of JW (or maybe they were mormons?) came to my door and the first question was something like: "Do you know the word of the Lord" and I just plain said "Yes. I have read and heard it but I don't believe in anything". They were so...

Wow.... no one interested in Peter Hamilton!? :eek: :confused: Well... anyway, I finished "The Dreaming Void" and really enjoyed it. It helps if you have read "The Pandora Star" and "Judas Unchained" as this book is basically a quasi-continuation of that story and some of the main characters...

Hi! I love vampires so I have tried everything there is out there, some of it is pretty bad so when I find something I like I am very happy. :o I liked the Anita Blake series in the beginning, though after the 5th or 6th book it just became soft (or not so soft) porn. Still, worth a try...

Peter F. Hamilton - The Dreaming Void, part one of "The Void" trilogy Just found this book on the store today! :D :D I didn't even know he had another trilogy coming! I love all his books, "The Nights Down" trilogy is just about my favorite sci-fi ever so I can't wait to read this one.

Hello all Am I the only person that did not like POTE? I thought it was very mediocre and had an overall feel of "thrown together". I love really big books and "epics" and was excited about this one because of everything I heard about it. Well, to say I was disappointed is to put it mildly...

This is so weird :confused: Human/Political and Physical Geography are two compulsory disciplines where I come from. You start it in 2nd grade and only stop studying it when you go to college (unless your major is related).

Thanks for the tip! I love it! Even my husband is hooked now :rolleyes: :D

I saw this book at Costco yesterday for $15 but decided not to buy it... I was in a hurry, maybe I should have... :rolleyes: I am loving Neuromancer.

Philippa Gregory is a good writer in this genre. I love the Tudor era so I really enjoyed "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "The Constant Princess", these happen a bit earlier than what you said you like and they are about "nobles" but I know she has other books. Worth a look I guess. Anya Seton is...

I don't know what board games you are thinking of, but some of the ones we play require you to dance, mime, write, etc... :rolleyes: Monopoly is just about the most boring game in the world, if this is the only one you can think of you don't know what you are missing. This has nothing to do...

Battle of the Sexes is a funny game of Q & A. You can choose to play as a team Girls against Boys or play individually. Either way it is fun but I prefer the teams version. The questions test what each sex knows about the opposite. For example it will ask from the boys "How long are capri...

We usually play "Battle of the Sexes" when we have 2 or 3 couples over for dinner. After everybody has had a glass of wine it is more fun than one would expect! :D

Brasil is a 3rd world country so I guess one cannot expect much from its heath system but we do have one in place and it works up to a point. Everybody that works pay a tax specific for heath care. I don't remember the percentage but it is nothing terrible. If you want (and can afford it) you...

Happy to hear you and your family are OK. I come from a land without hurricanes, earthquakes or active volcanoes... There are 2 live volcanoes and supposedly a huge deep fault right here where I live so now these things scare me so much! :eek: I guess I am luck we don't have hurricanes or...

Well... you cant think like that... it is like feeling overwhelmed because there are so many beautiful places in the world and you are not going to get to see them all. There is no point. What you have to do is enjoy each one as much as you can. Reading is supposed to be a pleasure not a race...

What about sitting in the bathroom reading moisturizer, shampoo and conditioner labels because you forgot to bring a book?! :eek: Or trying to read while you brush your teeth and getting water all over your book? :o I am sick... :D :D

Hi, I am Andreza and I am a printaholic too! It all started on my 4th birthday when one of my aunties gave me a book as a gift, it was a book that basically teaches to read and write, the sounds, the letters and syllables, etc. I don't know how you call a book like that in English, in...
