Stand in front of a semi, and read a book.......the winner will prevail :)

The one thread I was kind of hoping would not turn into spam. :rolleyes:

On a side note, I can't stand Bobby Fischer :-P I was actually rooting for Spassky in Bobby Fishcer Goes to War ;)

Wait, I know this one.......the virgin gives birth at the end right? :D

Heh, sorry, all clear :)

Ya, turn the other cheek origionally meant something different from what we take it to mean now anyway. In any case, I had forgotten about this post. I'm not sure that I was really judging entertainment value....I like philosophy so my idea of entertainment is obviously twisted ;) Besides...

Sweet, more people :D Halycon has already pm'ed me , so if you'd like to play sometime too Cajun, send me a PM .

That's funny I'm proud for the very same reason. ;) Book Pile Don Quixote - Cervantes Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (re-read) Treatise of Human Nature- David Hume The God of Small Things - Arundati Roy Pale Fire - Vladomir Nabokov Love in the Time of Cholera - Marquez The...

Read War and Peace, just about everyone dies. ;)

I like alot of the movies you listed, particularly Donnie Darko and Pi. Aronofsky is one of my favorite directors, and can't wait for him to make more movies. Oystein gave some good recommendations, although some of the latter ones seem a daunting task for someone getting into reading. I...

Liked the ideas, didn't care for the acting though.

In that case, we should turn to our current leader for guidance. :rolleyes:

hmm.....I"m going to go ahead and second the recommendation for Borges for his ability to trick the reader. He successfully forces you into a confused state of thought if you try to understand him literally. I enjoy that he couldn't care less about plot and characters, yet manages to keep your...

The Defence by Vladamir Nabokov......

Do they spell things differently in the fantasy world? :D

The Brothers Karamazov, I would say is a must read for everyone. However, if you specifically like Dostoyevsky, Raskalnikov is probably my favorite character in all of literature, so I would also highly recommend Crime and Punishment. I would recommend both of these first, and then The Idiot...

The font is different sizes, as well as the spacing.......
