Just made a rough calculation based on how many shelves I have covered with books, and I would say at least 2,000 probably closer to 2.5k
We've all heard people talk about some wonderful book they've read, only to be really let down when we come to read it. What book most disappointed you in this respect?
Stanislaw
03-16-2004, 07:43 PM
The communist manifesto, it was rather dry.
Have you ever read a book by the polish author stanislaw lem, and if so which one?
<<< http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/lachen/11.gif Just because it's a literature forum doesn't mean all the questions have to be about books!>>>
No, not really.
Do you skateboard?

Why is it considered inpolite to shake with your left hand?
atiguhya padma

That question was ambiguous and non-specific (maybe). I really wanted to see how people would respond to it, and interpret it
Maybe because most of us are right-handed.

Do you like to garden?
*Answer to subterranean: because there are parts of the world where the left hand was used to wipe the bum (also why it's a terrible thing to lose that particular one as punishment) and so was only polite to shake with the right.
*Re: garlic - it's irresistible. Once had 25 cloves browned in olive oil. Such a yummy, yummy snack. :D

To be wise.
Hardy stopped writing novels, because of the criticism he received for Jude the Obscure, and went on to live for another 20 years or so. Tolstoy stopped writing novels, because he could no longer see the worth of writing fiction. I wish Hardy had continued novel-writing, he had plenty of time ahead of him to do so. Which novelist would you have liked to have seen write at least one more novel?
Somerset Maugham.

What does life mean to you?
imthefoolonthehill
03-19-2004, 03:54 AM
to me, life is a time period. Since I have always thought of time as a dimension in which something exists (if something exists for no time, then it never existed, right???)... then life must be a dimmension. Thats what life means to me... the same as heighth, width, and length.

When was the last time you got in a fight, did you win, and if you havn't been in a fight, why not? (sorry, I guess thats technically more than one question)
6th grade, and no I didn't win. But then it really wasn't much of a fight. She was bigger than me so I was rather scared and I think she knew how much bigger she was and went rather easy on me. We became friends later.
