Friends........
same question.....
Probably, BBC world.
Same Q.
I could and have gone a whole year without watching it at all! I'd rather read.
:)
With a choice of books before you, would you reach for a mystery, Sci-Fi, Classic, horror, or something else and why?
Classic........maybe because I find them exotic (I have a weakness for the exotic) and also I like the archaic way of writing. I reread Stevenson's Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde for the umpteenth time yesterday; it never fails to thrill me.
Same Q
Typically Sci-Fi, though lately I've been reading a series of Historical Novels.
When you discovered the Literature Network, what were you hoping to find or accomplish and have you succeeded?
:lol:
I came here originally to find some of the works and biography of Virginia Woolf, and succeeded loooooong ago. Nowadays, I only search for good discussions, which I accomplish sometimes. :p
To the person below me: same question (good one!) --

How much time every day do you spend on email?
Maximum two minutes, not more than it.
Do you like to eat Mangoes?
Yes, the're delectable.
If a 16 fluid ounce of Rasberry Iced Tea Snapple cost $1.50 and a 20 fluid ounce of Rasberry Iced Tea Snapple cost $1.75, how much are you going to saving, per fluid ounce, by buying the 20 fluid ounce snapple at $1.75 rather than buying the 16 fluid ounce snapple at $1.50?
edit: this makes the question easier to understand.
6.25 cents per fluid ounce.
Same question. (how's that for lazy?)
6/25 cents per fluid ounce.
That's even lazier. (I didn't check your math, just took your word for it.)
How long will a frog in a little boy's pocket stay alive?
That depends on which pocket it is in.
Same Q.
I agree with Ceaser.
Why do kids find it amusing to flop frogs, snakes, and other undesirables down on their parents at picnics and ask "What's this thing?" :lol:
To annoy them…........(It's Caesar)
Same Q.
I would like to say it merely involves their own curiosity, but . . . well, some children really also enjoy scaring their parents or disgusting them. :lol:
To the person below me: do you consider yourself more a person who reminisces and dwells in the past, or 'leaves the past in the past,' so to speak?
I am primarily the former case, and I know that it does affect the personality and is a hindrance in growing further. So at the same time I also try to move on, that definitely helps me move a little bit, but still I am not able to leave the past in the past, completely.
Same question.
I really depends. Most of the time I just leave things behind and move on...it's rather hard to deeply perturb me, but sometimes smaller things are what stay in my mind.
Do you tend to make the same mistake over again?
OHHH yes I do & everytime I promise myself that I wont repeat the same mistake again. But still I do keep on repeating it.
Same ques.
Sometimes, and sometimes even without noticing immediately (especially that I frequently play chess :D). Often, on a larger scale, I tend to learn quickly from my mistakes, and correct my actions in the future, but I more often make the same mistakes with smaller problems; for example, I very often forget my cell phone at my apartment when going somewhere, and sometimes have to run back, grab my cell phone, and hurry back to where ever, so as not to run late. :rolleyes:
To the person below me: when you realize you have done something wrong (such as in an ethical dilemma), do you usually admit your mistake, ignore it, or quietly and modestly acknowledge it and proceed on with life?
I'd say that in most of the cases I can think of now I quietly and modestly acknowledged it. I'm usually not able to ignore my mistakes and I wouldn't want to. However, I sometimes wish (normally at that period when I'm at the point of proceeding on with life) that I had the courage to admit it loudly, because I somehow think that this might be the way to completely get rid of any unpleasent feeling connected with my mistake.
To the next person who'd like to answer:
If you ever planted a tree, which tree would it be and where would you plant it ?
IF I would plant a tree it would have to be a Neem tree as it has many medical purposes & at a place where everyone would easily access it.
Same ques.
A Sweet Gum, preferably where it would provide shade for the most people. I love the star-shaped leaves. I planted one in my front yard once, but I had to transplant it, and it died.
A good question to pass on.

As with literaturerocks, I would probably choose a willow tree (though not easy to relocate) - a tree representing many fond memories of childhood. They grow very, very slowly, but I would love to continue knowing it would grow for many years after me.
To the person below me: if you had a garden (or already have one ;)), what would you plant first, and/or look forward most to growing?
Roses, without doubt.
What is your favorite flower?
Orchids. My girlfriend loves them, and as for me, I say: "Pfui." :cool:.
Same question!
Roses!!
What is your favorite tree?
hmm..probably willow...i just like the looks of them..that or good climbing trees!:)
to the person below me:
what made you decide on your username on the literature forums?
Hero complex.
Same Q.
I thought that for any person knowing my name would mean that they know atleast something real about me. But I now think I should have kept a different name.
Question:
Any author writing fiction, do you think the story could be completely fictional? Dont you think that no matter how much they try, some reality or experience is bound to appear in that novel? Is it possible to be completely fictional? If No, then why such stories are called fiction?
Ditto.Quote:

I have said before that a person's persona will come out in their work. Does that make it any less fictional? No. It's still fiction because it is writtien about fictional characters or events and places! :nod:
Do you find yourself becoming so involved in a book that you are like a character in it, rather than the reader?
Yes. I have often felt that way.
Do you sometime wish, after reading a book, that you really had been a character in it?
Yeah, usually I imagine myself being the annoying sidekick that dies a horrible dead. :D Somehow a lot of books miss this character, so I think myself into it afterwards.
Same Q. (Blank mind)
Yes at times or most of the times I put myself in the characters situation and think what I would do. While reading I am subconsciously making this comparison between the character and me and see how similar or different we are.
How much time do you usually take to get ready for office or party or just generally?
About ten minutes... Very much depending on what kind of party it is, or what kind of impression I want to make.
What do you think is beautiful?
A good soul...........
you may answer the same question or
Now when you look back on your life, lets say last 7-8 yrs, do you think you have changed? Did you you want to become (personality wise) what you are today? And do you like what you are now?
Yes, I have changed a great deal. At the same time, I was 7 years old 8 years ago so I should hope I have changed! Anyway, I am quite happy with how I am now, even if I struggle with inner things a lot. Personality wise I am where I think I should be and want to be.
Same ques.
I have changed more than I can say, certainly, and never pictured myself in this present state, for better or worse, 7-8 years ago. At that time, I imagined myself in a far different place in life, but have succeeded nonetheless in other endeavors; I have no regrets.
To the person below me: good question, so I pass it along --
