Game: Ask the Person Below You

Never! Doing that, or seeing someone do that, it makes my back ache, feeling my own spine bend into similar contortions - ouch! :eek2:

To the person below me: while reading, do you tend to 'dog-ear' your pages, rather than using a bookmark?

Nope, no dog earing for me. I use a book mark - generally whatever is handy.

Same Q:

No.

With hard cover books do you use the paper covering as a bookmark, even when it stretches it?

No to the last two questions. What's wrong with remembering a number?

Same question!

Nope. I use a separate bookmark.

Same ques.

I have to have a bookmark, no dog-earring, no laying the book down open. These things make me upset. I think it's because I grew up very poor, and the few books I did manage to buy, I still have most of them. A book was to be kept in the best condition I could. I fuss at my own children for each time they break book rules. I want them to have my books when I'm gone. They read most of them now. So they take care of them.

If you really want a book, how much are you willing to spend to get it?

I would decline answering precisely how much I have paid, but I would spend a lot if I wanted a book badly enough; and some of those investments in first edition books always look tempting. :D Only if I have the money to spare, of course, I can rationalize quite a pricetag, but probably nothing over several hundred dollars, or $1,000.

To the person below me: I ask this question now and then, but for good purpose - what have you learned recently that has fascinated you or interested you?

I looked a bit at Genetics (cloning mainly) and it interested me quite a lot!

Good question so the same one!

Its raining quite heavily in Mumbai & its flooded everywhere despite the government's precautions. I have learned that no matter what you do nature finds its way.

Same ques.

good question. I recently learned that if one is not careful one can start adopting coworker's attitudes and is slowly becoming part of the problem without realizing what is happening.

I have learned that at least one book (The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) by James Joyce seems slightly readable without doing immense amounts of research, reviewed the functions of the 20 amino acids, learned a few new words ('baskilisk' sticks out in my mind mostly), learned of Emily Dickinson's garden and casual homelife from some random book, learned some good and not-so-good brands of espresso-makers, and found a new soap that makes me smell lovely (has anyone else heard of Lush soaps?).

To the person below me: what classes in school did you usually like and dislike the most?

I disliked Maths class the most because teacher used to give a lot of work to do...

Same Question

hi everyone, i havent been here for such along time coz i was setting my GCSE exams and now i finished scool so i can tell u that i really enjoyed my art lessons coz they were free and fun, i really hated ALL my science lessons coz we had teachers who stood and gave lestures which boered me to death!!!!!!

same Q

I just loooooooved English lectures & HATED Mathematics.

Same ques.

You've probably guessed since I write poetry all the time, that English was my class. Math I didn't do so well in while in high school, but when I went back to school for an Associate's degree after 20 years, I did fine. Still, I hated every minute of it with a passion! :lol:

Do you think classes like Economics should be required for ALL degrees? I was bored out of my skull in that class! :nod:
