2112Starman

Isn't reading supposed to be something that helps us stretch our intellectual "muscles " once in a while? There is a need for books that are entertaining and those that make you think. I am a book lover so I guess this just makes sense to me.

 

Vocabulary should not be the basis on which we judge books. It is not just the words that either entertain you or make you think.

 

Never forget George Orwell's second rule of writing:

 

Never use a long word where a short one will do.

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. A lengthy read, yes, but it is so fulfilling and powerful. It changed my life many times. If you've ever wanted to read a long philosophical novel, please read this one instead of Atlas Shrugged (is that biased? Yes, it is, but that also serves to express my love for this book).

I read this book about 2 years ago. Needless to say, I loved it- I was blown away when I realized that Rush receieved what was essentially a chapter-long love letter.

I have to go with GeddyRulz. I instinctively selected P/G, but then got thinking more about how dark and unforgiving 2112 is.

 

 

2112 it is.

Well, what do you think the darkest Rush album is? To me, it's a hard tie between 2112 and P/G.

Yay! I got it! THANKS!

Ok, I know I'm a Seeker,

but how do I make colored text?

 

All that happens is that I pick a color, and this is what shows up:

 

 

What do I do after that? Thanks for any help.

Yeah, oh, yeah!

I hate this forum.

Ok, I've made up my mind. I'll just get a Geddy. I love the sound of them, anyways!

 

 

Thanks for the help guys.

Heh, a Rick. That's awesome. Maybe I should save up.......

Ok, so I finally saved up to $1000, what kind of bass should I buy? Please help, I'm stumped!
