Quote by joemighty16
You can never be too proud of too much knowledge - people tend to become intimidated if you know than they do. But that's no reason to stop gathering info. Because with all honesty, knowledge does equal, power


Why not be proud of yourself for knowing lot?! :o Being, inwardly or extrovertly, proud is very different with bousting about your high knowledge in something. I haven't encountered with people who became initimidated by high knowledge of someone else! Why would people become intimidated? I personally don't agree with that. A person with high knowledge draws my respect toward them and makes me want to know more. Knowledge is power, I agree; but power does not intimidate people.

- You''l be amazed at the amount of respect you'll get - ever thought you'll be able to intimidate university professors? I have - quite by accident, but while they specialised in their own fields, I could bombard them ith other types of info - was quite fun :)


That I've encountered with my class! Lols* It's quite funny! :D

fantasy... and some finnish writers, like Sofi Oksanen

I used to be a huge bookworm. Recently, I regained my passion to read again! I love books. Any genre is fine as long as it keeps me going and going~! :D Okay maybe not Sci-fi (Someone want to give a recommendation? XD) I also read magazines. I read Seventeen (Yeap I have a subscription) Newtype USA ( I kind of stopped because of the prices =T) and Megami ( well.. I dont know kanji but I like the pics

To: babyblueshakira You should read "Out" by Natsuo Kirino! It's a murder mystery, but it's a really good one. You'll never want to put the book down like me :D !

Rhapsody, Dragonlance and His Dark Materials Trilogy FTW

I read a lot of fantasy books of writers like Laura Gallego, J.K Rowling..and also read music magazines like Rock zone :)

these ae the different authors I like:
-Borges
-Pizarnik

-Fredric Brown
-Marco Denevi
-Cortázar

-a lot more

George Orwell
J.D. Salinger
William Shakespeare

Bill Mahear

don't read a lot, but when I do it's mostly herbal medicine and art books

I dont like to read unless its something on the computer

I like reading but it depends on the book genre as well.
Last thing i read was The Digital Fortress by Dan Brown and I'm currently reading The Devil Wears Prada.

I like reading novels: mystery, romance, some horror and a few in other genre.

I also like reading some comics.

I don't really read magazine.

Of course MANGA! That`s what I strike for. After 10s-years war against my parents now finally I gain the right and freedom to read it at will. The fruit of war is important...

Yet history books are also my favorates. But few English books can I afford, cause they are so expensive... Any book will easily cost my more-than-a-month fee for food... So in fact, I am really pro for the RMB to rise... Euro and USD and UKP are suckingly expensive...

And if time is permitted, I will read some books of Warhammer. And now some of its fans are working for translating its materials into Chinese for free, to increase its influence in China mainland. But again the books prices are so high to kill us, forcing us to share within our groups. Well the RMB will rise, the RMB will rise, the RMB will rise............. >_<

The Analects of Confucius, The Art of War, Romance of the Three Kingdoms.. pretty much Chinese novels and the like. I really love Philosophy too.

i read fantasy books
mostly about vampires, like Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse [the book that i cannot wait to come out

i also like fiction. if its teen romance its fine with me :)

i also read manga [well no duh :D]
