Read more books

[Korrok]

I wouldn't agree, I think that for most people books help with spelling. If they don't then you're not paying enough attention!

 

[Bjornita]

it depends what books you read, i believe. i read......dragonlance, terry pratchett (ahem, but the librarian kicks ass), douglas adams, dragonriders, LOtR (okay, yea, orlando bloom is hot ), and i really can't think of many more. ooh, and animal farm was just the best damn book. really.

however, if you read crap books, i don't know what like....babysitters' club *cough* gay *cough*.......anyway, books like that, or only books you have to read for school, like herm last year's book list was bridge to terebithia, call of the wild, anne frank (and EVERYONE read that *special* page at least 5 times, whether they were in the class or not), and i think that's it. those are all fine and dandy books, with plenty of blood and gore, at least one lead character always died.....but books you read for school you don't like as much as books you read for pleasure. really. i think it's all about freedom of choice. although, maybe for some school really helped them find their favorite genre of literature or something. who knows.

as usual, this is an incomprehensible garble of letters and symbols. hey, at least i'm consistent!

if you want to read a book try "the complete book of swords" by fred saberhagen

this is not light reading (360 words per page 626 pages) but, i think it is one of the best books i have ever read.

not counting playboy (i don't read the articles i just look at the pictures)

Most people, no matter how horribly they type and spell at the same time, get their point across, regardless of how difficult it is to interpret. You shouldn't go around getting pissy because some people can't type as well as you can, so be glad that they are attempting to communicate with you via the Forums, B.Net, or where ever you see these 'can't spell for shit' messages. Try to handle it in a mature manner and not start posting about how worse off people are than you, because those are the people that will adapt and learn to survive while people, such as yourself, that complain too much will not get very far in life(as compared to those who strive to become better at what they do, such as their typing skills).

this has to be the most impressive post on this thread. why do you not just listen to him?

I'm not sure, but it must be a Canadian thing. To me, that is light reading. I had to take college literature class during high school, and every quarter I had to read a book or story twice as big as that, and make a HUGE summary about it. Which would include a detailed list of the main characters and telling them about there character types and situations. You would also have to give a detailed outline describing the plot and how it would all work togethor to give you the conclusion. Not to mention the all popular 600-800 word vocabulary list, that I also recieved along with the project. Then, of course, you got the minor stuff, like listing all the times you noticed foreshadowing and what is was foreshadowing to, and all the times you reached a climax point of the story. Plus all the other dumb stuff you have to do while doing such a project(it gives me a head-ache just to think about it right now(3:40 AM)). Well anyway, if you think about it, 360 words per page is not much at all. In the 6th grade I was writing 500 word essays that took me 5 minutes to write. However, 626 would make it an intermmediate level book. I could pick up a book this big and most likely read it in 4-5 days easily. I don't mean non-stop reading either. I probably read over 3000 words in 30-45 minutes on this forum, and that doesn't include all of the words I would use in a reply post, such as this one. But, enough about books, it's too damn early in the morning for me to be talking about books.

first off, i was guessing at the number of words per page.
i just turned to a random page and counted and its 492 and it wasn't a full page.

It has come to my attention that only people with precission grammar skills are allowed to post on this forum. So, I for one have decided to join the elite forces and post with dignity. LOL

Actually, yes this is still the same person who posted the idotic remarks about sports and the origin of creation. It is just that my intelect on History is not that good.

To the person who posted about school books: I'm not at school, I'm a "grown-up" y'see. And Call of the Wild is still one of my favourite books.

 

[Kamikaze]

some of the books i read in school are still some of my favorites

to kill a mockingbird
fahrenheit 451
the stone angel

 

[Silynt Rage]

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of your favorite books? are those like the only 3 books you've ever read?

 

[fub33]

"Warlock" by Wilbur Smith is cool if you like ancient Egyptian stuff.
Wilbur Smith is a pretty good author; Monsoon is also a good read. Timeline by Michael Chricton is pretty interesting also has to do with ancient times, like knights and kings etc.
Reading books is pretty cool, u don't have to read massive 1000+ pages, but find a good author u like who can make images appear in ur head real clear; almost like watchin a movie.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the best books out there. Of course it is used for low level education, but it is still a great book. While I was going to school, I went to a couple different plays at different schools that where doing a play of the book. However, I think they should be making students reading a book about the Hallocaust, however it spelled. But, one of my favorite books is; A Child Called IT. It is a book written about a child who was abused everyday, from drinking bleach to eating the food in the garage garbage. Very good book.

My fave book is the little-known Hunter's Moon (known as The Foxes of Firstdark in the US) by Garry Kilworth. I have a very wide ranging taste in books.

We reading a book at school about the holocaust and the ghetto's and stuff, its called "Night''. The 1st chapter is boring as hell, but then it starts getting interesting.

 

[Snow_Jennifer]

who gives a crap about how the **** ppl write like just let them write the ****ing way they want

 

[Bjornita]

my favorite book, probably, is animal farm by george orwell. it's a pretty accurate (cynical, perhaps) view of our society, as far as i can tell. "thou shalt not booze, unless thou art a pig, in which case, where beith thine beer?"

 

[SmashBros.Pro]

My favorite book was Brian's Winter, it was a bit short and people said it was like a spin-off from The Hatchet, but I liked it. Its about this kid whos got to survive in the forest after his plane crashes.

i remember that. i don't like outdoorsy books. sci-fi is good, as is fantasy, and mystery, and a good parody can't go wrong. i like almost all fiction, actually. jo=ust not....active books. i don't know why. i'm not particularly active, myself. i mean, gym, crunches, you know, the occasional run, but i don't lift weights or anything. my arms will remain weak forever.......
