    LMAO, if it weren't for the anti-flaming rules here I'd have placed a much more strongly worded response to that post than you did, but I'm a bit too blunt for this board these days, I think. I approve of your post.

    I play RO and go to uni, I don't have time to do ANYTHING, let alone read a book that isn't related to my course.

    But damn me if I don't want to read The Thirteen and a Half Lives of Captain Blueheart by Walter Moers, shame I can't find it, anywhere.

    Reading helps keep me sane. As sane as I get, anyways.

    My favorites are anything by Stephen R. Donaldson, or Dennis L. McKiernan's Mithgar series, especially The Eye of the Hunter and Silver Wolf, Black Falcon. The latter two contain Cursed Ones, a concept that I truly find fascinating for the thought he's put into it. Most people who write shapeshifters make it too easy, but not McKiernan:

    ...but the Bear was not a Man in the shape of a Bear, but a Bear wild and untameable, a Bear who sometimes had thoughts similar to those of a Man, perhaps even a Man named Urus. The danger always existed that the Man might never again become the Bear, and that the Bear might never again become a Man. The Man, Urus, was aware of this danger. The Bear, however, was not.

    (Paraphrased, of course; I've very recently finished re-reading Eye and Silver Wolf, so I don't exactly have my books on me at the moment)

    *yawn*

    +Do I read books?
    No. I haven't finished reading one whole book in 3 years. :}

    +Do I enjoy reading?
    Yes. I do. But it depends on what I'm reading. If I'm not interested in the storyline I just toss the book aside. But I do read alot on the forum and at school for english lesson.

    Sometimes, a good book and a good cigar are all I need.
