Yes, you invented the phrase 'Oh Snap' in the same way I invented the sheep.

Yeah

No, no, no.

Reread....Harry Potter....last book.....I'm confused.

Yes. You are reading it for school.

Yes. It's a little creepy.

Does that answer your questions?

Umm! Okay I think?

Love this. You bastard XD

OANST is going to love me because I was out shopping today and picked up The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula Le Guin.

OANST · #**637** 01-22-2010, 09:59 AM

You glorious bastard, you. I hope you love it, and I'm pretty sure that you will.

There are more than four books, by the way. There are actually six. What you bought probably left out Tales From Earthsea (which is a book of short novels, some of them being very important to the overall narrative), and The Other Wind.

Wings of Fire · #**638** 01-22-2010, 10:06 AM

There was only three books by here there, the two others were a hardback edition book (So recently new I guess) and a rather big paperback edition that I can remember was a fortieth anniversary.

Death Note Another Note:The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.

I've only read the prologue so far, and I doubt it'll be as good as the manga.

I'm reading The Origins of the Kabbalah by Dr. Gerschom Scholem. Informative, but infernally difficult to read.

I'm reading something like that. Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. No really, it's real. Google it.

I meant that it was simply written in a complicated style that is difficult to follow. I wasn't speaking of its actual content.

I bought that for my brother this Christmas. There's also ninjas.

I've wanted to read that for ages, but I figured it would be better to read the original first. Is it any good?

Have you seen the similar book: Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters?

Am I the only person sick of Zombies being such a huge part of young adult counter culture?

Rex Tirano · #**648** 01-24-2010, 10:22 PM

I'm sick of vampires who sparkle.

Strike Witch · #**649** 01-24-2010, 11:34 PM

I'm sick of the undead period.

***Nate*** · #**650** 01-24-2010, 11:36 PM

Is that where, once a month, your vagina roams the earth sucking blood instead of the opposite?

Strike Witch · #**651** 01-25-2010, 01:23 AM

I'm sure there's a Scifi original movie about that.

Excuse me, I meant ScyFy.

Zombies embody many human fears in a way few other things do.

Fear of disease.
Fear of betrayal.
Fear of severe injury.
Fear of being eaten.
Fear of decay.
Fear of death.
Fear of insanity.
Fear of social collapse.

Zombies enable people to deal with their anxiety over the end of civilisation.

Wings of Fire · #**654** 01-25-2010, 02:31 AM

You know as well as I do that this fad is only because zombies are 'cool'.

Taco · #**655** 01-25-2010, 03:55 AM

Zombies are just popular things to use in flims and games nowadays. There's really nothing to fear anymore.

MeechMunchie · #**656** 01-25-2010, 08:04 AM

Apart from ourselves and our fellow man.

OddjobAbe · #**657** 01-25-2010, 09:29 AM

And disease, betrayal, severe injury, being eaten, decay, death, insanity, and social collapse.

I just read a story that my nephew wrote in his second year at his old school. It was about a rabbit who fell on a barnacle and got killed on another barnacle. It was actually reasonably enjoyable.

Advise him to make a barnacle the hero of his next story. Kids these days write too few stories about barnacles.

OddjobAbe · #**659** 01-25-2010, 11:29 AM

I'll have him write the same story but from the barnacle's point of view. I'd be interested to see how well I could sympathise with a barnacle.

They have enormous penises, if that helps.
