i've genuinely never read a whole book

really need to get into it. sounds sick for like trains n shit

Came in to see if Agent had been reading the graffiti on the walls of a prison cell but was not disappointed


I also just don't understand what went wrong with the world where the above can be true and yet you're still in uni

I never went to uni and get through a lot of books, I'd say I'm intelligent but not academic

I don't get how anybody can get through to the age of like 16 and never had read a full book. Usually thick people though.

well...don't forget some people don't learn to read when younger and it's harder to learn as you get older

I had my first ever driving lesson the other day and it was terrifying

I know quite a few people who I know can read perfectly well but seem to gloat about "never having read a book"
I don't think it's something to be proud of at all.

yeah the whole "what are ya readin for" mentality

It's an amazing show...the writing can be a bit well...right wing at times even though the main character is intelligent (mind you i am a lunatic and get annoyed when anyone even says terrorists attack america)

but yeah they must have looked into it so so much to get it right

Nice, if its based on his work I'll add this book to my list. Stupid yanks cancelling another fantastic show, did they not learn from Arrested Development? The prison episode is up there as one of my favourite episodes of TV. Glad I watched it hungover and slightly brain dead because I didn't even try guess the twist, normally if I do it ruins my opinion of the film/episode.

Whats that book like?

I really like it, it talks about the main emotions and the psychology behind them then shows you how to recognize them in other people through observing small facial movements. It has lots of photos of what to look for, some are very subtle and takes a lot of practice to see them in other people but as with standard body language once you start reading and understanding it you realise how full of shit most people are lol. Even if you don't wanna start 'reading' people it's still a very interesting book. It also has a little test at the end to see how adept you are at reading people's emotions. Overall i would recommend it especially if you liked lie to me.

Yeah definitely sounds like something I'd enjoy reading. I wouldn't go as far as trying to read people it's more curiousity than anything haha.

Bill Bryson - A short history of nearly everything.

Only just started it but brilliant so far

^That's genuinely one of my favourite books
He's also written one called "At Home" which is about the history of various ordinary things, like tables and chairs and salt and pepper and beds and lamps and stuff. It sounds really boring but its actually so, so interesting

Yeahh the bill bryson is great stuff

Im on dat classic vibe, notes from underground by dosteyovesky

You lot read some very interesting sounding stuff, it's gonna take me ages to get round to all of the ones that have caught my eye these last few pages!
