Zahrah, question: Are you decently fluent in any other languages (besides English)?
If you are, why not challenge yourself and read a book in that other language.

I'll stop over and pick up the last book he put down... He's been on a presidential kick lately...

I liked Wuthering Heights, too. It's you and I against the world, Zah! I'm sorry but Heathcliff is so evil it's addictive. "I'm gonna *** your family up, and it's gonna be legal! Bwuah ha ha ha ha!"

Which books? I really get put off by reading presidential biographies.
I've had Clinton and Bush II's books sitting on a shelf for years and never once touched them after getting the autographs and getting the hell outta those bookstores.

Why are you listing off all the books they make you read in High School? They're great pieces of classical Literature? I mean hell Don Quixote may be one of the most hilarious reads I've ever had. I actually put it up above The Importance of Being Earnest, which is a hysterical play. I thought the point of suggesting things to read would be suggesting things most Americans have already been required to read... I mean...let's face it... If I know the book there's about a 95% that everyone else does too... Probably that you or the average American did anything more than skim them enough to pass a quiz? Minimal. Not really a complete thought there but I get the idea lol... Well you're giving recomendations to Zah here so are you saying that she didn't take the time but to skim the books and move along? Beyond that, if they read them or not they still know about them and have been given the choice to read and have turned that opportunity down...
Besides that what makes you didn't than a google search in terms of spitting out the same books that are recomended to everyone? lol... Long day, probability*
Why would I have to google.
I'm merely going of the list of books I enjoy.
No need to pop in with your typical snarky *** comments.
I reccomend them because the odds that someone has read every good piece of classical Lit is quite slim. yes they're famous titles and there is a reason for that.
I swear, your snarky comments are getting annoying as *** lately.
Also, not a complete thought.
Smart ***.

Biographies are usually the contemporary route I take. IDK why, but I've really never been a fiction person.
I picked up the first three books of 'Game of Thrones' a while ago, and still haven't made it through the first.

The latest ones have been on Washington, Adams and the two Roosevelts...
Edit: I'm also trying to pick up more on the founding and history of our nation... One thing about these threads has made me realize that when people throw around terms like constitution and what the founding fathers wanted or saw for the country I'd like to be able to respond with more knowledge on the topic...

Go read a book then, Row. I left the scott pilgrim graphic novels at home.
Reading takes so much energy out of me, I can't stay focused that long. Reading doesn't make me feel productive. Play PSP or DS, that's produc...wait a minute...now I'm lost...

Row: Think of it this way, the more languages, the more impressive you'll be when you have it on your resume.
Edit: As of 2010-10-05 14:48:06 CST, Ni reached 10,000 pages.
Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Continuation from: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/2873/ffxiah-linkshell/732/#150486
Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
