I'm currently reading "Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray. I'm almost done with it actually. I think I'm going to reread Les Misérables again after this.

Jane Austen in Scarsdale, it's the modern day version of Persuasion. I have about 30 pages left and can't finish it. My interest has died, but I never start a book without finishing another.

It's nice to see someone debating and explaining their beliefs rather than saying their imaginary friend is better just because. When I think of the majority of Christianity I think of a child asking their parent why something is or how it works and the parent - not knowing the answer - responding it just is just to get the child to leave them alone.

lol sorry I don't mean to offend, I'm just surprised someone is open minded about it. I'll defiantly have to buy this book : ) It sounds intriguing.

Remember if you can't explain or debate your beliefs, they are not yours.

I am reading This Book Contains Graphic Language Comics As Literature by Rocco Versaci. Rocco Versaci teaches the Comics As Literature course at Palomar College. It has been interesting so far. He has covered George Herriman, Daniel Clowes, and Los Brothers Hernandez so far.

lol... actually the theory of the book applied here would be to have volunteer moderators and exploit them to do the work for you... err... I mean have them do it for their love the of the community without having central moderation

Reading about twenty different counselling textbooks, which interestingly would also help with the discussions.....

Sounds like nonsense. That's the approach we have taken in the BC Discussions and it leads to chaos.

Secret Life of Bees and The Diary of Vaslav Nijinsky. The latter iss interesting and horrible at the same time. He was schizophrenic, and just totally bat poo crazy, so some of the stuff he wrote was really random, illogical, and just plain strange.
