Who probably reads reads more books than you can imagine. Where is today's youth's imagination? Its only what they see on a PS2 or a DVD. Give me a good book over a poorly adapted screenplay ANYDAY!

I don't think they're for everyone. I can only read very short stories, magazines, or newspapers. I consider myself to have very good writing skills (not demonstrated here) and a good vocabulary. But I just can't read a novel. I can't keep up with more than 2 characters, I can't stand reading anything for more than 30 minutes, and by the time I get to the end of a book I forgot what happened in the middle.



My brother is a total book worm, he reads everything. Yet he plays hours of video games as well, waaaay more than I do.

well according to "the man" the imagination is when they imagine the games are real and recreate the stunts.



anyway, i read books and feel i have better then average writing and reading skills, i dont always demonstrate the writing skills here but thats because im only here to have a good time not be grammatically and politically correct, ya know?



anyway, if we all did what they used to do id still be churning butter and ****.



oh and yes i am a "youth" and i know how to earn what i get as well, hell i farm for gods sake.

Nobody has read one of the greatest Paradies ever published?



"Bored of the Rings"



http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...46&category=273

Concerning Boggies



This book is predominantly concerned with making money, and from its pages a reader may learn much about the literary integrity of the authors. Of boggies, however, he will discover next to nothing, since anyone in possession of a mere moiety of their marbles will readily concede that such creatures could only exist in the minds of children of the sort whose childhoods are spent in wicker baskets and who grow up to be muggers, dog thieves and insurance salesmen. Nonetheless, judging from the sales of Prof Tolkien's interesting books, this is a rather sizable group, sporting the kind of scortchmarks on their pockets that only the spontaneous combustion of heavy wads of crumpled money can produce. For such readers we have collected here a few bits of racial slander concerning boggies, culled by placing Prof Tolkien's books on the floor in a neat pile and going over them countless times in a series of skips and short hops. For them we also include a brief-description of the soon-to-be-published-if-this-incredibly-dog-sells account of ***** Bugger's earlier adventures, called by him, TRAVELS WITH GODDAM IN SEARCH OF LOWER MIDDLE EARTH, but wisely renamed by the publisher VALLEY OF THE TROLLS



and it gets better and better, holding back nothing, So join *****, Frito, Goodgulf, Arrowroot, Spam, Legolam, Gimlet son of Groin, Moxie and Pepsi, and all the rest as they travel over the Paper Mache Mountains in their quest of defeating the evil Serutan. Truly dimented, some scenes sexually suggestive.
