In the choice between the ridiculous but quite likely death from tripping on my own feet as I in horror walked to the edge or refusing to accommodate a request from a cute girl, and fueled by not wanting to be a pussy, I went for the compromise of slowly inching towards the edge from a couple of meters away. I must have looked absolutely pathetic. Needless to say, the only expression of gratitude I received was a 'thanks'. But what she probably didn't grasp was that I overcame fear that day. What I did was more courageous than the fearless retards sitting at the edge. I was presented with horror and sort-of won.

Sosso Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I ordered those books and I'm very excited to read them! It's my goal to read as many novels from the Penguin Classics series as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my goal to read as many novels from the Penguin Classics series as possible. Good choices, you can never go wrong with classics. I greatly enjoyed reading Anna Karenina, but it took me awhile to pick it up; for longest I thought it to be a very depressing novel, but it really wasn't. Sort of like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, you go in with preconceived notions and then you end up being pleasantly surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikute91 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Lately I just couldn't get enough of Raymond Chandler detective novels. Very classy, very noir. Highly recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) My dad's getting increasingly opinionated. It's like having Jeremy Clarkson around for tea. I mentioned that I was disillusioned with Labour these days. So he jumped at the chance to lend me this.

Not all heights mind, just unsecured ones, ones where you can see the drop and a push or a stumble would do the job. No one I know actually knows I have this and its a lot less than before, simply by just going to high places and trying my best to deal with it. I'm terrified of flying.

It's weird because I'm okay on little planes I just don't like the big airliners. I mean if you're in a little single engine thing and it starts bouncing around the place it doesn't seem out of place. When the big fuckers start bouncing around it proper shits me up. Even more weird is that I was fine skydiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The Greek statesman Polybius ( c.200–118 BC) wrote his account of the relentless growth of the Roman Empire in order to help his fellow countrymen understand how their world came to be dominated by Rome. Opening with the Punic War in 264 BC, he vividly records the critical stages of Roman expansion: its campaigns throughout the Mediterranean, the temporary setbacks inflicted by Hannibal and the final destruction of Carthage. An active participant of the politics of his time as well as a friend of many prominent Roman citizens, Polybius drew on many eyewitness accounts in writing this cornerstone work of history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Has anyone read Normal People by Sally Rooney? Its a romance which I dont read many of. I think Uncle Moses is the only other romance Ive read (where romance is one of a number of central story lines). But I heard a conversation about Normal People on the radio and Im looking forward to getting a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
