You can learn a lot more from listening than you can from talking Find someone with whom you don't agree in the slightest and ask them to explain themselves at length then take a seat shut your mouth and don't argue back It is physically impossible to listen with your mouth open
Stolen from agus_denz "The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed." 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated. 5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

Mio padre mi ha gentilmente informata di aver finito A Feast for Crows e di volere il libro dopo. L'ho invitato a ripassare in autunno e di pregare molto intensamente che George Raymond Richard scriva qualche pagina. OVVIAMENTE non ha afferrato il concetto e si è messo a sproloquiare sul fatto che fosse impossibile che un libro uscito nel 2005 non avesse avuto un seguito...... Per farlo stare zitto e per risparmiargli la dura realtà gli ho dato The Colour of Magic di Pratchett. Avrei voluto dargli Good Omens ma lo ha ancora in ostaggio quell'imbecille di nexusanimarum
My father just called me. He asked me how was my morning but as soon as I started bitching about my class-mates (who accused me of being arrogant only because I answered all the questions the teacher asked us. I gave them the time to answer but they didn't utter a single word in one hour and half. So the teacher asked me if I could answer and I did. I don't want to waste my money and if they want to why should I care?)he interrupted me abruptedly saying"let's talk about something serious" Then he accused me of giving him the wrong George Martin's book. Me?Wrong about A song of fire and ice saga?
