Perhaps I am! Let me see if I can jump off the roof and fly... brb.
[QUOTE=Mizzy;24875365]Don't forget "Brave New World", "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" and "Fahrenheit 451".

Is it good?
Of course by good I mean is it severely damaging to my brain.

If you like tired oil allegories.
I just realized the sudden influx of cheesy vampire books.
Rate me clocks.

Yeah it put me off reading books for a while, and I love books. God it's absolutely fucking shit.

I disagree with you, but you are probably a nice person.
Also I read so many books that if this mental influence is as strong as they say it is than my identity and personality were compromised entirely long ago.
I'm pretty sure you died from it a while ago. The only reason you're still around is because you died while Oceania was at war with Eastasia, and Oceania was never at war with Eastasia since Eastasia are really their allies waging war on Eurasia and always were

Books can change a persons life by extreme amounts- stop being such an ignoramus.
Maybe this is why i changed some behavior after some time with HellMOO..
Good thing im not into dracula shit.. Im more the H P Lovecraft / Science fiction type person..
I read twilight, and now I have a [del]ir[/del]rational desire to hold a book burning.
Well fuck, it looks like they're right.
> fox news
move along people
Fox news... Making sense!? :psyduck:
I like sad books, I think positive books are boring, there is too many of them, unrealistic and unimaginative.

Or read 30 Days of Night.
Would reading the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy make you grow a new head and another arm?
I KNEW IT! nvm it's a fox news article. nothing to take to serious.

I read 1984 when I was 13 and I'm fine

Yeah just look at the bible.
Kidding, though. But yeah I agree with you.
hey I like twilight but I'm no twi-tard. I read all 4 then moved along and chicks dig it when you know the story to it and they go all "he so sensitive" then all kiss goo goo
I just read Dune a couple weeks ago.
I'm currently crafting a stillsuit and crysknife, but other than that nothing new.

They shouldn't read it because it's lame and overrated and Brave New World is better.
"no books, only watch TV, specifically Fox"

Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. The Fountainhead. Let's just forget all the sci-fi masterpieces. Oh, and Discworld, I guess.
I read Meminist Fanifesto, it bamagded my drain.
Wow, thats horrible. Seriously, there are better books than twilight that follow the same theme (love.) Twilight isn't the ONLY thing in the world. Of course to kids these days it may as well be. What the fuck happened to my awesome childhood where everybody knew what was awesome and what wasn't?
