Forum members who'd never opened a book in their whole lives

[hazmatnik]

Who are the members you'd say had never read a book not even by accident?

I'd go for:

* Mortimer

* rajputprincess

* Lie-redo

* Richmondbread

* the OWD flip

I would get grumpy for our guy Mortimer and Laredo (called Lie-redo) i immediately jump for that, even though he is strange guy, for sure.

No, it was just called English class. For those that don't know Holden Caulfield is the main character in The Catcher in the Rye. I'm pretty sure every American teenager has to read The Catcher in the Rye.

I remember a lot of Shakespeare and Arthur Miller. The Great Gatsby, of course, which was so boring. I did not have a spiritual connection to that book. I asked people in class what happened instead of reading it and somehow I managed. I still have no clue what the book is about.

I also never read Arthur Miller. All I know about him is that he married Marilyn Monroe. She converted to Judaism and is hated by some on the other forum I'm on because of that.

I never read The Great Gatsby but I saw the movie on television a few times. It stars Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. Mia Farrow plays a married woman and her former lover, Robert Redford, comes back to her. Her daughter seems to be Robert Redford's child, not her husband's. Mia Farrow's husband is having an affair with the gas station attendant's wife. The attendant's wife dies. The gas attendant thinks his wife was having an affair with Robert Redford so he goes out to kill Robert Redford. He shoots and kills Robert Redford and then shoots and kills himself. I watched the movie because Robert Redford is handsome and it has beautiful scenery.

I have a book shelf on my living room

I believe you. He (Incal) doesnt seem really like a book-worm or intellectual person to me.

I've read around a thousand books, give or take. I'd advise anyone to not focus on books unless they want to be a lawyer or a philosopher or something. The problem with books, is that while you read them, some jacked dude is sexually satisfying your wife.

Dick ?

Incal himself reminds me of the average Paulo Coelho reader.

Dick ?

Rumour has it , that every time planets Mars and Venus meet, Dick sleeps with someone's wife.

In Hungary, we have old prussian school system, it based on huge lexical knowledge. We must learn tons of irrelevant things what you will never use in your life, for example classical music history and such bullshit. I have read tons of classic books from hungarian serious literature, or Romeo and Julia, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Iliada by Homer, Antigone by Sophocles, Divine Comedy by Dante, Decameron by Boccaccio, Tartuffe by Moliere, Faust by Goethe etc

It's Austro-Hungarian school system that is very intellectual and old fashioned and we have it too

Not sure if it comes from Prussia. Maybe (I wouldn't know) it existed in old Prussia too, but modern Germany is nothing like that. They have more modern and easy school system where books are thinner, this is what people who went to school there told me.

Incal reads more than almost any forum member, he just isn't interested to play intellectual. Guy is a pragmatic.

How do you know that? Is he your friend do you talk to him? Did he told you that? How do you know how much most forum members read?

There is a thread where people post what are they reading and Incal is one of most active members there. He is underestimated by everyone just because he likes porn and isn't a conservative nor an elitist.
