Gogol was very good, but my edition was in two parts and only had the first one so I have to look for that...
I still started another read anyway with Stendhal's "Red & Black". Love the character developement so far.

Yes, I did read 1984 and loved it. I believe he was closer to our reality in terms of the structure of control being more ideological and held together by fear and ignorance. As for the values and the social conditionning, Huxley foresaw how proper conditionning to position oneself precisely in the ...

I see what you mean Saito. I don't think this is about morals and the fact that I think it shouldn't be accepted has nothing to do with discrimination towards athletes or people with a handicap. There are strict regulations on the gear runners are allowed to put on. There are also strict regulations...

Ideally, we should all simply try to understand what the author meant as the author is heavily intent on portraying something specific more often than not. Or else the author is simply trying to raise questions, in which case there is no meaning to be found other than the questioning itself. In real...

It is silent. But everytime I come and check up on the board, someone else is also there. Personally, I'm just not really excited about anything so I haven't got much to say. Besides, I have no life from August to November. Football eats up all my evenings and weekends. Gotta eat, naw mean? And I'm ...

I was going to buy Mass Effect with trade-ins, but my roommate wanted Assassin's Creed. At that time, it had just come out and enjoyed a lot of hype. It's hadn't fallen to the test of time yet. I shouldn't have yielded... It's been a long time now and I still haven't really played AC yet, nor will I...

I really feel you are completely off. Wether it does give him an advantage or not is not the point. He simply is not competing on an equal basis with the others. He is not practicing the same movement or developing the same muscles as other sprinters. He is not submitted to the same laws of biomecha...
