Think of the thing(1) you're most int(4)erested in and geegle(2) it. (3) Notes: 1) This is the second word that starts with 'th' so far. 2) Geegle is a word I just invented meaning to search google in creative ways with the goal of retrieving the most interesting content. 3) Have a folder called 'internetcopypaste' or something and copy and paste the most interesting parts into text files with the url links. 4) This number is all inside a word and not in chronological order 'n shit. |

"the more you learn, the more hooks you have for new facts to stick onto-- which means you accumulate knowledge at what's colloquially called an exponential rate." |

"Whatever you study, include history-- but social and economic history, not political history. History seems to me so important that it's misleading to treat it as a mere field of study. Another way to describe it is all the data we have so far." |

My dad got this book at the library called "Gun Show Nation," so I started reading that. Unless you're really interested in the obsession with guns in America, don't read it. Already it's a pretty uninteresting and unnecesarily long-winded piece of writing, and I'm only a couple chapters in. |

The Brothers Karamazov - Dostoevski because its written by Dostoevski because i loved Crime and Punishment because it was in Lost because the sci-fi book i was reading previously was meaningless and long, wanted to read something with a bit of depth, something good to get me back into reading again, as i haven't read a whole book for ages. |

Lila by Robert Pirsig. Why? The prequel is one of my favourite books and massively influenced my attitude to work and to a lesser extent, my outlook on life. If this is half as good (so far it is), it'll be superb. ...and I thought this thread would be about the tragically boring city in England, "Reading". |
