elsewhere I will always prefer reading books that I am able to presently grasp. To feel them with my palms adds to the experience. It's different when I read something from the computer-- somehow, the sacredness of the page gets lost. A history is reduced. However, I...

What do you do after you've read a book?

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 8 May 10

Hey readers! After you've just finished a book, what do you do? Do you write a review? Do you recommend it to your friends or try to find people to discuss the book with you? Or does it all depend on the book? After I've finished...

allyoftherain @allyoftherain (7208) • United States 8 May 10

elsewhere What I don't like about him is that, during essential instances, I need to ask/tell him what to do. Perhaps the problem's also with me-- I expect certain gestures to be automatic when one loves a person. But really, it hurts me when I don't feel the other's...

elsewhere You have to talk to her in a way that will make her realize how she's also at fault. Loving the person deeply should not be equated to doing everything for that person, especially in this case, where her "martyrdom" encourages the man to depend on her. This...

Would you cheat to pass or fail rather than cheat?

arreolabryan @arreolabryan (856) • Philippines 8 May 10

Every student will have this type of situations in there life. I know I cheated a great number of times but I know I learn a lot even when I cheat? So do you cheat?

elsewhere I would rather fail, though I must admit that it is hard for me to accept failure. But I know it will be harder for me to accept failure in such a test of character and integrity. This would only likely put me in a lot of catastrophic instances in the future,...

Is there a perfect relationship?

roscelcruz @roscelcruz (82) 8 May 10

is it okay for a girl to do the first move

Patzi_anele @Patzi_anele (132) • Philippines 8 May 10
