For men, which one do you prefer?

sapphire_b @sapphire_b (231) • Philippines 21 Nov 08

I came from a conservative family, but although I know I am free to do things I like, i just have no guts to make the first move as a girl to win a man. I am open though that some woman are courageous enough to tell their feelings...

failsafe_o5 i'm not the kind of person to make the first move into a relationship, not because i'm a woman but just because that's my personality. but even if i was i don't think i'd appreciate guys who thinks that since he's the guy, he has to make the first move and be...

Reading a book just because it is popular????

abdulhaseeb86 @abdulhaseeb86 (145) • Pakistan 12 Sep 08

I have noticed all these years that most of the people who read a book, read it just because it is famous or popular. For instance, the Harry Potter books , once they became famous then many people read it just because it was the...

failsafe_o5 i think it wouldn't be popular if the people who read it didn't enjoy it. so the people who read books because they're best sellers do have a reason to read just what's in. they don't have the time to sort over stacks of books like regular bookworms looking...

Catcher in the Rye, Is this book redemptive?

lifbrue @lifbrue (108) • United States 4 Sep 07

Slightly. Kind of like Samuel Beckett, the redemption is so small and you have to fight to look hard for it. But when you find it, you feel it. This piece is a classic, no doubt, and many folks have felt just how honestly it was...

failsafe_o5 i don't know if redemptive would be the word i'd use. i read catcher in the rye when i was 15, barely out of high school and thinking i am messing up my life. everyone relates to being aloser or being so down because everything went wrong. i think everyone...

Selling Your Books

walkgal @walkgal (133) • United States 4 Sep 08

Do any of you sell your used books online. I am a reader, and I have 1000's of books. I often sell them back to a used bookstore, but get literally cents for them. I'm just curious if any of you sell your books at ebay, or...

Do you agree with Ayn Rand's Objectivism Philosophy?

nzk786 @nzk786 (453) • India 23 Nov 06

Ayn Rand has projected her Philosophy of Objectivism through her very powerful books like Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead. I believe in this world her philosophy seems to hold water.

failsafe_o5 yes, i believe in objectivism but only up to a point. i believe that man is important and hardwork should get it's due reward but taken to the extreme objectivism turns a blind eye on the value of a person's relation to the world. no man is an island and that...
