After inspiration from a previous thread, what are some good books to get a chick into reading if she'd rather watch soaps on Netflix?
How do we get our partners started?

I got 2 of my 3 girlfriends into reading by giving them books with prominent female characters or leads. I used the same 3 books each time. Never let me go by kazuo ishiguro, the virgin suicides by Jeffrey hardtospelllastname and vurt by Jeff noon. Vurt is some pleb sci fi shit but it's really easy to read.

Don't make her if she does not want to. Why did you marry her if you don't like or at least accepted the crap she likes? I would not mind if she doesn't like the same stuff I do at the end I did not get married with her because of that, maybe I did because I love her enough to her and not her characteristics. Get a grip.

science fiction with fantasy isn't science fiction with fantasy. it's just fantasy.

I'm well convinced by philosophical arguments that there is a God. But I'm currently undergoing RCIA and there is an agnostic among us who asked the question in the subject line. My response was something along the line of "Well, if we agree to say that God is the greatest good, then we have to think of what sorts of things he would do. It seems like the Christian God is the only God in history who was so good that he was willing to die for mankind and absorb all the evils we commit into himself."
He then responded by saying "If he is an omnipotent God then it is meaningless for him to sacrafice himself. He could do it a hundred times and it wouldn't be anything to him. So his sacrafice wasn't even really a sacrafice. Especially since he knew he wouldn't die and that he would instead be resurrected."
I then thought later that a good response to this might have been to consider a case where I was starving and without food. A man with an infinite supply of food comes along and looks down on me. He takes pity, and tells me he will supply me with a lifetime supply of food. Now, there are two ways to think about my benefactor. One is to praise him and be thankful, which is the Christian way. The other is to be thankless and to say that his act of charity was meaningless since it came at no cost to him.
But then I feel uncomfortable saying that deliverance from my sins came at little to no cost to Christ, since we do consider what he did as an act of sacrafice.
What do you think?

Maybe. But was that inevitable or is there something more I could have said?

What makes it something to him is that in his incarnation, he was both fully God and fully human. Meaning he experienced suffering in his death. He purposefully placed the limitations of humanity on himself so that he could be both with us and for us.

Philip Glass.
>>
>>10020736
that's pretty funny. I was just reading this inter view where Gaddis said this:
You talk here about repetition: are you interested in Minimal Music like Philip Glasses?
Gaddis: No. I’d rather always listen to what I have been for the last fifty years. Bach or Mozart.
And Wagner?
Gaddis: He’s too theatrical for me.
But you were able to put him to good use in J R …
Gaddis: Yes, but it was only from the libretto, from the story, and not the music as such. No, Wagner for me is a bit too overwhelming, too romantic, too Freudian, if you like. Screaming and orgiastic climactic flights …

I have a theory that everyone on this board related to Tobias the most, which is why they ended up here.

I remember when Rachel put some food for him in a Tupperware container. He was not human anymore, but she loved him. Tobias was outside of us all, but still watching and protecting.

Any good Gothic nouvelles, poetry, short stories, whatever? No Anne Rice or stuff like that. Mainly Poe and Victorian-like stuff.
(Comic books, graphic nouvelles, manga, aldso very well welcomed)
Thanks.

I'm wanting to spend this year getting as proficient as possible with grammar. Excluding Elements of Style, what are couple more good books (or any other means for that matter) for forming a good understanding of the English language?

There's the S&W Elements of Editing as well which is more grammar intensive. But I'd suggest seriously studying a foreign language. I never learned as much about my own language as when studying another.

Rampaging Fuckers of Everything on the Crazy Shitting Planet of the Vomit Atmosphere

CRAZY SHITTING PLANET: A touching parable of love, friendship, and feces.
>"Uh, yeah. Got that," Billy retorted. He ripped down the flyer I'd just put up and studied it with narrowed eyes. "But what the hell is a manga club?" he asked, pronouncing it "mahn-jah." "Does that mean 'vampire' in Swahili or something?"
>"Funny, no. It doesn't. But I wouldn't expect your pea brain to know any Japanese, so don't feel too bad." I was impressing myself with my witty comebacks. Who knew I had it in me?
>"Ooh, you're so smart, Freak Girl. I wish I could be a nerd like you and start a mahn-jah club at school."
>"It's manga," I corrected. "Hard 'g.'"
What did he mean by this?

That's where meditation comes to play. Meditating for even an hour a day can help you become better in introspection and self-analyzing.
