Regardless of your actual reasons or actions, it is likely you were doing drugs while anacardo was reading. [/ QUOTE ] Hmm, considering the time difference, and the fact I didn't have fencing as a way to keep me off the streets,I would say this is entirely true.

Re: Top 20 \"geek\" novels
I took a fencing class in college. My friend and I went while high once. Not very fun.
And just so I get something on-topic in this thread, I've only read 1984 and Brave New World.

[ QUOTE ] Bitchin'. I love Halberstam. I left my second edition copy of The Breaks of the Game at a fencing tournament AUUUUGGGGHHH. Stephen King is of course eminently readable. (I didn't really mean "you" per se by the "gettin' high" comment, just flaming youth in general.) [/ QUOTE ] Fencing tournament? Who are you flaming? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Man, back the [censored] up off me, sucka. I was a black belt. I was an o-lineman. I was a... baritone. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I have had many faces. Fencing rules. Contact sports in which the unathletically-gifted-yet-clever can win rule. I highly recommend it to all you card players out there. I renounce my thread hijack.

12/20. I guess I'm a D- member of the club. [ QUOTE ] I was 14 -15?, who the hell wants to read when they are that age? [/ QUOTE ] I would say I've spent over an hour reading for over 90% of the days that have passed since I was like three years old. While you were gettin' high, I was readin' books. [/ QUOTE ] I also try to read at least a little bit every day and have since a young age. Of course, I still find plenty of time to get high.

This is a dork poll, not a geek poll.

Re: Top 20 \"geek\" novels
Heh. Sup Bro would eat my ass up. We played in perhaps the toughest 4-A district in Texas, yet had linemen you'd see on a 2-A squad. I played at like 5' 11", 190, and was one of the bigger linemen on the team. Our center was 6' and usually around 150 by the end of the season. Not good times.
I SWEAR TO GOD THREAD HIJACK OVER.
