Reading is easily one of my favorite things to do, rain or shine! I hope to live to be 80 so I can read as many books as possible.

I used to read a book a week when I was younger. Now I can barely read magazine articles. Whenever I pick up a book I can read a whole page on autopilot while thinking about something else and when I hit the bottom of the page I can't remember a single thing that I just read.

I just blank the fuck out while my eyes are following all the words.

ADHD sucks. :crankey:




lol, yeah that happens.

anyways i love reading books more than any other media, movies just feed images into your head and don't get very in depth most of the time. books however exercise your imagination. most of the time when i'm reading i'm not really reading the words but transforming the words into images.

YOu need to read a book on how to concentrate.  :smirk:




My mom got me a few self help books on ADHD and I couldn't get past the first chapter. :shrug:

Oddly enough i can read stuff on the computer like Wikipedia articles and all sorts of other shit just fine. But when I pick up a book I have a HARD time.
The last book I read was Jurassic Park and I had to be so thwacked out on Amphetamines that I was actually getting scared and slightly hallucinating whenever I got to a suspenseful part.

Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

so someone made fun of you for reading because they want fame and status? That doesn't make sense.



That complete abortion of an illogical statement is exactly what I'm talking about. Things like intelligence, self reliance, and creativity are not valued the way they once were. MOST people dont grow up talking about being engineers, doctors, and scientists any more. They want to be rappers, and actors.

For anyone to be looked down on for reading is a disgusting thing. I feel like an old man when I see younger kids being picked on for doing well in school, its ridiculous.

I'm really sorry if you dont get the point I'm trying to make. I dont mean to come across as arrogant, and I certainly dont mean to insinuate that you are like the people I'm talking about. I would suggest that you, and everyone else for that matter go spend a considerable amount of time in another country away from the tourism centers, and really get to know the people, and the way they view life. I didnt even get it until I did.

My friends also have stopped learning, or it seems that way.

yes...its really not all that cool to make fun of someone for reading, but to say its because you are in the United States makes you just sound like an idiot. That person is just an ass hole, because people are ass holes. Regardless of what country they live in.

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley

I read enough at my job.

I don't have the time for novels, magazines and shorter essays suit me better.

It only sounds ridiculous until you get out and travel. You would really be surprised how different the rest of the world is compared to the united states.:shrug: I know I was. I may be an idiot though....I do spend an obscene amount of time on the shroomery, that cant be a good sign.
