KridesBrideBritt

Well, at least they have Swedish.

WakeOfAshes

yeah... I started on Spanish and it was really cool before I lost interest

WakeOfAshes

im also interested in latin.

KridesBrideBritt

I have no desire to learn Spanish.

WakeOfAshes

I have no desire to learn Spanish.

my long term goal is to speaking about 12 languages fluently. i doubt I'll get there. I think English and Spanish are probably two of the most useful languages.

KridesBrideBritt

Yes, Spanish is useful, but I just don't like the sound of it. I'd like to learn Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, and maybe Polish.

I think Spanish can sound very sexy when the right person is speaking it

I'll probably go with Spanish, German, French, Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and Russian (in that order).

KridesBrideBritt

The only languages I've had lessons in are French (3 1/2 years) and Italian (2 semesters). I know where to get Finnish lessons in NYC. I might sign up for Hungarian or Russian lessons through school.

I got 2 years of french done also! but I barely remember any of it

KridesBrideBritt

I just mix French and Italian together. It pissed off my Italian prof. :-S

I am still reading the Ender Game saga. Book 3 right now. its sweet \m/

crazy how different the series is after the first one though.

That, and Card's writing skills got much better after Ender's Game. It's a great story, but his writing is subpar compared to all his other books. I actually prefer Ender's Shadow to Ender's Game because it tells almost the same story, only written better.

interesting. Yeah... Ender's Game was really great, but looking back I felt as if it was pretty shallow in only hitting the surface of some really profound ideas. In Speaker for the Dead, and Xenocide... He really goes much deeper and does a fairly decent job of presenting some of mankinds greatest flaws. In general I love the series. Enders Game was successful in getting me to read more of his work.

I really hope I get to live to see space travel.

WakeOfAshes

last year I started reading this for a while... I got maybe 1/3 of the way though-maybe half and then life got too busy and I never came back. This makes me sad. I want to get through this book. It is so fascinating, but I keep putting it on the back burner because of the subject matter and size of the material. I want to read it badly, but I also want to read fun books that don't require as much thinking about the material.

KridesBrideBritt

I gotta pack up my books, so I have to pick 2 or 3 to keep out. Probably go with Clash of Kings and the 3 Inheritance books.

Inheritance is awesome. Can't wait for the final book \m/

I still want a remake of the damn Eragon movie.

KridesBrideBritt

They fucked up that movie so bad. I'm not sure if I trust a remake.

Xeno

The movie only had one redeeming quality, and that was a cute baby Saphira. Everything else put me in a permanent <_>

KridesBrideBritt

Yeah, I saw it opening day. It pissed me off. They got so much shit wrong! Eragon and Murtagh are supposed to look alike! That movie just irks the shit out of me.
