Blank Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I like to read books, mostly the ones i'm reading now are factual i.e. Javascript / PHP books.The last fiction book i read was one of the Dark Tower books by Stephen King, and i liked the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown too.I'm not fussed what i read really, as long as its good.

Hamburger Pimp Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I imagine that when the leaders of the world's major religions read your cogent, well thought-out views they will all shake their heads sagely, realise that they have been wasting their entire lives, and walk out into the world feeling naked but strangely alive for the first time.Thank you for sharing your great wisdom, Monsta.
