Artemis Fowl: Opal Deception by Eoin Colfer The fourth book in the Artemis Fowl series. Note: Underlined, not a link. I've seen the movie A Walk To Remeber, and I really liked it. I heard the book was better (most books are better than the movie, IMO), so I'll have to read it some time (if we're talking about the same thing). | ||

Basically it's a big story with 3 "sub-story" that you see the connection at the end. 1/3 of the book is good because it is a badass man that litterally owns everyone. Really. the rest is crap. | ||

English and German were just becoming widely written due to the printing press when the Bible was translated into those languages. Because so many people read the Bible, they started using its grammar, spellings, etc. English and German would be vastly different without the Bible being translated and published at the time it was. Get a clue before giving a third grade level answer. edit: to actually contribute to this thread. I recommend the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind for anyone that likes fantasy, though there are some graphic scenes and profanity (probably wouldn't put off any TLers ) | ||

I didn't say the bible had no effect on modern english, i said the first copies were not written in english or german, which it wasn't. Furthermore, as you yourself pointed out, it was the invention of the printing press had as much an effect on English as the Bible, as well as the increase of longer distance trading in england/german and throughout europe. Versions of the bible were written in english, as MoltkeWarding took the time out to search the encyclopedia for, but in no way is the King James version of the bible the first, or only bible. Check your encyclopedia for what languages various scriptures and texts of the books of the old testament was written in? | ||

Japanese is extremely easy to learn, particularly if you know another asian language. The phonetics system is very straightforward, and grammatically it is also simple, though it is structured differently from western languages. Edit: to contribute, I read 'The Tipping Point' by Malcolm Gladwell.. Extremely interesting book. | ||

Just not sure if i can read it in 2 weeks, or want to keep it, in which case i'll buy it. All Dan Brown books are very fast reads. You should have no problems finishing it in two weeks. The Da Vinci code took me about a week or so because I was a bit busy, but another book of his, Digital Fortress, only took me a day and a half to finish. My current read is "The Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick. It's supposed to be a book on various situations where a hacker/phreaker (or as he calls it social engineer) can take advantage of your business and how you can close such loopholes. Truthfully, the way the book is written it seems like it is much more focused on him telling you how to scam people than it is how to protect against it. It is a fairly interesting read so far (though I'm only about 1/3 of the way into it.) | ||

In short, the chances of randomly creating the exact phrase is 1: 95^12 . However, the chances might be slightly smaller if we consider the fact that he did not in fact use the shift key to create the phrase "i can't read", in which case we do not have to include upper case / shift-accessed characters. Thus, and in a sense the more probable scenario, the probability of him creating the phrase by pressing 12 random keys on the keyboard is actually 1:48^12 . ps.

Ghostwritten (semi-recently). Both have a similiar style of writing and narrating which I really, really enjoy :O You should really check them both out, I don't really want to spoil either, seeing it all connect is a nice feeling ^^ I'd suggest number9dream (by David Mitchell, also wrote Ghostwritten and cloud atlas the later which I am yet to read) as well, and probably any other book by the author to Dance Dance Dance , Haruki Murakami, haven't read anything but Dance Dance Dance but I hear David Mitchell is likely to have gotten some inspiration from him, and having read Dance Dance Dance, I'm inclined to agree with that notion). ~_~; | ||

A Sword of Truth - Goodkind easy reading, good story and characters imo the Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan hopefully he just ends the damn story already, the quality of the writing has been dropping significantly since book 4...and he's on 11 now Hyperion - forget the author - highly recommended...well written, interesting storyline Dune / Enders game like everyone else If you're into star wars, the 10 book x-wing series is a good place to start. they don't really depend on the other books for continuity, and they're an awesome read. starts with rogue squadron by michael stackpole i believe, goes on from there. really gets you into some of the secondary players in the rebel alliance (wedge antilles, wes jansen, others) | ||
