![[image loading]](http://www.lwcbooks.com/books/onkilling.jpg) After I'm done with this I'll go back and finish the book I was reading before school started and had lots of free time: ![[image loading]](http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/BOOK/BD001~Brave-New-World-by-Aldous-Huxley-Posters.jpg) On killing seems really interesting, this guy is basically talking about how violence/murder rates have gone up recently, and how the willingness of combatants to fire their weapons in war has gone up recently as well. I suppose later on in the book he'll talk about potential causes of this increase in violence, through media conditioning and other things. It's a pretty interesting read so far (although admittedly I'm only a few pages in.) | ||

They prefer the guys who write with a brain tumor and an abusive father / sexual relationship with their cousin. That way we know they are smart.

![[image loading]](http://www.criticalpages.com/Images/War%20&%20Peace%202.jpg) I doubt I'll finish it. This might seem stupid, but is "Twilight" any good? Everybody I talk to either hates it or loves it T_T Is it horrible like Eragon or semi decent? | ||

When I read it, it took me 6 months to get through. I think I finished 7 other books before I finally finished that book. But when you take it a little at a time, it isn't so bad. | ||

. Unless I'm mistaken, he's a total materialist/physicalist who says that the problem of consciousness is a fictitious problem caused by imprecise language only.
