# i meant pride and prejudice,

# well being fat myself
I don't think I can complain about that too much

# i can't
read.

/sarcasm

actually i never read literature unless I have to for school like I recently read a rather boring book called To Kill A Mockingbird and have also recently read a lot of games manuals...

# Seconded
It took me ages to colour it in

(tis a good book really)

# I know, Usually when we had to study a book at school
I automatically hated it, but not this book!

# honestly i find it boring
because it's like everything at my school. Anti racsism. In RE we always do fairness and stuff. Humanities is slave labour. PSE is equal oppourtunites and English is all books about fairness in races. Presonally I think it's a plan to try and brainwash us into idealisms...

# at the moment i'm trying to read my chemistry textbook,
but the picture of two scientists in green isolation suits having a foam party with some copper piping on the front page is much better.

# yes
most text books are crap. I don't know why they make them so difficult to read, when a different style would impart the same information and be easier to read
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 31 Dec 2003, 20:42, archived)
# it's pretty good, actually (especially compared to things like my maths textbook),
but i'm not in the mood.

# my quantum mechanics book was exceptional
very well written
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 31 Dec 2003, 20:45, archived)
# heheh
I got a biology textbook Called Living Things. By a guy called Slaughter. So on the spine it says:
'Slaughter Living Things'

I can't remem the work replacing the word things, but you get the idea.

quantum mechanics.

# yep
but I thought we were talking about the writing styles :)

# i always seem to end off going off a tangent
but they are all textbooks of educational purposes

# yes
but that doesn't mean they have to be dull

# but it doesn't mean
they have to be not dull
(moose tequila, Wed 31 Dec 2003, 20:55, archived)
# well obviously
because they mostly are. I just don't think learning needs to be a chore, and people would be more inclined to read their assignments if the books weren't so poorly written
(I helped save b3ta! kitty meow meow, Wed 31 Dec 2003, 20:56, archived)
# i'd imagine though
that the people who know lots about quantum mechanics aren't the sort of people who know lots about writing well.

It'd be every film by Richard Curtis
