If she's a keeper, she not only won't mind, but she'll appreciate it. Complete sentences are a lost art, after all.
It really comes down to something being a store of value, easily transported, easily measurable, and sufficiently "scarce" enough not to disrupt...

Fantasy is about the only fiction I tend to read anymore. The vast bulk of my reading time is spent in nonfiction.
There's a can of worms waiting to be opened. In all honesty, I sort of groan whenever some expert or another comes out and says we have hit...
I don't have a specific shelf per se (being an anal retentive, my library is arranged by subject), but there are certainly a few books I've...
Ain't that the truth. If you need a more civilized, modern picture just look at how some of the citizens in countries like Greece have handled...
If you take out the swords and sorcery, what's left to talk about? ;)
Speaking of books I'm ready to give up on: The Infernal City. I probably should have known better than to buy a book based purely on the fact...
I went back and found the thread about it. It's too bad, really, because I'd probably be fairly sympathetic to his political viewpoints. But...
I haven't bothered with the Spellplague business. I'm actually a huge fan of the 4th Edition D&D (mostly because it made my life so much easier...

I'll jump onboard the RA Salvatore/Terry Goodkind bash because they were going to be the two authors I was going to mention when I saw the title....
I suppose when we're debating such a broad topic (especially concerning good, evil, and morality in general) that's kind of an inevitability....
Indeed, and this seems to be where the concept of free will had to be introduced in order to make all four "consistent".
You just need to work with mathematics more. :happy: I think is kind of a lazy way to think about it. When we start saying things like "our...
I wouldn't calling having a lot of money evil; it's usually just the means through which it's acquired (which in itself has lots of grey area)--if...
Right, this was sort of what I was getting at. Given certain conditions (and an unfathomable amount of social engineering and computation) we can...
Well, that's a fine point to bring up. Intent *is* pretty important but, as Adam Smith wrote in the Theory of Moral Sentiments, we have to take...
Well even salting meat still requires a drying process and needs special storage (usually in barrels) to preserve it properly, especially if it's...
