What's the idea here?

Alright! I'll buy it with my amazon card and get at it after Ibrahimovic's autobio.

Thanks, it's comfy here.

I'm not one for Shakespeare. I love the stories and humor, but can't get over the writing and subtle phrasing. Any other recommendations for the more casual high school reader? Doesn't have to be too easy, just not Shakespearean. Sophie's World comes to mind, if you want me to put a pin on reading level.

As for speedreading, I guess I just want to rid myself of that internal voice as I read.

Oh lord, can you imagine? I've been trying to learn speedreading, but this would break me.

Sorry, this comment is private.

I've been wanting to produce edm, chillstep, and ambient. I'm collecting samples from friends in the jazz band, so that's going well. As for who I like, it really depends. I'm a big fan of Tycho, Savant, Blackmill, RL Grime, and Flume when it comes to electronic.

In other genres, Parov Stelar, Goldfish, Brandon Flowers, and Springsteen are welcome any day. I also like listening to albums of bands I've never heard of when I'm bored or at my computer.
