Same question?
Quite a few things over the years, but one that always sticks out was my first encounter with the giant Redwoods. Just freaking awesome.
Do you think only certain people appreciate nature, or it is just that we all appreciate it in different ways?
I think quite a few appreciate nature but somehow forget about it in their daily struggles of life. I wish more did it though.
Atleast in poorer countries where for most, enjoying nature has a lower priority than putting food on the table and putting a table in the house ..and so on.
Do you still read newspapers? Do they have a future where you are - I think many papers are losing the battle to online in the West atleast.
I always read the newspaper in the morning, along with a cup or two of coffee (which I'm doing right now). While papers are not as healthy as they were before digital became more of the norm, the good ones will still be around for a while.
Do you like to read books and how often do you read them?
I don't read much, and when I do it's usually a fiction novel. I probably read only 2 or 3 books per year :mark: .
Paper or e-reader?
Paper all the time.
Back in your school days were you obliged to read works of your national poets/writers?
That book as well as paper question was ideal for me - I'm an avid reader by any standard and a staunch old school paper guy - well I am old school in most respects :s
Well, not works as such but bits and pieces in language classes - poems mainly and a few prose sections of Mahatma Gandhi or Tagore et al (Shakespeare, Mark Twain and Jerome K Jerome being very common as well!)
What book is usually considered a classic but you were either bored like hell reading it or just could not finish it at all?
Faulkner's and Hemingway's novels.
I know I should be ashamed.....
Gonna hide my head into the sand......
Have you ever been to a streap tease show? :devil:
I have not even tried Hemingway ;) so what does that say about my taste?
No I haven't. I actually dropped 2 colleagues at a Crazy Horse (the Americans will know it) once and went on my way to some music store :erm:
This was after I got married, perhaps it would have been different had I been single back then. :p:
Have you?
No. I mean not yet.:devil:
Do you enjoy musicals?
