Then you're a close minded fool, poetry is a form, but to say it sucks is like saying story sucks, you can dislike poetry and not like any of the poetry you've come across, but to say that poetry sucks, for that I ask you to write me a Sestina, a Sonnet and a Villanelle that all work. And for Art, well more close mindedness, you may be a genius, but you'd be an idiot to be so close minded.[/quote]
Ok firstly, I knew you were going to say that and secondly, you have no idea how much stuff I understand and what I can understand and I’ve never liked Poetry.
Poetry simply rubbish because its normally abstract nonsense with some idiot using as few words as possible to try and mean something else which has nothing to do with what they are actually saying, which usually ends up sounding like BS. I also will never write any kind of poem and will not be taking your little request, firstly because, as I say, it’s a load of tripe and secondly, I am programmer, a games designer and a documentation writer not a document vending machine where you slot in insults and expect proof of my intelligence.
Also I am not close-minded; I highly appreciate the quality of classic writing and writers such as Shakespeare and Elliot and with most forms of written or otherwise produced media with the exception of Art. Just because I do not hold high the literary form of poetry dose not give you the right to say that I don’t or cant do so.

Watch the language. And yes it was over 600x120 which is why I removed it."
Now normally I produce a knee-jerk response here of telling you where to go for telling me to "watch my language" which, asides from not being rude just then, I do anyway and even if I choose not to, no one corrects me without getting an ear full BUT instead ill just say, you people are all the same, remove the rod from you know where and that I was joking, its just a bit annoying that I have to now redo it entirely that's all. Plus did you have to litter this thread with that nonsense, cant mods use e-mail?
Now on-topic; going back on what I said I may be able to read a few books at Christmas so keep the suggestions coming.
Quote: "On the original topic, you could check out some of the dragonlance books. They're based I think in the D&D worlds and are very well written. Hope you find something that suits you. "
Aren’t the Dragonlance books based in Ebberon? If so I might just read some of them cus I’ve done a lot of the forgotten realms stuff but never any Ebberon.
Also ive currently got a lil list of suggestions made thus far:
The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series
Flowers for Algenon(sp?)
Dragonlance (DnD Stories)
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
i-Robot by Isaac Asimov
The Erevis Cale Trilogy (Twilight Falling, Dawn of Night, and Midnight's Mask), by Paul S. Kemp.
The Pendragon series, by D.J. MacHale
Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow series,
Eragon
His Dark Materials Trilogy, A set of three books by Philip Pullman
And a couple by me:
The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan, excellently written story
Anything by Saun Hutson (Hybrid is the best imo), totally scary but you better like your blood
Harry Potter 1-6 and 7 when released is probably one of the best modern day classics around imo
Your signature has been erased by a mod because it's larger than 600x120
