Sorry... I've been terribly busy recently...

Am interested in epistemology... As I can decipher a person's e-mood by studying the way he interacts and can even use that to build a mental picture of the person and know how he might behave in real life...


I need something that can increase my accuracy to almost 90%

Are you wellversed in this area?

No sir. I am not. But I'm curious, can you paint me a mental picture of how you think my character in real is?

cheesy
Cause I wasn't really paying much attention before

But I think you're always too straightforward for my little charms to work on you...

You hardly show any emotion on this forum and i think some of those Smileys you use during interaction don't really portray how you feel...

Sometimes I wonder whether you even laugh for longgrin

Don't worry... am gonna do some more homework on you.

Unless you have a keen interest in a specific subject area, you may find reading academic books boring (gaske!!). Reading a normal book is usually out of self-interest. It's like with me and tech articles, I would rather read a scientific or technological article over say a text book on Certified Ethical hacking. Though I do find the latter interesting, there are certain aspects of "ethical" hacking I don't know about that I may find boring.

Bro, if you do not have anything to say why not keep quiet ....
Personally, the only novel i attempted reading was 'mine boY' by peter abraham... I prefer using the word attempted because i didn't finished it... My point here is that not everyone prefers an entertaining book to an informative book.... and for the records it all boils down to orientation....

First of all Op, the topic should be 'most people'

Secondly, enter a good university to study an engineering or a medical course go de read novel, when you get a CPGA of 1.3, you will know that it is students below tertiary level that read novels instead of academic books.

I would rather watch a movie than read fiction... Time is very precious especial time I allocate to read... Reading something that is not real, a product of someones imagination is not an attractive prospect for me. I would rather spend that time reading something that is concrete and based on reality.

I hardly read for entertainment value but for educational value. I just think we are all wired differently some like fiction some don't.
