[quote author=Larry-Sun]Danielle Steel, of course.
Here's one:
1. Author's novels have been outsold only by Shakespeare and the Bible.
2. The novel's title ends with 'None' or 'Indians'.
3. Author is late.[/quote]Hmmmn, *strokes sinister looking goatee*

I'm sure there are like a gazillion of qualified suspects in this category. But I'd say Danielle Steel

cowgurl: Alright, I trust you to
deliver. Have I told you I love the serenity this section radiates? It's
so peaceful and calm in here and for this beautiful reason, I officially declare
Literature Section my relaxation spot. So please, do not let anyone
come in here and ruin my serenity.

My sentiments exactly. Wiser words have never been spoken. . . . . . for a while

Cuddlemii: Lolz, sometimes emotions are hard to suppress and you need someone to blame.
It's always the innocent that gets blamed
How r u?

A petty human failing, I might add. I'm well. Hope you'll be rid of what's keeping you MIA these past days soon

kay9: Naa i wasnt, i'm their undercover agent actually. Seun n his mods (excluding u, of course ) pissed me off so i've been staying away.

Anyways, everyone PLEASE forgive me for breaking the 24hr rule; had a loooooong unfulfilled day yesterday. Yeah, it sucks, i know.

So... seems no one got my riddle. I'm surprised o; actually had a bet with meself that uj_sizzle'll nail it the instant she shows up...

No and no.

I concur, there truly cant be.

Ok, ok... The author (who's been mentiond here SEVERAL times already) is no other than J.R.R TOLKIEN...yep, its him.
And the answer to the riddle is ''THE CHILDREN OF HURIN''. Yes, yes, the book was completed and published by his son, Christopher Tolkien. But seriously now, hasn't anyone read the tragedy of Turin Turambar and the House of Hurin? Ok ok, i'm just showing off

Lol. This is how magicians work. Misdirection. Tolkien is unfortunate that his middle Earth books are so popular. One would be surprised to learn that J. K. Rowlings wrote anything besides the Harry Potter books.

kay9: ^^Glad u likey mon ami.

@Sino, hey bro! Yeah, been some donkey years since we played in Ariblaze's sandbox. Funny, it seems more'n half of the rant club is here...

Hey V, how'd u do it? Tg has been tryin 2reassemble the club for ages.

Tg, u know V doesnt like it when folks do that to his name.

**aiit, i've derailed enough**

Terry Brooks? Mr ''everything'' of Shannara

I didn't do anything oh. I just stumbled on Sino here and everything seemed to just somersault into a semblance of the old order. And don't mind that yeye girl with a T. I know her medicine

wiegraf: @ves
Maybe you could tell me exactly where you had problems. Following usual procedures I use there were no issues.

Do you have utorrent? Of course there are others, and they should work, but I used utorrent for this purpose...
http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/complete/os/win/track/stable

Installed? Then

1. Search for torrent or magnets, this url
http://thepiratebay.se/search/code%20geass/0/7/0

2. Sorting by seeds I chose this one
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/5356148/Code_Geass_Seasons_1__amp__2_%5BSubbed%5D_%5B.avi%5D
10 gig for both seasons, fairly reasonable

3. Click on "get this torrent", beside a small magnet jpeg.

4. Your browser should open utorrent and add the file automatically

5. Give it a little time to pick up, say 5 mins. After that check, its status in utorrent, it should be downloading by then. I'm not sure as to how magnet links work, but it seems they do not immediately pickup.

I used mtn, no blocking..

Good lucking, any issues?

edit: looking up magnet links, they work in an awesome way, but they might take a while to locate the files, so depending on your connection speed I could see it taking more than 5 mins to start, but ~15 should be the limit

Thanks! 8% downloaded so far.

muskeeto2: if torrents are blocked.. use zbigz.com

they provide this awesome service, they convert the torrent link to http downloads. And their servers are much faster.. saves you some data usage as u dont have to upload at the same time..

@wiegraf: thanks for d advice. They came to my school and gave an impromptu test some months back. I got shortlisted and wrote another test a week back. Tbh, Im not too sure I did well on that one. Still waiting to hear from them.

Thanks also. That thing will be useful sometime for torrents sometimes don't download at your connection speed.

Robert Riordan? undecided

Literature › Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(op): 9:45pm On Oct 09, 2012

C. S. Lewis and Tolkien were friends. I dunno if inspired qualifies his work. That's the only thing I can think of. I'm sure it's wrong anyways

TV/Movies › Re: The Most Violent Anime You've Ever Watched? by vescucci(m): 7:11pm On Oct 09, 2012

wiegraf: Nippon, that could be cool. I sort of considered a program they have where they recruit teachers from all over the world for 2-3 years, I forget what it's called, but it's supposedly popular. Of course I didn't follow up, but you could check it out if interested. However, iirc, you can't get in with a 9ja passport.... $deity bless us, and you'd probably have to finish your program first

And I've been trying to figure out why you were banned. I can't see you making any threats (in fact some dude threatened to beat you up, lol, good job), so it looks like censorship to me..

@ves, lemme get on a real pc later tonight, I'll look for good torrents and post it probably before tomorrow, unless of course you find them before them before then. And that's why I don't usually have a list of 'watch anime online' site, they rarely last more than 6 months. I wonder if crunchyroll is still worth the money....

Arigatou gozaimas!!!!

Islam › Re: Islam And Science by vescucci(m): 3:40pm On Oct 09, 2012

Let's be frank jare. It is more likely that science will thrive in spite of religion and not due to it. What religion REALLY promotes scientific exploration? Remember Galileo? The Abrahamic religions are anti-progress. Jehovah Witnesses won't transfuse blood because blood has some spirit in it. There's no empirical evidence for this spirit thingie. It's all haemoglobin and red blood cells that I see. People are not getting vaccinated in Northern Nigeria. Can you guess why?

Bottom line is, whereas it's debatable whether religion, Islam in this case, in anti-science, it is definitely not pro-science. It inherently does nothing at all to help science along. The rest is just plenty talk.

Wait, there can't be many male authors that have kicked the bucket and have been mentioned in the whole of the three pages of this thread, can there? *takes a deep breath* Can there?

Crime › Re: UNIPORT KILLING - The Truth by vescucci(m): 9:47am On Oct 09, 2012

Sigh. It's been a long time I've felt so angry. I hope there's a hell for their killers to go to. I don't know what kinda punishment on earth would suffice. I hope there's heaven, for the boys to go to. These are not cultists I'm looking at. And I've seen a few. Even if they were cultists, they deserve trials for whatever crimes they might have committed. May their souls rest in peace. Or may their souls haunt the bastards that killed them and those that stood by while they were being killed

Unfortunately, I don't read many female authors. Not that they're not great writers or anything, they just usually don't write about the things that interest me.

TV/Movies › Re: Waaaaaay Over Hyped Movies by vescucci(m): 8:06pm On Oct 08, 2012

Inception is not overhyped. But some idiots think it's cool to say they like it when they really don't understand what went down in it. It's fine to say you didn't get it. That said, it's a great movie but I felt it should have concentrated on the means more than the end i.e. the dream within a dream within a dream thingie rather than just trying to get industrial secrets and edge.
