I'm a Stanford psychology student. I somewhat dismayed that I haven't read as many good books as I would have liked. I certainly do not want to become a philistine. I'm not asking to become the next Frasier Crane, but I would like to be more culturally literate.

I have on my reading list books by - Nietzsche (obviously), Marx, Bertarnd Russell, Richard Dawkins, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, J.D. Salinger, Don DiLillo, George Orwell, Rosseau, Ayn Rand, Schopenhauer, Sam Harris, Conrad,

Which works from that list of authors would you recommend that I read?

What books are indispensible to a college student?

This may be a silly question, but to those erudite readers - how do you read a book? - Straight through? An hour a day? Laying in bed? Sitting on a couch? Many people do not know the best way to go about reading a book.

If you don't know a word, do you look it up in the dictionary, or do you just make it out and/or skip it? Thanks!!

I love Gaara from the show but when I saw this saturday's show am starting to think that Gaara is weak. I though he was strong to the point that none could touch him but Rock Lee almost beat his butt and it seens like Saskue is going to do the same. Please tell me that my Gaara would kill Saskue and dearly Gaara isn't weak

First let me start that I am a little white woman from a middle to upper middle class unbringing.

Ok, with that said.

We have the Ted Danson movie about the black kids playing chess

Then there was that movie with Michelle Pfeiffer with the black kids and she was teaching them poetry.

Theres the one with Antonio Banderas, Im not sure he counts since I think he is spanish, where is teaching the kids to dance.

There is a more recent movie with Matthew Perry, "The Ron Clark Story, He work with disadvantaged students in rural North Carolina and in inner-city Harlem

I know there are lot I am missing but these are the ones I remember.

Ok, here is my question and/or statement that I know is going to somewher make someone mad.

Are there no Black men/woman out there that make a difference in kids lives.?

All these movies I see are about the great white man/woman coming in and 'saving' the little black kids.?

Because how long would it take to train a pilot? How long would it take to build the hours to reach the minumum of 2500hrs? The major airlines usually require that amount of hours as minumum.

Also, what's probably the average hours a pilot has when he or she is hired for a major airline?

The Jewish religion believes that no one can die for anothers sins. First, in Exodus 32:30-35, Moses asks God to punish him for the sin of the Golden Calf, committed by the people. God tells Moses that the person who committed the sin is the person who must receive the punishment. Then, in Deuteronomy 24:16, God simply states this as a basic principle, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sins." This concept is repeated in the Prophets, in Ezekiel 18 "The soul that sinneth, it shall die... the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him." So how did Jesus die for our sins if the bible says no one can?

Also, the Jewish religion also believes that the messiah would not be god, but a human, and restore Israel, and be a great political leader.

I am so confused. How did these prophecies get so twisted around? Can someone pleaaaaase explain this to me?!

hi, i'm a recent applicant applying for the undergraduate science programs in this coming fall 07. I'd like to ask if anyone could give me some advises in choosing a major to get in? I'm interested in biochemistry, health science and genetics stuffs. Which courses are hot in York Uni? and less-competitive to get in? I know the biochemistry course is highly competitive to enrol, so what are other alternatives? Biology or chemistry? There aren't many choices to pick though. Any advises in the future career aspects in this field would be much appreciated too! thanks!
