I notice many of the successful people are book worms.

my cousin read books alot and she came out of Highschool like on of the top studnet in the country

another guy who used to read daily, his mother is libarian at the school. Most of the test he used to score 100%. In the SAT the guy who cheated from him got a mark that was enough for him to enter Harvard the cheator was like 1400. He entered MIT and got excluded one semester. all because he was reading.

There was an arabic scholar who was smart and wrote many book, He is called al-Jahat, which mean someone with twisted eyes. that is because he reads alot :D

I read a ton and generally have two or three books going on at the same time, and for different purposes, whether it be for nothing but enjoyment (like the 'Sea of Swords' Salvatore book I'm currently reading...I have his whole series on these characters with a few more books to go), dealing with a special interest (I'm currently re-reading Plimpton's 'Shadow Box), or something a little more serious that may have to do with perspective look at life or something like that (my mother-in-law gave me some James Redfield books this weekend that I'll be starting shortly...I've read his 'Celestine Prophecy' before and these are off-shoots of that).

On average I probaly read 25 to 30 books a year, and that's not even mentioning all the reading I do when I look at the magazines, newspapers (old & new...I like to dig up those old boxing articles from a few really good on-line sources), or even stuff that's on the internet, like, well, threads, articles and other stuff.

Well, I actually still have a labour-type job, EM, but it's my own small business that I have going so I do have a bit of freedom to take time off when it's neccessary (like currently, as I've limited myself only to the estimations part of the job in recent weeks).

I think I get so much reading done for the simply fact that, with the rare exceptions, I'm not really a big movie or television fan and generally don't watch the boob tube all that much in my spare/down time.

It's been pretty good to my family & I so far, EM (besdies the toll it takes on the knees and whatnot), and after having it for a while now, I'll be more than happy if it maintains the status quo in the near or even distance future.

But thanks for the nice vote of confidence and compliment anyways, my friend.

reminds me of the movie Joe Blow :D

it is based on true story about a drug dealer , he was like the monoply of cocain in the 70s or so.

In the movie his father was working hard and have just enough money to support him as well as his mother ran away couple of time because of the finical sitaution. His father told him it doesnt matter as long as he have him, the money is not that worth it. After about 35 years he knew what his father really meant because he could never seen his daughter after his last smuggling cocain and got caught. Ironicly he wanted to do that so he could see his daughter and support her and then he would have quit

Quit readin after college ended. **** is just boring.

On long car rides I still read some old books tho.
