Either Hush or Batman year one. The Killing Joke is overrated! *Runs and hides*Jazz_Fan

Really? I thought Hush was pretty poor actually.

Anyway my favourite:

ok, I'll admit it doesn't have the depth of The Dark Knight Returns or Year One (which are the other two of my top three), but it more than makes up for it in the story.

also..

...I find this to be pretty underrated.

OK... some nice, fun and pretty challenging (although nottoo challenging) classical/acoustic guitar pieces:

Recuerdos De La Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega is my absolute favourite piece to play. Ever. OK, it's pretty difficult but once you get the tremolo picking down, it's not as hard as you might think. Definitely worth a shot anyway.

Angie by Bert Jansch

Vincent arr. Chet Atkins

Foxglove by Bruce Cockburn Sorry, I could only find a cover but it'll at least give you an idea of how it goes. It's incredibly fun to play!

you should be able to get all the tabs on ultimate-guitar.com.

Can't claim to have read anything other than Everthything is Illuminated but it was brilliant. I have read enough by McCarthy, however, to conclude that he is one of the greatest writers ever.

I think Suttree is his best book by far, Child of god, and Blood Meridan.

Suttree is great but my favourite is All the Pretty Horses, followed by Blood Meridian. Suttree is definitely unjustly underrated though!

Her writing was genius, like I said I suggest people read The Fountainhead. Wilde slept with a rent boy. Hemingway was a miserable basterd. I don't think a writers personal life should change how we see there work. In 1991 the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month club held a survey, and Rands 'Atlas Shrugged' was second to the Bible in the book that made the most difference in the American readers' lives.

Rand is a mediocre writer at best, in my opinion. Rand was a homophobic, self-centred, evil ****. It's hard to overlook that when it's so tightly wound into her books (well, maybe not her being homophobic, but the rest still stands :P ) I'll forgive Hemingway for his misanthropy because he was an awesome writer. Objectivism is servely flawed. Rand sucks because her books were essentially a way in which she could preach her dumb philosophy to the masses, with little literary merit.

Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me.

:cry:

But seriously, the last dream I can remember involved me helping my friend find his cookie which he burried in a mound of dirt in an airfield behind my house.

I play guitar (in fact, I've taught it for four years now), violin, viola, mandolin and very basic piano. And, more recently, the ocarina! Just starting out though :P

Wow erm, I can't answer. All my books are twenieth century back. My fave writers are Hemingway, Steinbeck and Rand, and i'm currently reading Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' to give you an idea of who I mean. I prefer writers like Wilde and so on, because I know what i'm getting, where as if you read the synopsis on the back you could get duped. Thats why I never buy modern books, the review on the back will hardly say 'it's crap, stick with Twain.'

I couldnt stand Ayn Rand, too much pretentious self indulgent preachy philosophy and not enough story or good characters.

...not to mention she was an evil so-and-so.

I couldn't agree more sir!

Chrono Trigger as it's one of the greatest games ever in my opinion. FFIV is too... but I wasn't a huge fan of the DS version. Still good though.

Fusion. Super Mario Advance is the worst of the four GBA ports, but not a bad game by any means.
