Have you read any of his other books? I found an "Abudance of Katherines" and "Looking for Alaska" to be alright.

I have a friend who did his PhD in Philosophy. Maybe not the same degree as yourself but having a degree in Philosophy may initially feel like you are limited to teaching it or if you're lucky enough get a job as a civil servant. He does in fact teach college level philosophy courses however surprisingly a good chunk of his income comes from the e-books he has independently published on the subject and a few fiction pieces with some of the specialized philosophical themes he was interested. So perhaps if you have a strong love of doing creative work you could partner that up with your interests in history. Best of luck to you. I would have loved to do a degree in History (chose Psych instead), so in the meantime I get my fix through 'Coursera'.

I collect audiobooks but tend not to read them

When we read Shakespeare in High School I remember liking Hamlet, but I think Othello got me all the more. Have you ever seem Shakespeare performed?

1,3,4,5,6,8,9.....great stuff My intro to vinyl was ''Dark Side of the Moon''

My prefered tastes exactly!!!!!!!

Yay Book thread This is definitely my comfort zone. I've just discovered audio books recently which suit me perfectly when I go on long long long walks. I recently finished "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (a little late to the game) and have just started "The Hobbit". I often prefer the performance voices on CD to the monotonous tone in my head.

I started with tea as a child, moved up to mochas in my mid teens but it was a barista job that had me drinking it black. As a result I'm a 3 cuppaday pony.

There is an interesting thought there. I can intuitively see why this may be so. Where would you place mocha's?

1.Beauty and the Beast 2.The Lion King 3.Alladin 4.The Little Mermaid 5.The Fox and the Hound

Technically the 10th was my first. A friend roped me into the series by starting me off with "Silence in the Library" because with me libraries are a win. After seeing that episode smack in the middle of everything I started proper with the beginning of the reboot with Eccleston. Technics aside I consider Eccleston to be 'my doctor' as at the time Tennant was too manic ferret for me. I got to like him better as the series developed for me.

Hello nice to meet you, I'm gonna go with the mane consensus here, your english is just fine. Journalism and communications, how interesting I have some friends that also studied in communications and ended up doing some very interesting things. Not to worry about the future. I just finished my Psychology and they have a similar saying that we just end up working at Starbucks Have fun!

Hello and welcome. I'm a blank flank too having just joined the forums recently. Great intro and accurately representative avatar. I just realized I had put the pony before the cart in having a cutie mark on my avatar, but oh well c'est la vie. Very cool for being in animation, or even getting re-acquainted with it. Many of my friends where I live are also animators. Making stuff is cool.

Igloo repairman from Edmonton, very legit You've got it worse that we do out east. Stay toasty!

Well it seems to start (after reading some of the introduction material) that I am a blank flank eager to work her way up to muffin. This is my first forum, and the first time that I've ever actively participated in fan-based culture. I am a Canadian, it is winter now and I am a little giddy at thought of connecting with other MLP fans while barricaded in because of snow (I am partly kidding). As mentioned above I recently finished watching a really nice documentary on brony culture and the enthusiasm of everyone at the conventions and the personal stories of community through forums I found were quite inspiring. I am a recent psych grad who likes to read, cook for people, play with puppies, watch more tv than is probably good for me, be with my friends, listen to music, run, write ( a little), and be there to help others when I can. I had a very difficult time choosing of the mane 6 which was my favourite. Like many of you I identify with more than one of the central characters and it was a close tie with a lot of hemming and hawing over Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy. Because my dream is to become a librarian some day Twilight had immediate appeal however, coming from a psychology background and a bit of a trained ear in compassionate listening Fluttershy will always be a bit of an inspiration for me. So I look forward to talking and connecting with other ponies and bronies...specially if it involves talk of books and baked goods:D
