Most beautiful building in your town
woot223 replied to Abundzu's topic in English Lounge - Conversations in English only
The little town I live was completely destroyed during World War 2 and now it's just a suburban town with no interesting buildings. The capital of Lithuania which is roughly 20 minutes away from where I live has a lot of beautiful buildings, I can't even pick one because that would be unfair to the rest of them. -
Breaking Bad (SPOILERS)

I am very happy with the way they ended this amazing show. I think everyone got what they deserved: Hank is finally going to have a normal funeral, Skyler and Walter Jr. are going to get the money that Walt had earned during his career and Jessie killed Todd. I don't think there could've been a better ending. -
As a seventeen year old, what book should I read?
woot223 replied to scottman's topic in English Literature
The people above me are right, you should definitely read The Catcher in the Rye, it's a must for everyone, although there are plenty of people who didn't like the book or just didn't understand why it's so good, it's still worth the read. Another one is Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury, it's more of a book for teenagers but I'm sure that even a seventeen year old will benefit from it. -
Ray Bradbury is my favorite science fiction author. I read his The Illustrated Man twice already and it's even better than the first time. Kaleidoscope is probably the best short story I have ever read, The Long Rain is also an amazing story.

My reading speed is pretty average although I have tried learning speed-reading and could actually increase my reading speed almost 3 times without losing much comprehension, but I stopped practicing it and my reading speed returned to normal which is about 220 words per minute.
