Is this true?

Absolutely not.

But I did read a few Goosebumps and Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing.

ok then. Real talk. Recently, I've been going through and reading some of the 'classics' that I had never read. Most recently I read The Old Man and the Sea and The Catcher in the Rye. Now I'm reading a few different things. I'm reading Brave New World, and also some nonfiction shit. Like this book called "Language in Danger", and some book about Economics. I just grab shit at the library because if I don't like it, I don't feel obligated to read the whole thing.

I'll look into it.

I would genuinely suggest Bringing Down the House to you. It's supposed to be a non-fiction book, but everyone knows Mezrich embellished a little. Still, the core story is true, and it's awesome. I am a slow reader--sometimes next a month or more to get through a book--but I blew through this one in just a few days.

Also, if you're up for reading some fiction, The Exorcist is actually one of the best books I've read and another one of the rare few that I got through very quickly. The movie was good, but the book is even better (as is often the case.)

I've seen the movie 21 and the exorcist so I probably wont read those. I dont like readin books if I've already seen the movie ,I dont like knowing the ending if you know what I mean

Bringing Down the House and 21 are very dissimilar. The movie is based on the book, but very loosely.

The book is a whole other experience.

SPX I just got an idea.

You/we/us should write a book about MMA wagering . No ones done it that I know of we could be pioneers

Not a bad idea, but I think it would be difficult to get a whole book out of it.

Why?
They have books on baseball betting,NFL betting ,NBA betting ,Poker ,craps ,roulette etc .Why would it be hard to get 100 pages on MMA betting?

LOL

Here's what happens:

We write the book, it becomes wildly successful and we all profit greatly. As a result, the membership on the site skyrockets. Zak brings us in as partners and then takes Zak Industries public, where we profit even more, and then we have as many members as Sherdog.

Then we all sit around, drinking beers, wistfully talking about the good ol' days and how this place was better when it was a small, tight-knit community.

Then we all leave the site to start our own forums because we dont like how big IWS got and never speak again
