When I was clearing out someone's rubbish, taking it all to the tip I salvaged a few things <____<
Among the rubble was a spent Bofors shell, which is going to be polished up into a neat little ornament. Two big mothafuckin geodes, sliced and polished into a beautiful MINERAL display. And a 1908 king james bible e.e

It took me a moment to twig that this is the first book that I've obtained that is older than a hundred years. Next closest is my 1921 Rudyard Kipling poem collection thing <.<
It's got handwritten notes in it and everything, it's really quite a beautiful old book. Gilded pages and what looks like leather binding (unfortunately :/) but it would be heretical to remove the cover from it >.>

So flud, for the bibliophiles among us, what books have you obtained recently? <.<

Nothing.

I'm currently reading Beneath the Mask, An Introduction to Theories of Personality by Christopher Monte.
Found it in my grandpa's basement.
For fiction I have Bright Lights, Big City and A Dance With Dragons.

I still haven't exactly finished that Nabokov novel I've had on hold for maybe a year...

I can't remember the last time I read a book.

Last book I bought was Fahrenheit 451. I had checked out a copy at the library and felt compelled to purchase it after reading it.

Highly prophetic, and profound.

I read Art of War a few years ago, the best bit is where he's demonstrating a point to the Emperor by killing off his concubines e.e

About to pick up game of thrones

- Telling Lies - Paul Ekman

What is it about (pls no obvious answer like it's about why people lie and blablabla)?

Once you're done, can you share some of the cool knowledge on this site? I too am interested in the work of Paul Ekman, but I'm a poor student who can't afford a book right now... OH WAIT A MINUTE, I DON'T LIVE IN AMERICA!

I can afford the book, but I'm currently saving up for something else, namely the Ekman face suite.

For your thanks I'll give you some of my information, but I don't see a point in writing it down right now if you're not gonna post it... Yes I am aware of that I'd be raising my chances, but y'know, you might do it without the information because you don't think it will help you, and you like being helpful.

In conclusion: Please share what the book says about the signs such as a different blink rate and then presumed normal blink rate after the lie, a change in voice pitch, et cetera, et cetera.

If you want me to contribute to the thread, I will have to get an affirmation from you, and you requesting I do so.
