back when i was a teen, i only liked parties, music, drugs, cars, and dicks
I didnt want to spend 100 hours on some book with language from the 1800s.
Why is this a bad thing?
Reading can make people smarter. Reading dumbed-down shit probably won't have the same effect. This apps prevents people from expanding their vocabulary.
On a side note. I think we should never force children to read old stuff, we should convince them that it's actually worth while. Forcing it on people will just make them reject books even more. There are so many things to read, let them read something that has their interest, something that has a direct benefit to them if they want. If you care about cars, read about cars. It should be about helping kids discover that reading is fun and rewarding.
I think you have the right idea.
Some people find reading boring, just like some people don't like tennis.
If I had this tool when I was a teen, I could have spent more time partying and less time reading, which never made me happy.
I don't know if I would have wanted to read anything.
You were quite the Gatsby in your younger years
Even though that book was assigned, and I skimmed through the cliff notes, and watched an old movie about the book while high because even the cliff notes were too boring, i don't really get the reference.
Did a character named Gatsby suck a lot of dicks in the book? All i remember was he was a rich old dude who liked someone named daisy and he was a bad driver.
He liked to party is all.
I didnt even party that much, unless you count drugs as partying... a lot of times it wasnt even that many people around. Sorry i like drugs, guitars, cars, and ducks more than books.
Ducks are fucking ace, huge agreement there, but;
You said it there, first on your list too; you can see why it looked that way. What's more, to party doesn't necessarily involve a party.
Anyway, I was just making a joke
What if I liked dicks and ducks?
Then I could recommend some sites.
I always am open to recommendations.
What are we talking about?
