Down with Gaddaffi!

I would say I haven't read most of those people. There are some authors books I have read. I just gave a list of well respected authors that I feel should be able to help you in your endeavor.

Honestly, I could not suggest books that would at least help you get a better score the next time you take the IELTS. Why I say this is because I do not know if they would help, but it is said that reading in general helps the vocabulary of the reader so with some exception most books would work.

Whatever books or authors I do suggest I would not want them to be too difficult that it does not help you nor too easy which would also not help. I'll suggest authors and books to read coming up. With the authors you can choose what of theirs to read. Here are my suggestions:

Michael Crichton [Author]
Harry Turtledove [Author]
The Unincorporated Man [Book] by Dani Kollin & Eytan Kollin
J.R.R. Tolkien [Author]
Michael Moorcock [Author]
The Great Gatsby [Book] by F. Scott Fitzgerald
John Steinbeck [Author]
Ernest Hemmingway [Author]
Herman Melville [Author]
Nathaniel Hawthorne [Author]
H.P. Lovecraft [Author]
Frank Herbert [Author]
Charles Dickens [Author]
Robert A. Heinlein [Author]
The Hunger Games [Book] by Suzanne Collins
The Giver [Book] by Lois Lowry

That's all I got for now. Hope it is helpful. Good pick on the Tell Tale Heart. That is one of my favorite works by Poe.

I'm applying to different jobs to get a better job, a job that will allow me to move out because eventually I will be no longer welcome in my home so to speak. I think Sandstorms can be just as dangerous in as tornadoes. Almost every region in the world has some natural disaster that affects more than normal.

I'm not an expert in tornadoes, but I think during the summer time is tornado season but Virginia doesn't get many tornadoes. There is a section in the U.S. that is called Tornado Alley because of how prevalent tornadoes are in the region.

When a tornado is nearby the steps to insure safety is to get some place low and without any windows nearby - like a closet. A tub is another alternative place to stay. In the Tornado Alley region I believe a lot of people have storm cellars, an underground bunker, on their property that they go to during severe weather particularly tornadoes.

I'm doing ok. Have been dealing with sour news from my girlfriend. Have an interview for a job this Friday. I am waiting for another interview with a different job where my elder sister works; it is a restaurant. The manager really liked me but the general manager is on vacation till this Friday. They don't do interviews during the weekend because those are their prime days for business. So I expect a call from them Monday.

The storm wasn't too bad. My area didn't get any tornadoes though areas close to mine did. The storm didn't last that long either. It started around 6pm, my time, and ended around 10pm.

What would you like to know?

So,how have you been lately?

*pokes*Hi

Well we have like a 6 month period we can go back to for the "current event". It doesn't have to be ongoing necessarily just recently discussed or done.

By being one nation, regardless of your differences, do you mean the Muslim nation? Cause I thought Bahrain was a separate country?

But this is still some good stuff, I thank you because you got this to me in the nick of time. And in case you don't know what "in the nick of time" means: it is an idiom for just before it is too late.

What say you on my request for help on my project?

It is for my Public Speaking class. The topic is Current Events. And I thought if I could get information on the subject I choose from you it would offer an unique perspective.

Could you help me with a project of mine for school.

I would like if you could go into detail what your king has done, domestically, to satisfy his people? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Also, what is your take on your king sending troops to Bahrain?

Hey Himi!

It's been awhile since I sent you a VM, so I thought I would stop by, and see how thing's are going? Hope everything is well, and my best regards go to the people of libya.

I sure wish Obama would have went to congress, and did it the right way, but what can you do. Our government Lie's to us about almost everything, so it's hard to know the truth. I do hope he is doing it for the civilians of libya though, and not just for foreign oil.

Hi there. I was meaning to message you. I was wanting to ask you, how do you viewed the recent protests that are happening in the Middle East? As well as your thoughts on how the Saudi Arabian government handled any potential protests?

I do like to read, but I don't think I have a favorite period of Literature. I'm not that into older books though there are a few I would like to read such as the 4 Classical Chinese Novels.

As for Shakespeare and plays. I'm also not a big play person, however, I feel that Shakespeare may be a bit over-rated. I have read a few of his plays and I don't see anything special, wondrous, amazing, etc. about his work. Not to say it isn't bad but nothing special. I can't say for sure until, and that is an "if", I read more plays.

Where is this university located?
