If the mods take this out to a seperate thread, here or in aother forum, I will continue the debate. Well you or your housemate could start a thread on it Duggy!

I can't stand it, so much so that i've only read 1 or 2 novels, i think since i left school (roughly 20 years ago!). There seems to be a general consensus that if you aren't into reading you must be a bit thick (maybe i am:D) but there are literally hundreds of things i would prefer to do than read fiction.

Duggys Housemate wrote: » epigentic modifications from climatic conditions sounds like pseudo science you half googled. Pinker's book deals with everything. He is a neuro-scientist not a psychologist. The book is an overview on the modern versions of science of heritability in humans. This 'interested in" is a deflection. We started off with science. So lets be clear. Most people cant do mathematical science, in particular, because they are not intelligent enough to handle the maths. If we move onto other forms of intelligence, like Beckham's ability to kick a ball, we will be here all day. Were we to talk common sense, it would be another issue . You said everybody can do science. Thats not true.

I read shítloads of non fiction, but my head just can't get around fiction at all. Never could even as a small child. I'd always ask for information(mostly natural world stuff with some engineering stuff thrown in) type books when my mates were reading Famous five or whatever the fcuk. It would be near torture for me to read something like Harry potter. I just can't plug into the internal world of novels thing that others can, yet I can watch drama on stage and screen and enjoy it and devoured comics as a kid. No idea why.

Mod note: last time a thread like this was made a lot of people were banned. If your opinion is too extreme you probably shouldn't post it.
