The *Official* Guidance Thread

<p>I have a question for Warts. I have a problem. I need to get a cooler example of internet addiction and I can’t find any. My teacher won’t let me use .com, .net, .org and so on. only .gov, .edu, and journals. What do I do to find a better example of internet addiction?</p>

<p>I have a few case studies, but only one of them is a decent example.</p>

<p>When do you recommend I start my essay?</p>

<p>so you can’t use collegeconfidential.com :open_mouth: :confused: :[ :.(…</p>

<p>how about [Miami</a> Christian University - Earn Your Bible Theology Degree Online](<a href=“http://www.mcu.edu?]Miami”>http://www.mcu.edu?) except that mcu.eud is Maine CCist University</p>

<p>I can’t find anything about internet addiction on it, though?</p>

<p>Maine CCist University has a major in Internetology. Our website is not up yet.</p>

<p>Perhaps you could interview someone ;]</p>

<p>Yosef, perhaps? Where is Yosef. I asked for Yosef.</p>

<p>^^I suggested that.</p>

<p>I don’t possess a rating though.</p>

<p>Take it to the Caf</p>

<p>You do. I will interview tomorrow maybe, Yosef. Tonight I need no more advice.</p>

<p>I thought that there were CCist regulations that stated that we could not post there.</p>

<p>No, I’m not too fond of it.</p>

<p>You guys can facebook chat. And then Warts can add me on facebook :b</p>

<p>Can you explain to me why I’m reading Catch-22, yet I’m 50 pages into it and don’t understand it at all?</p>

<p>^^Don’t be ridiculous. Plants can’t have facebooks.</p>

<p>^Because it sucks.</p>

<p>Then why am I reading a sucky book?</p>

<p>That’s a question only you can answer.</p>

<p>That’s too deep a question for me to answer.</p>

<p>Should I abandon the book then? And if so, do I go on to The Alexandria Link, The Tipping Point, or A thousand Splendid Suns?</p>

<p>I should preface my comments by saying that I’m very picky, especially with contemporary literature, disliking nearly everything not written by a few of my favorite authors. It’s actually really restrictive. Even some of the most acclaimed works of the last few years – Atonement, Possession – I find annoying as I read, and the more I read what I tend to like best, the more aggravating I find modern novels. Now, I’ve even come to be bothered by books I used to enjoy.</p>

<p>Anyway, I’d recommend abandoning the book, but it’s also from a whole genre I find uninteresting. Of course, you don’t seem to like it either though. And, really, life’s too short to read books you don’t enjoy.</p>

<p>The Alexandria Link - I’ve read one book by the same author and I think it was the most godawful thing I ever finished. Perhaps the 2nd most awful. I’ll flatter it and go with that.</p>

<p>The Tipping Point - This is hypothetically the one I would go with, since it seems harder for non-fiction to be grating, but since I don’t usually read NF, probs not in reality.</p>

<p>A Thousand Splendid Suns - I might own this book, maybe. This or Kite Runner Who knows. I’d likely try it, and finish it, since it’s not too long. So, I guess that means I’m supporting Hosseni.</p>

<p>I’m not even sure what the genre of Catch-22 would be considered xD</p>

<p>Curious - what Steve Berry book did you read? (I just finished The Templar Legacy last night. I first picked it up more than a year ago and got through about 150 pages, but it became too hard to trudge through. I actually enjoyed it my second time around though.)</p>

<p>I really enjoyed The Kite Runner, so I might go with A Thousand Splendid Suns too :P</p>

<p>^The Romanov Prophecy. It was a while back, but I just remember it sucking <em>so</em> badly.</p>

<p>Catch-22 actually gets pretty good. It’s satire. It can’t get better than that. Nately’s whore is hilarious.</p>

<p>…I have no clue what it’s making fun of if it is meant to be satire. Really all I’ve gotten out of it so far is that there seems to be zero plot structure… I think.</p>

<p>Maybe I’m just too dumb for that book.</p>
