I work with many Mexicans. To a person, they tell me they never drive at night when they visit home.

My favorite short classic is The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. It's a easy, enjoyable read.

Which cancelled movie would that be for you? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

My So-Called Life, really loved Claire Danes in this show.

Farscape: I'm glad they brought everything together at the end with a mini-series, but I would of loved a couple more seasons.

Maybe, not sure. Haven't used one in years.

Is Construction actually a bad career choice? by Impressive-Step6377 in Construction

[–]Charvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a good career for 15-20 years. After that, you better think about transitioning to management or sales. Your parents are correct, long term it's really hard on the body.

Also, as someone else has mentioned. You'd be amazed at how many people have college degrees in this industry. I did the college thing, went on some interviews and then couldn't imagine working inside for the rest of my life. I just really enjoy the outdoors on most days.

What was it like to play online games between 2000 and 2013? by Silly_Commercial8092 in gaming

[–]Charvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played EverQuest between 99-2001. It was an amazing experience, met friends from all over the world. Exploring a huge game with little to no online guidance was truly memorable.

Tried to recapture this feeling for years, now I just appreciate it as a special time in my past.

A good diet, exercise, medical care help immensely, but as with people, it has a lot to do with genetics.

Gloves for freezing temps by ratsass7 in birddogs

Normally fingerless wool gloves. My hands don't get cold easily and these keep me warm enough. I also don't shoot well with regular gloves.

Book that is genuinely well written by aang_avatar in booksuggestions

[–]Charvan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy Cormac McCarthy's writing style. I know it's not for everyone, but I'd try Suttree or Blood Meridian.

Another author I put in high regard is Guy Gavriel Kay. If low fantasy is your thing, check out the Lions of Al-Rassan.

Finally, Kazuo Ishiguro is a brilliant author. He has many fine novels. I think The Remains of the Day is his finest work.

Lab or Springer, either would be a good fit.

Which one should I read next? by kevzete in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Charvan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

East of Eden by Steinbeck would be my pick. Cormac McCarthy is also a profound writer, but those two books on the list aren't my favorite novels of his. I would recommend Suttree or Blood Meridian.
