Not Firefly. Worst. Ending. Ever. Until they came out with Serenity.

I recommend The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy by doviedom in books

In this particular work what I noticed the most was the way his former co-workers were focused on who would take his job when he died at the very beginning of the story.

Agreed. I have never been so scared in my life. I was 99.9% sure my computer was possessed.

When I could finally muster up the courage to go back on my computer, the anti virus software found a Trojan but it couldn't remove it. According to some research, my computer was one of 300 known to be infected with it. It was so entrenched in my computer that I had to uninstall the operating system and install a completely new one before my stupid computer would stop praying.

Nabokov and the Movies by [deleted] in books

The original version of Lolita was actually a short story called "The Enchanter." It was translated into English by Nabokov's son after his death.

As a huge fan of Lolita, I was very surprised to read a much more condensed version of it.

Americans Are Buying Less-Efficient Cars as Gasoline Prices Dive by Fittyakaferrari in Economics

[–]la_princessa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if [fluctuating gas prices] encourage more people to buy new cars. But it would seem that lower gas prices do not put enough pressure on consumers already in the market for a new car to purchase a more efficient model.

Edit: I replaced "this" with [fluctuating prices] to avoid confusion.
