The Indian Thread (TiT) # 15

<p>Noldo: I guess, u can open a good drama club as well…;)…</p>

<p>So much that I’ve decided to ride to its defense at the moment.</p>

<p>@ Noldo: Read the Historian, it’s this book about how Vlad the Impaler’s still alive. Should be strangely, appropriate. :D</p>

<p>Shrivats – har har. (I read about half of it a while ago, actually.)</p>

<p>I was probably asking for nightmares watching Supernatural at 11:30 PM, though. </p>

<p>issac – good point. Should’ve included that on my resume: ‘will dramatise at the drop of a hat, do feel free to accept me in order to avail of this service’.</p>

<p>Shivrats… sorry!</p>

<p>I’ve not had nightmares, yet. I once had a dream that I got a ‘likely’ letter from Stanford. Maybe I’ll get waitlisted. ;)</p>

<p>Hello Everyone.</p>

<p>And I was blaming myself for my entry timing which was perfect too be precise.</p>

<p>Where can I get the SAT test Date details?</p>

<p>Is there any special classes for SAT preparation?</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>Collegeboard.com Tintin.</p>

<p>Oh and don’t start on the classes till you’ve tried a practice test or two. (if you hit about 1800-1900 don’t bother. Also Princeton Review and Barrons are 2 good books.</p>

<p>@prajnal: just out to get me, aren’t you? :D</p>

<p>@noldo: :)</p>

<p>Go to <a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D”>www.collegeboard.com</a>. You’ll find all the details regarding test dates, test centres and stuff.</p>

<p>Princeton Review and Kaplan conduct classes for the SAT. IMO they’re not required though.</p>

<p>Nice one Noldo…
I guess my Nightmare is a truth with no editions in it…</p>

<p>If 2 CCers say it, it must be true… :)</p>

<p>Bit like Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norell. We’re conducting an entire conversation in the footnotes/edits here. :)</p>

<p>Non sequitur – I love that book (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell) so very much. Fantastic thing. :D</p>

<p>Speaking of footnotes, Shrivats, have you read ‘Good Omens’? (Or indeed, anything at all by Pratchett. The man has some sort of mysterious command over the footnotes, it’s wonderful.)</p>

<p>Nope nothing by Pratchett. Lot’s in that league though. The entire Robert Jordan series and the like.</p>

<p>P.S. Pratchett as in the Shannarra guy?</p>

<p>P.P.S: @ Noldo: Have you read every book I’ve read?</p>

<p>Talking about books…My favorite is ‘‘A Brief History of Time’’…ya…ya…I know I m crazy…</p>

<p>Terry Pratchett does incredibly literate and hilarious humour-fantasy stuff. I worship the man. <em>subliminal ‘go read!’ messaging</em> (Well, post-Boards, at any rate! ;))</p>

<p>And I don’t know whether I’ve read every book you’ve read, Shrivats, but I do read an awful lot. :smiley: Even when I’m meant to be studying – yes, I should be getting ready for the Boards, but ‘American Gods’ is on my table! It’s practically calling out to me!</p>

<p>Hey, u 2 r too much for a library…</p>

<p>For brilliant humour, my one recourse is Wodehouse. Unbeatable. I tried Eddings for a while in fantasy back in 11th. Stopped it after a while, fantasy not that much my cup of tea. Love Dune though, and anything by Clarke or Asimov. (Robots forever!)</p>

<p>Sorry isaac, we’re doing the entire scaring off thing again. :)</p>

<p>Names you say Pranjal, names? :)</p>

<p>I have a chem practical examination tomorrow. I must be certifiably insane. :D</p>

<p>Wodehouse is fantastic; humour-wise, I’m v. fond of Douglas Adams as well (especially the ‘Dirk Gently’ books, which are the less popular choice – I’ve heard). Dune – the first book was fantastic, but the rest sort of slipped slowly down. (I’d say the first two were great, and after that everything was a bit meh. I stopped reading post-‘God Emperor of Dune’.) Asimov is excellent. </p>

<p>Oh, and modernist poetry – must put in an obligatory ‘T. S. Eliot is God’ note. </p>

<p>And issac – no, you’re not crazy, ‘A Brief History of Time’ is great.</p>
