I read very few books in english...
The Lord of the Rings (JJR Tolkien),
1984 (George Orwell)
Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll),
you'll laugh at me but my favorite authors are philosophers, Kant, Rousseau, Platon, Heideger, and a lot of others not famous at all. Sartre and Freud are the ones I hate the most.
I like books that make me think, question the world I'm living in, have a critique look at things and make me live better. Ironically I prefer movies as stupid as they can get. I don't like thinking in a cinema and I don't like laughing reading a book.

I figured thats where you got the name from...just like one of my alts Takhisis and there is also Mash.......yoeh we have a few Dragonlance fans in here :-)
Silverspear- 06-08-2005
Cool :D . Over here, I was begining to wonder if anyones even heard of Dragonlance (I was the only one who read stuff like that :oops: ). I was also wondering about that name Nyxa, but I didnt want to take a chance at asking, Ive been in some groups that got extremely mad about people asking names :( . Shadow Phoenix is by far the best Ive been in so far :D .
(I also met Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (They were at the Gen Con in California some time in atumn last year) The're so cool :P )
Mashekle- 06-08-2005
Yup and my name mashekle, is a male derivative, of the healing goddess Mishakal. From dragonlance ;)
Nyxa Nightwing- 06-08-2005
Nyxa is a different spelling of Nixsa the elemental king of water.
