I'm a college student from Egypt. I study telecomm. and electronics engineering (that's one major, not a double major).
I read a lot! A LOT!
I also love discussing the books on my shelf (at least the ones I've read) with others, so if you see a book that you really liked or need a recommendation for, go ahead and post me a note and we'll... more »

    Oh, thank you. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any of these books you recommended. I bought some other like Harry potter, the great Gatsby, the davinchi code, Night by Elie Wiesel , The lovely bones by Alice Sebold and a book by Nietzsche. What do you think? Are you familiar with any of them?

    hello!

    How is it going with you? Nice to see you on Touching Poems group again. I have been away from Shelfari for so long which is so sad to me. I used to be around this website a lot but it's like I check this website once in a month nowadays. I try to be an active member again but I'm just falling behind, besides I haven't got to read many books as of late which is sad again! :(

    Anyway, how is everything with you? Any interesting book you read lately that you would like to recommend?

    Hi Joseph,

    Sorry for my late reply. I read life of Pi until the middle but then put it away because it didn't interest me much. But I might grab to read it anew because I hate to leave a book unfinished. The drawing books are very helpful. I attend art classes and they were somewhat helpful. I drew some of the pictures and learned a little bit about how to do the shading from those books but my art teacher taught me a lot.

    Nice to hear from you again!
    You know, I will graduate next summer and will get my B.A degree in English translation. This M. A exam I told you about is an exam that if you pass , you will study another two years in university and get an M.A ( master of arts) degree. B.A degree is for 4 years and M.A degree is 2 years of study in university. After that is PhD. Does that make any sense?

    I don't think if I can give you a nice description about the book " the kite runner". I think you should read the description at the bottom of that book on this website! :) It is worth reading it.

    Oh, Joseph!
    It's been such a very long time!! Where had you been? Actually, I haven't been very active on this website since a very long time. I hardly ever come here. I have been doing fine, thanks for asking!It was a surprise to get a message from you! I haven't written any English poems recently, but one in Persian. How about you? How did you do with your studies?
    Oh, I have a difficult exam coming up this February. It's my M.A exam. I've been studying, but I hope I'll be able to pass it. Keep your fingers crossed!

    Stranger in a Strange Land is fiction, about an alien on earth. It's not a normal sci-fi story though. It was written in the late 60s and really captures the spirit of the hippie lifestyle and group consciousness. It's an interesting read.

    Hey Joseph!
    I'm sorry but I thought I had answered this already! But that wasn't the case :)
    Good luck with the rest of your finals and the test, if you haven't already had it? :)
    I will try to catch the Simpsons movie before winter but I wouldn't count on it, I don't watch a lot of tv in the summer, although now I do 'cause it's the European Cup in football so I watch that every evening now. :)
