David Copperfield was a tough read when I tried it several years ago. I should probably have another go at it eventually, but there are other literary legends I've got to absorb as well. I'm impressed that a non-native English speaker can make head and tail out of that novel. It's a little archaic.

Oh please, it's not that archaic. I've read books far more ''archaic'' then this one. Wuthering Heights, Robinson Crusoë, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, hell, even To the Lighthouse and Dracula seem more archaic then what I have encountered in David Copperfield so far...

Then again, I'm a pretty experienced reader.

Agreed; the hat is classy.

And Pride and Prejudice was a far simpler read than David Copperfield. Or it might have just been the three years more of reading experience between when I read each of them.

Matias, you should play piano. Those are some disproportionally large hands and fingers :p

Edit: Nice hat and hair!

IMG_0527.jpg Ahw, screw this, I'll post a picture :sad:

there are several things that I don't like of this picture:
-I'm standing waaaaay too static, as if I'm frozen solid in an instant.
-My hair is waaaay longer now...

And now I'll leave this topic forever...

If the above post offended you in any way,
please take note that, until further notice, I don't care, so get lost.

He has what is called a "babyface" i.e. he appears younger than he really is (not derogatory in any way). It can be both a blessing and a curse. I should know, used to have one, if I still don't have it. ;)

Then again, people have said I'm anywhere from 16 to 20 when I'm really 18.... :sad:

My conclusion:

If people think you are younger: good
If people think you are older: bad

Not necessarily. If you are "older", you are generally considered more mature and therefore are let in on things. Pro's and con's for both sides of the coin exist. :sad:
