I am going to say something but before i say it i am going to give you an analogy...I am not a good English reader i have problem with the language but i am going to say something...Listen LOTS OF YOU say Oh i can understand any book i read i read so many books....This reminds me of LISTENING LIKE HOW I SAY...Lots of you say you are a good listener, yet if i took you to college to all of you 98% of you will have your notebook FULL of notes...Yet if you was to LISTEN , RETAIN, what the professor says you will not need to take notes you probably will had a few notes here and there but is not the case...

Same thing with reading....Lots of you read a book yet if you took a questionaire after you read that book 3 days later YOU WILL FLUNK IT...Why? Because most books are PEPPERED with big words...Dude who has the time to learn big words...Most people WORK go in at: 7am and get off at: 4pm and it takes them 1 hour to get home depends on traffic...Do anyone has time to to learn big word or take a course in English...PEOPLE GOT KIDS...Dude even the Newspaper is like that...This goes to all Book readers in the USA...You might know more English than me but you dont want to read THE ENTIRE LIBRARY BOOKS and just dedicate yourself to that..There are book readers who will like to read EVERY SINGLE BOOK IN THE LIBRARY JUST AS A PASSION but can they....It kind of hurts because older books from ages past tend to have more difficult english words...The same thing happens in Spanish, there is so many countries speaking different strain of Spanish that when you read a book you got to find out which country strain it is and see if you can read it...But let me start with English because is the most popular language in the world...

Listen you might had read a book but you are only GRASPING 75% of it or 67% of it...Dude i go to a bookstore and i want to EAT literally tear pages apart and eat them all of them...How many book readers all over will like to do that...There is something i said on my myspace blog that i didnt said it here...You go to a bookstore/library and you are going to find like 7 to 12 NIVELES LEVELS of ENGLISH...How many of you PURPOSELY go to a novel sale to buy old books/novels cheaper for like 25 cents so you can read them and not have to go to a bookstore to buy new books/novels, because you love reading that much....YET DONT FORGET THAT PEOPLE WORK AND HAVE KIDS...Unfortunately i dont have a solution but i am going to say this...

NOVELS got to change THAT STUFF GOT TO CHANGE...You either collect some money from all of you all chiping in and make a line of novels with easier language or you bribe existing book writters into writing easier books with easier language, i dont know but that problem needs to be address...You know in Britain is hard to read a British novel and yet we are talking about English...Dude HOW MANY NOVELS people read in their lifetime those that like to read? 30 or 40 or 60...How many different books/novels are out there? 1 billion? 50 billion...And many people can't read books/novels because they are too hard and because they dont got the time...Many of you will say: Oh i know big words...Really if you do or did why didnt you go to a SpellingBee ....Right...

Not only that College is getting harder which i think is going to make more aspiring writers to write books with even HARDER words...

Dude i dont know how you are going to solve that problem but it needs to be solve...Not only in the USA but around the world...

If there are 8 things i'll like to do forever is: Be a porn star but of regular hot chicks , Read all the books in the library and just dedicate myself to reading books OR Create a Prediction website/lotto research OR Research how to find the eternal fountain of youth, or go to college forever and learn all the classes forever OR Work in a Hospital OR competing in a laptop typing competition like a typing lotto [but you can't do it because you get carpal syndrome] OR the other one is too graphic for this site, OR been an Astronaut or a Mathematician....

Anyways dude going back to the books: THAT PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SOLVED ....

Dude too many big words impedes knowledge, you know you can't learn from the British culture because books from there are loaded with big words, you can't learn anything....This reminds me of math, you know what's the HUNGER around the world to know MATH ....yet 02% of the global population know math because is to hard as hell....Dude MATH REMINDS ME OF POWERBALL ....Who in their right mind will attempt it...Dude you know those thick calculus book? They sit there collecting dust, because nobody reads them...

Also on another note to a small population readers of the USA who like Fantasy novels i'll like to tell you the following...I know many of you will like to gather and each one chips in some money placed in the bank and with the money write more fantasy books/novels who wouldn't but the problem is that they have too many big words...

You know reading novels is like eating food...well there are food that contain greasy fat or contain something that is bad for you, the same thing with novels, it got too many words that are too hard and are bad for you it impedes learning...

But let the chipping in be a 1 time payment of 2 or 3 dollars, half the price of a novel...YOu dont have money to be throwing around...
