Iceheart Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My evening routine for the past week or so has been to read 50-100 pages of Game of Thrones while watching the Olympics. My theme is supposed to be circuses this year, not games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the skiff guard Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I don't use bookmarks I force myself to finish whatever chapter/part I am reading and use the chapter break as my place keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyTalker Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Are we still saying random things? "Random things." There. I just said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't use bookmarks I force myself to finish whatever chapter/part I am reading and use the chapter break as my place keeper I try to do this, more because I don't like to leave off in the middle of a scene. And it works pretty well, except for books that don't have chapters, or have chapters that are about 400 pages long. Foiled. Are we still saying random things? "Random things." There. I just said it. Um... you're supposed to have something about books in there, but nice try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceheart Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Just as long as she's not a slut after she... Oh hell. ... after she married Harry, it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Is it bad that I need a deadline to read a book? I found a stack of books I was planning on reading two summers ago, and never did. Why? Because I own them. I can read them whenever. So, they just aren't read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 yesterday I read a book written in the first person plural voice. It was pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Title and author? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown. Definitely worth a read. Not ground breaking, or anything, but it's a good story about the relationships we have with our family and, specifically, our siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the skiff guard Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Tom Robbins wrote a book in the second person titled "Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas" You should check it out! If anyone here has yet to read any Robbins, I highly suggest you do so "Jitterbug Perfume" and "Skinny Legs and All" are excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Back in the 70's, my dad happened on Tom Robbins in a bar, and had a beer with him. True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Katniss is the dumbest assed character name EVER, and no amount of "but it's a flower!" can save it from epic tardation. Ain't nobody calling mofos "Cimicifuga"and yet that's a flower name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
