Connie, I should have known the Hardisons of the e-reader world would have my(messy) back...maybe at Christmas. I still like paper books and will be sad if/when they do not print them anymore, but the e-reader would be nice for things like biographies and books of Matt Taibbi columns...not that Taibbi's work is disposable or anything...just that it's hard to reread election analysis.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, do I want to read The Help or not? I put it on hold at the library a long time ago, and it just came up. I feel like I'm already over the whole controversy thing and am back to not caring about it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I enjoyed The Help quite a lot. I liked the characters and saw way too many of my relatives reflected in them.

I also enjoyed The Help.

Hey. New board.
I thought it was very good, for reasons that had nothing to do with controversy. I say read it.

Because books.
My mom loved it and is desperate for me to read it so we can talk about it, although I think she wanted us to go see the movie together, too. Probably too late for that now. I did like the first chapter I read very quickly.

OK, I'll try it.

My women's group just watched the movie together, so I was thinking about reading to book so I could talk about it, but I am mostly meh.

I am obviously meh, but it is just sitting there waiting for me to take it home for free, so why not?

What the hell? I watch all kinds of movies on cable cause I already paid for them.
