Oh, crap, I forgot -- reason #1 I have to go to the grocery store today is that I'm out of milk. And cheese. I'm afraid I'll have no snack at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hated The Lovely Bones. It is an odd list, though. There are two Gor books on it. Not that I don't regret reading all of the Gor books I read (okay, so it took me almost as long to stop reading Gor as it did Xanth), but I wonder at the demographic that gets two of them in the top hundred. Also one a Christopher Tolkien-edited JRRT sequel.
Guess which series has the top three books?
The order changed between the first and the second time I looked. The Da Vinci Code has crept to 3. I haven't read any Meyer, but damn, do I regret Da Vinci. I wonder at the Color Purple people. I understand Beloved was difficult and confusing, but The Color Purple? Really? That was good reading!
Let me stop.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Someone must have signed the kids up for a magazine subscription. It's Focus on the Family's Clubhouse, Jr. I have no idea who gifted it but I'm sort of annoyed. I haven't read the content of the magazine yet, but the materials we got does say they include bible stories. If this was my MiL, I'm going to have to suck it up and deal. I may just have to chuck it into the recycling bin as soon as it comes in.

Like if you read the first two Twilight books and regretted reading them, what would make you think reading the third one was a good idea?
Maybe they aren't the same people. And never mind what I said about Gor and Xanth.

I've read very few of the books on that list, I'm kind of glad to say. And only one of those I have would rise past "didn't like" to "regret reading."

VAT is on goods and services. Some things are exempt (medical, etc.), but you have to agree to a minimum VAT to join the EU. The actual rate can vary from country to country.
