'Just Rewards (2)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You The Lovely Bones people are crazy. I just wish I could remember enough about the damned book to be able to back up my entirely valid and reasoned point.
I did consume it through books on CD, which might alter things. All that persists clearly was my massive annoyance.
I haven't read as much as I should have over the past decade, but I'm pretty sure Nalo Hopkinson ranks up there, and Neil Gaiman.
I skimmed over how few votes many (nay, all) of those books got. I toss out their results! Bah!
Solstice baby!
Books I regret reading Based on user votes.
Guess which series has the top three books?
Moby Dick?
OK, if I do not seriously crack down on my work (realistically, let's say tomorrow), I am TOTALLY SCREWED.
I can't think of any books I regret reading because I'll stop if I'm not enjoying it, the last being The Time Traveler's Wife. I was so bored.
ita, I really loved the humanity in that book. The amount of forgiveness and acceptance of loving people for who they are overwhelmed me. I remember being so thankful for the inherent and implicit goodness of that book.
I don't know if that would change on cd. I can't deal with audible books because the reader either talks too slowly or too quickly. I am picky! I get annoyed by voices too. About the only one I like is David Sedaris reading from his stuff.
Thanks guys. I think I might go with the DNA charm, but there's also a cute microscope charm. Bleh. I hates shopping.
ita, did you see Scifiwire's list of the 18 Best "bladed" weapons (I would have said "edged") in Science fiction movies and tv?

Some mp3 players let you vary the speed without shifting the pitch.
I hated tons of books that my old book group chose, especially one of the books about a painting going through time/different peoples' hands? Girl in Hyacinth Blue? Gawd it was so awful. I marked some of the atrocious passages and read them aloud to my book group. One particularly nasty passage was about an 11-year-old girl, writing in the first person, talking about her underwear feeling moist? OH HELL NO.

I seem to remember that, but by the time I was using an iPod and Audible.com, I was already too annoyed by the voices. And I had stopped commuting so much!
