Books I regret reading Based on user votes.
Guess which series has the top three books?
Moby Dick?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.
Early ,'Objects In Space'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, if I do not seriously crack down on my work (realistically, let's say tomorrow), I am TOTALLY SCREWED.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
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?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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!

Could someone please come here to my home and explain to my dogs that just because I am working from home, it doesn't mean that I am here to entertain them??!
