I read a couple of the Gor books when I was a teenager, and thought they were dreck. Having that background did pay off bigtime for enjoying it when MST3K did the movie version, though.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
You know the prices of those houses is killing me.
Me too, Jesse.
Seriously.
Oy. Down to the last few tasks before grades are posted and the semester is over. Why or why has time slowed down?

Xanth I read for a long time as a kid before giving up. I knew it was shit, but read it cause I will excuse a lot for bad puns. Eventually the misogny got to be too much for me, but it took me longer than it should. See extreme fondness for bad puns.
Gor - I think I got 30 pages into one before throwing it against a wall.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yes Kat all brick. That is virtually all there is, a few siding, but I tend to not like siding.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Lovely Bones was my favorite book in the last 10 years (of stuff written in the last 10 years).
I liked it, but I was really annoyed that the inside cover blurb gave away the climax of the book. That colored my experience, I think. Although I'm not sure that I would have felt differently about said climax had I not been vaguely expecting it. I read it a few years ago, so, like ita, my memory of it is hazy. I own it, though, for some reason. In hardcover, even. It may have been a dollar or free or something.

It's so odd to see brick after years of none!
I too like the first house in the expensive group.
I'm home sick this PM.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have the antidote for that:
Heh.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't even bother torturing myself with house prices in ex-Bay Area.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to look at house prices near me, and even went to one open house. No more. I can't imagine what could happen in my life to make my neighbourhood a possibility.
I hope you're not too under the weather, Kat.
I'm hoping I didn't know there was a Gor movie.
