I love the Count of Monte Cristo. Although I'm not sure I would think to list it as a favorite.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've never read Count of Monte Cristo. I've seen the movie, but I don't really remember much of it except that it had sword fights and people climbing things.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's 4 if you're leaving out a whole sentence.
Goddammit, Ginger, now you are making me look through ALL my damned style guides. I'm like Pavlov's freaking grammar-sniffing dog.
Ooh, I need to catch up with Revenge; I was going to do that the other night, and was distracted by finishing Sherlock. I only worked for 42 minutes today! It's almost like a weekend!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Yay, sj!
I'm really hesitant to eliminate someone based on an online profile. Sure, it helps to see whether you've got things in common, but it also may eliminate some really cool people.
DH is not a reader. He tolerates books at best, but he doesn't care if I bury myself in them. We have very basic values in common, but are very divergent in interests, though hockey was the reason we got together. He's brought me into the aviation world, and I would have missed out on that otherwise. Yes, we do fight--about money mostly--and I know you all remember our drama, but I was just as complicit in creating it as he was.
He's not religious, and I'm culturally Catholic more than anything, but I tend to fall back on it during bad times (c.f. cancer diagnoses in 2010-2011). He doesn't understand it, but he accepts it. I accept the fact that the only time I'll get him into a church is for our wedding and my funeral.
Eh, I'm rambling. I guess I'm just reluctant to miss out on something because it doesn't match my interests. Which also explains why I've never found anything to be truly passionate about.

Not any where near dating , but food is a big part of where I live . I eat almost everything and I like adventure eating ( not live bugs ) so I would miss that , but if I was looking I wouldn't rule out vegetarian
Actually I would have a hard time eliminating a lot of things but non- reader.

I didn't respond to a lot of messages on OKC because I would look at their book list and it wasn't there, or it was shite.
Yeah, I rejected a guy because Twilight was on his list. And I would do it again.
I couldn't get involved with a vegan because I love to cook too much. Of course, there are plenty of vegan things that I could learn to cook, but that would mean that I wasn't cooking the food I liked. I can work with a vegetarian is fine because there are plenty of vegetarian foods that I like, or foods that I can take the meat out of. Of course, he would have to not mind that I ate meat.
My BFF's bro married a vegetarian that won't allow meat in the house. He says that he doesn't mind it because he doesn't eat breakfast, eats lunch at work, and stays late at work 3-4 times a week, so eats dinner at the office. So, they found a way to make it work. Although she says that she'll allow meat in the house when they have kids.
