I didn't like Maus because it made cats the bad guys.

A great book by and about an Asian-American is Typical American by Gish Jen.

I'll check it out. I used to read every eating disordered themed book I could get my hands on, but most of them are not just not good, but amongst the worst books I've ever read awful.

Read Gone Girl.

I read that a couple of months ago. I loved it too!

Yeah, in one of the Friday Night Lights comments sections someone from Texas said that high school football was all some of those towns had left.

My mom is doing that too. She's working her way through Dickens now.

I'm almost done rereading Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson. I first read it a few years ago and I bought it not long ago when it was on sale for Kindle. I'm liking it better this time around. I think it's my favorite eating disordered themed fiction book. Though that's not a high bar. Why are most eating disorder…

Near where I grew up there is a school with Hobos for a mascot. They were even immortalized by Mental Floss.

I'm so sorry.

I love polka dots.

My cousin went to high school with her. Despite it being a very good private school, she says that McCarthy was stupid even then.

Why does everyone forget Harold Lloyd?

Random thread: My mom and I took the tests to be on Who Wants to Be Millionaire. She passed the general test (I didn't) and I passed the movie test (she didn't).

You should've made it a potluck and then it would've been even cheaper.

My mom claims that when she lived in Michigan she used to pick up Canadian channels that showed porn late at night.

I know, right?

Have either of you ever actually watched a Lifetime movie?

This totally needs a new version. The first movie was terrible and not-at-all true to the book.

Um, aren't cops supposed to endanger themselves? I see cops on TV bitching and moaning about how "dangerous" there jobs are and how they "put their lives on the line" all the fucking time.
