Lowballing. Heh. Heh.

And you might take up playing guitar someday. That, and the meds might help with your stupidity on the subject.

We're four already and now we're steady and then they went…

Yeah. Some of us like misogyny. Don't judge us!!

Yes, because apparently Pugs was hanged about two years ago.

I really hope Redwall isn't your 42 year-old male neighbor.

Actually, I thought it worked quite well the way it is.

Don't let those biches get you down, Jase. I can see the escapism the books offered (though I was more a Chronicles of Prydain and The Dark is rising kinda kid). I grew up in Florida in the 70s and Xanth was probably full of nicer people.

Bitches, man!

Yeah. You know they call them "e-readers" but they don't read shit. Every time I turn mine on all it does is show the damn words for me to read.

Anathem is sooo underrated! I love the shit out of that book (don't worry, book shit just smells like sawdust). If you take the time to really understand (and maybe research) what the monks are talking about, it's the most mind-blowing thing you'll ever read.

Inbreeding and surveying are apparently incompatible.

For Halloween why not try John Dies at the End? That would be great as an audiobook I think.

That was pretty much my experience of The Fermata as well. I kept thinking I was liking it, but had to admit at the end I didn't.

That's weird, I've thought of October as Zelazny month for more than 25 years. I went for a time re-reading The Chronicles of Amber every October. Now, when the hell is Amazon going to get Zelazny for Kindle??

2666 is definitely exhausting. You are almost constantly aware of the editing it didn't receive. But a beautiful book (or three books if you get an original printing as I did).

Count me in as someone else who really, really liked Telegraph CM. Wonderfully human in the way that Chabon does so well.

So that's what Steve Gutenberg's been doing.

"[P]retty deep seated characterization problems." That sounds a lot like Gone Girl. The characters behave so inconsistently that what was supposed to be slowly revealed about the depths of their depravity becomes "huh?" "what??" "why???" Then Flynn gets herself out of the whole mess by having Nick capitulate (unless…

The Judge might be my favorite literary figure (elemental force?) of all time.
