I agree about Child 44. It makes me wish I was reading a book more about the time period than a thriller. But I am looking forward to the movie!

I felt the same way about The Once and Future King. I read The Sword in the Stone as a child and loved it, and loved it just as much rereading it as an adult. The other books were a bit of a slog, and never reached the same highs of invention as the first, in my opinion.

I'm reading The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao currently, but just finished The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing and The Wonder Spot by Melissa Bank. I was astounded to find that they were the exact same book.

That's not what the headline read!

Manitoba saucecake. I almost called 272 about that.

You don't know how old I am Internet!! You don't know me!

I blue myself every time Buster opened his mouth.

Yeah. Coach coach.

Oh god the jacket that said COACH COACH.

Walk with dignity you giant toddler!

Game of Thrones was in Hurley's mind.

They go to work in an arcade called "Game of Thrones".

My mother and I have never spoken of the incident. Her English isn't that great to begin with either, so I figured we'd just leave it in the "Weird Things White People do From Time to Time" column along with Thanksgiving.

Goddammit I thought this was the True Detective newbie thread!

Cosmo once told me to toss some cracked pepper in my guy's face just as he's coming…so I'd beg to differ.

And they remember when they lived on an island and then we lose a plane over Malaysia—oops too soon?

After the nuclear apocalypse, it will just be the cockroaches. And hula-hooping Peter Dinklage.

I have the best From Dusk til Dawn story that no one will ever read now.

I never have a problem with different nudity.

Jon Snow wakes up in a blind panic, sweat drenching his sheets. Outside sirens blare, and beside him, a blonde woman who bears a striking resemblance to Daenerys Stormborn lies naked. He presses the heel of his hand to his head.
