I was having this conversation with a friend earlier this week. She asked me how many books I read in a year and I said about 50 seemed reasonable. She said some article she read talked about a woman who could read 150 books per year. I told her that having goals for reading large numbers of books in a year was…

This is not a "one off mistake". Jared has a history of being terrible on Twitter.

I agree. Recently I upgraded my Kindle Keyboard to a Paperwhite. I loathe the feature at the bottom that tells me how many more minutes are in the chapter/book.
It makes me feel horribly anxious while I am reading. I probably read 5-6 books per week (all across the spectrum from crap to quality) and I don't need my…

Agree. When I was younger I was so consumed with being able to read fast and better than others (which I defined as faster) that I developed terrible reading comprehension. To this day I have to read most things multiple times to make sure I actually read for understanding.

Exactly. I would argue that the best reading is that which is done deliberately—either for pleasure or for the purposes of study. We have the most to gain when we allow ourselves to sit with the text for a while.

Yes. People kept trying to pass it off as "drag queen joke cuz he was DRAG racing!" but no. It was lame and terrible and ugh.

Sadly, the competitive part of me is sometimes like "OH YEAH, well I'LL SHOW YOU" and then I don't know half of what's going on in my book.

Your comment reminds me that my Kindle app now tells me, since it's apparently analyzing my speed, how much time it should take me to finish the chapter I'm reading. It's now just like my GPS with a predicted destination time.

Perfect use of a gif. You win 10000points.

Plus think about all the drinking you have to squeeze in between turning those pages.

Yes! One thing I love about Indian fast food (be it Western chains or local places) is there are always vegetarian options. My Indian friends always tease me for taking my American friends/family to McDonalds when they're here in India but Americans don't get the McSpicy Paneer Wrap or the McAloo Tikki. Damn, now I…

Then be prepared to revisit this heartbreaker and become a teary mess.

Clap. Clap. Clap. Perfect. Just perfect.

I'm sorrah! It's the Super Bowl and I am 4 beers in.....

I don't feel so good.

Yeah, something to the effect that she was hot without make-up. hahah, he's a girl, yadda yadda.

That sounds like something Dean from the Gilmore Girls would say. He's just still pissed off that Rory, like any sensible teenage/early college girl, thought that Jess Mariano was a more interesting catch than the grocery bagger with the bowl haircut and the stand-up attitude.

yooooooo. this is Jared Padalecki, Sam from Supernatural. I had no problem with Jared until now— unreal. He deleted the tweet obviously, but seriously?!

This made me tear up, for sure. But what is with people using hashtags in death tweets? I don't know what it is, but it bugs the hell out of me.

You use the school lunch story to demonstrate your point that there are more important things in life? And save Syria for the end? Isn't the school lunch story trivial and incidental when compared to Syria? Have you not hypocritically demonstrated the point that you're attempting to shame other people for?
