I just need to work on my will power is all.  Just as soon as I kick the heroin.

I'm taking a slight detour to read Scott Pilgrim vol. 4.

Sorry, folks, it's my most favoritest comic ever and I've been waiting a year and a half for this issue. It'll only take me like a day and a half to read it the necessary three times, and then I'll be back on track with TBOLT.

Which, by the way, is pretty good so far, and I haven't even gotten to any of the good stuff yet. Unless I have.
But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun, count every beautiful thing we can see...

Ha, I learned my lesson after last time.  I can guess what you wrote, but I'm not gonna give in and look to make sure.  I'm really not.  I'm— Dammit!

I bought a copy of the book last night.  It's third in my queue.  What date is the discussion supposed to start again?

I think you've got 2 weeks to go before discussion starts.  I'm a slow reader and still it was a quick read.


edit: Deadline for reading was set for Dec. 7th.

I'm trying to be done by the 4th, it's when I have to bring it back to the library. I'm guessing I'll have a lot of time to read this weekend what with the holiday and all. It's pretty good so far. I really dig how the kid's idiosyncracies are written. I can totally empathize.

I've been very bad.  Haven't picked up the book in a week.  I'll try to finish it by Thanksgiving

done! It didn't make me cry, but it did make me melancholy
Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist.  Throw some ground balls.  More democratic.
