In the who's the dad pic, I like the mouth-open look on (what you can see of) the kid's face. Just looked up from his cell, hasn't yet quite figured out the imminent danger.
The ironicalish thing 'bout the book thread is, as interesting as it can be, it makes me want to turn off the computer and go sit down with my latest dead trees read.
What's that smell? Ah! The book thread.
All Hail Eris #161: How does the good professor access books on the top shelves?
Morning, bookies! Storms threatening here in NE OK, thunder making the dog nervous, but mostly still only partly cloudy with just a brief sprinkle earlier. Nice Spring morning.
I read a book once. Just to see how those things work.
Morning, Glories in the reading room!
no good deed #121: ...He just found the Animorph series...
Milady and I enjoyed reading those along with our kids when they first came out.
Just finished the post and heading into comments.
Most memorable line from the post:
I'm just going to copy and paste the e-mail because I'm lazy...
As a related (kind-of, maybe) piece to "On Publishing and Book Scarcity," something I recommended in the book thread this morning. (Was it only this morning? What a long day.)
Mindful webworker, I try tag the Moron written books that I've been able to blog about.
Though not an exhaustive list, you can see them.at
Sometimes I think it's best if I just didn't comment and only read the comments.
Celia Hayes: ...Luna City Chronicles....
That's the one I was trying to remember!
Mindful, there is Celia Hayes books. Also Voter Mom.
Anna Puma: Moron written books
So there I was, wandering alone in the morning thread when I realized why.
That's... some library! Looked it up...
Lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk
Ding! caught up!
Whoop. Time to go to the dentist.
No comments for me this morning! Just this mess.
I just realized, we didn't start the book thread with a library photo. How long has it been since that happened?
Or was it just too hard to top the Vatican?
Morning, glorious fellow citizens and sundry!
My day's just starting, and I'm hundreds of comments and a handful of headlines behind. (Puts on speed-reader helmet.)
Been reading the comments off-and-on while doing other things. Up to #350 so far. Gonna stick with it, even if the horde and posts have moved on, 'til I get to the bottom.
Nice paintin'.
For some reason, it seems I read faster when I go backward through the comments.
sugar plum fairy: Now, to read the comments. ..
At a certain point, you'll be glad if you wear your asbestos leotards.
Massena: Man, doesn't seem like a lot of book talk in the book thread this week....
Vatican library - holy smokes!
Morning, bookthreadists.
(Book threadists or bookth readists?)
Milady read aloud to me the following from "Go Set a Watchman." I thought I'd pass it along for reasons that the quote should make obvious -- sorry if it's overlong for a comment.

Buzzsaw: This thread is starting to smell of overly tenderized dead horse.
CBD: I always make pulled pork with it......
Wait, what? Maybe I'm reading too fast...?
Pets fed. Also myself.
Oh, man! Went looking for aforementioned Reagan political cartoon book. Didn't find it, but realized...
Maetenloch: ...But a few years after college I ended up reading them again and found them much more interesting and meaningful.
That book list - isn't it cheating to have a "20 books" list with Lord of the Rings (usually pubished as three books, although I have a combo copy, and intended by the author as SIX?) and, especial
When I think of "life-changing books," I relate it to Jesus' saying one must be "born again."
