My favorite bookstore is long gone, so, no vote: Lewis Meyer's on Peoria in Tulsa.
Back from finishing First Men in the Moon.
Wells certainly had fun exercising his vivid imagination in creating his lunar universe!
Y'know what? Instead of reading the post and the comments right now, I'm going to sit down and read those last two short chapters of HG Wells's First Men in the Moon.
Of all my Christmas gifted books, as I predicted, I started with HG Wells's First Men in the Moon.

Wow, my toenails were starting to look like some swami's - the kind that never clip them. All trimmed up now. Ready for 2016.
I finally get to the bottom of the last thread, and I find out that it was dead almost before I started reading it. And it wasn't even all that interesting.
Late to the party: The "Animorphs" series were what finally got him interested again. Kid heroes (boys and girls), crime fighting, low-level sci-fi.
This book thread has taken some very strange turns.
Heh.
Back from reading the morning thread, feeding the pests, and other chores.
Hey, wait, I haven't even finished reading Vic's news yet...!
But I do have bookish stuff. Back in a bit. (You've been warned.)
What, more trees?
Morning, Glories, except it's afternoon now I guess back east.
Bookshelves overflowing and hard drives jammed full. All I want for Christmas is more storage space, physical and virtual! Well, not all...

Packing & moving books is always weird ... no longer literature - gateway to knowledge and adventure - they are reduced to blocks...
Sherry, nice to hear about the Tulsa library. As a kid, I used to spend a lot of time in the old B'ville library. Great place. Not so impressed with the modern one.
OregonMuse: And you know, Monty is the cob who originally started the book thread.
Ah, no, I didn't know that. So, he gets a pass. :-)
A book thread on Thursday? Or is this the not-book thread? And not Doom? I'm so confused. But, then, I just got up and haven't had coffee yet.
Seamus Muldoon: (Hope she enjoys it- let me know)
Lea: What is up with Missouri lately? this is uncomfortably close to Arkansas...
And Oklahoma.

Two weeks ago, I iggerently re-posted Milady's review of a book instead of the one I meant to. So, before today gets away from me, here's her review.
BTW, Seamus, I've been meaning to mention that the other day, after reading the sample chapter on your website, I ordered To Save Us All From Ruin while it was, ahem, within our budget range
OM, I really appreciate your style of discussion that connects themes and casually incorporates the book links. Almost makes books seem like a normal part of life!

I'm not here yet. I'm not here yet. I'm not here yet. I'm not here yet.
I'm still finishing up reading the last thread. I'll be here soon. Just knew you'd want to know.
Caught up m/l on comments. I see there's no new post yet. (But this one just got expanded!)
Must be time to feed the pests.

The one being Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Milady told me.
I stand with Tom, in any case.

An Ace article I could actually get all the way through before the AADD kicked in! Well, almost all the way through.
