i blame whoever mentioned p&p in the first place, so very many pages ago.
was it cherry? :3

ohman, dani, you're crazy.

What? I couldn't read today. I'm in a Anita Blake kick and nothing else will do. What better way to spend a day off then shooting friends in the face with suction cups? xD

PS I think I just got my mom into Anita Blake. Whoops.

*sneaks in* I thought I should leave a note that I am participating in the challenge this time around (finally). But I'm keeping my list in a blog post because otherwise I'll never remember to update it.

List is here

I'll be sure to pop in with updates/book chatter on occassion though!!

@Jenova: A friend and I watched Hot Fuzz today! Then we ran around with Nerf guns jumping and diving. XD

Oh man I wanna do that NOW.
I need to round up some friends and get my Nerf on!
That would be excellently fun.

It was, only don't fly through the air while firing, your shoulder will hurt later. xD

Not unless you are doing this shootout of foam weaponry in a padded asylum cell!
Oh that would be fun!

@dani - i want to play with nerf guns D:
also, way to get your mom into awesomeness. i have a hard enough time getting mine to read the harry potter books.

@fiarra - yaaaaay another person! <3
come play with us.

ps.
oh shiznap. it's gonna take a while for me to read p&p. ;_;
i'm on chapter five and it's taken me a few days. (this is actually very sad, but partially attributed to my unwillingness to read at all.)
not because the language is difficult, but because i actually have to think about what they're saying.
there is a lot of narration describing things that could be described in dialogue, but it seems the dialogue will pick up in the next few chapters, so it should be a bit easier from then on.
and, of course i've already broken the spine. :[
it was that or go insane trying to find a way to lie on my bed without there being shadows on the pages.

Which annoys me seeing as some of the best books i've ever read are either "youth" or picture books. D<

exactly. adults are just too haughty to enjoy books for enjoying books. >:[

ps.
::thrash::
i can't find even what year my copy of the scarlet letter was written. HIGHLY UPSETTING.
this is exactly it, though. "circa early 1900s" my butt. D:<
that could be a span of anywhere from ten years to fifty years. ;_;

pps.
the american library association just made me cry a little bit.
(no, i don't browse their shop for fun, what?)

ppps.
darcy, my man. why'd you do that to her? (and to me, the viewer)
that heated argument, in the rain, no less, could have led up to a great anger make out session.
but nooo, you have to APOLOGIZE for WASTING HER TIME. WTF.
/rant at a fictional character.
in case you didn't realize, i gave up on reading right now.
i'm so exhausted that i'm too hyper to pay attention to reading.

pppps.
why in the world is it SO COLD? i have three blankets and am still cold.

So has anyone else Read the Jaz Parks books by Jennifer Rardin? They're not half bad.. though I think she's copying off Laurell K Hamilton just a little. >.>;

@ tireth and Yreka: I don't know if you all have read any of Philip Pullman's books? All of them are "children's" books (He wrote His Dark Materials, the trilogy of the Golden Compass, Subtle Knife, and Amber Spyglass). One of my favorite books by Pullman has to be Clockwork. Because it's sort of written like Finnegan's Wake; except that it makes sense and is much shorter. But, it the end and the beginning connect like in Finnegan's Wake. I also love the Firework Maker's Daughter. It's adorable!

tirethminet: I'm reading Pride and Prejudice at the minute and it's taking me longer to read it than other books usually do. xD
I'm enjoying it - it's the first time I'm reading it - but I do have to take my time so I can process everything.

ohman, dani, you're crazy.

If you mean a few weeks ago, like, just before Christmas, yes, that was me. xD But if you mean more recently, nope, that was someone else.

Tireth + Yreka: I had no idea Charles Stross was so popular. I just picked up Halting State from the library because it looked interesting. XD

Jenova: I've read the His Dark Materials trilogy and the Sally Lockhart books but I haven't read the books you mentioned there. Might have to add them to the list of books I'll complain my library probably doesn't have!

+ I skipped the chapter on 24 in this book about philosphy in television shows because the author seemed to forget to explain who any of the characters were or how the story connected (despite putting major Buffy spoilers on the first few pages of the whole book).

@feyona - nope, i haven't read them. i still need to get to reading hamilton. @_@

@jenova - the only books of his i've read were the his dark materials trilogy, but i do want to read the others. :3

@springy - yay, we can read it together!
i also have a hard time processing everything. well, i usually have a hard time for regular books (short attention span, again), but p&p is a bit harder.

@cherry - of course i mean before christmas. i'm the one who brought it up again because i couldn't stop watching it. XD

@kat - i haven't read charles stross yet, but i want to.

ps.
ohcrap. i found postsecrets and it distracted me. and it was sad.
