Xanth I read for a long time as a kid before giving up. I knew it was shit, but read it cause I will excuse a lot for bad puns. Eventually the misogny got to be too much for me, but it took me longer than it should. See extreme fondness for bad puns.
Gor - I think I got 30 pages into one before throwing it against a wall.
yes Kat all brick. That is virtually all there is, a few siding, but I tend to not like siding.
You know the prices of those houses is killing me.
I have the antidote for that: [link]
The Lovely Bones was my favorite book in the last 10 years (of stuff written in the last 10 years).
I liked it, but I was really annoyed that the inside cover blurb gave away the climax of the book. That colored my experience, I think. Although I'm not sure that I would have felt differently about said climax had I not been vaguely expecting it. I read it a few years ago, so, like ita, my memory of it is hazy. I own it, though, for some reason. In hardcover, even. It may have been a dollar or free or something.
It's so odd to see brick after years of none!
I too like the first house in the expensive group.
I'm home sick this PM.
I don't even bother torturing myself with house prices in ex-Bay Area.
I used to look at house prices near me, and even went to one open house. No more. I can't imagine what could happen in my life to make my neighbourhood a possibility.
I hope you're not too under the weather, Kat.
I'm hoping I didn't know there was a Gor movie.
I took Nyquil AND a sleeping pill last night and I was still up every 45 minutes.
Please let my car start and not do another routine like it did this morning.
