How much Faulkner can you read in an hour? Like, one sentence, right?
So like 15 - 20 pages then.
True story, my HS English teacher used to give me run-on sentence awards. Then we read Faulkner and I called BULLSHIT.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, time is pretty open for me since I set my own schedule. If we`re doing regular days of the week, Thursdays and Fridays are best for me, although obviously not during this upcoming holiday. Then any odious tasks will be offset by the resulting delicious foodstuffs, so motivation unnecessary!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I can do 11 am maybe. Might be able to finish the book. The last chapter is more readable than the early ones but geez. Apparently a character killed himself and I completely missed that until I read the wikipedia entry on the book.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, let's try it for this Thursday then at the hours I suggested.
I'll post something in Press to see if anybody else wants to play along. And if it turns out to be a good practice we can make it regular or semi-regular, or whatever works.

Always Anti-fascist!
It's not exactly onerous, but I'm having a hard time getting it up for my NaNo novel. And I refuse to glower in their girlie forums and make someone else hate me "on sight" I like this idea...it's vastly improved. But that's still not enough to counteract the voice in my head that's all "Nobody's going to read this...save the carpel-tunnel for your sex life."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK. I just made my coworker try to get me out of my bad mood, and now I am marginally less likely to growl, "Fuck off" at everyone who walks by me.
I guess that's a start.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It could be worst, bon. You could be reading As I Lay Dying. IIRC, what you missed is implied, but not spelled out.
I'm game, Hec. The problem would be to pick among the many onerous things I'm not doing.
