That was fun. Easy when you've read 100 books already this year :P
Very good! Love "Used and Rare." I would have gone with "Genius." ;) 100 books! I'm guessing you don't have a TV (my downfall).
While I don't have a TV, I do watch a lot. I guess I don't have a life, which allows for lots of reading. I DO read on the bus, at lunch, and in the evening for an hour or so too :P.
Of course, my Thought for the Day should be A Parliament OF Women, the Aristophanes play. Rather more rude than I was expecting from an ancient greek playwright. I'd read Sophocles and Euripides beforehand so this was a bit of a shock for my senstivie constitution.
Sounds like you're a very efficient reader. I have a tendency to dawdle and consider the cosmic implications of every sentence.
Soooo you haven't read Lysistrata yet? Better save it for when you're feeling particularly secure in your manhood...
Oh, I've read Lysistrata. The book was a collection of Aristophanes' 'greats'.
SHOCKED I tell you!
:D And people think Sex and the City is shocking!
Those are cool, Sylvia. I love this meme. I think we ought to do it in December every year. :)
Excellent answers! I am going to have to do this one too after I finish my term paper and can think of fun things again :)
Good idea, Susan. I'm in!
Thanks, Stefanie. I look forward to your answers!
