Couple is relative, it was probably around 4-5 hours.

My family was in an RV driving down from Ontario to the Grand Canyon, so I had plenty of free time with little distractions.

I attempted "War of the Worlds" today and I simply can't stand the writing style. I'm going to pass on this one. Instead, I'm going to start on "Wheel of Time" I know from several recommendations that this series is quite good. Now, its time to find out!

I get to read Chem notes because my school starts a week early.

Calculus+Chem in one symmester = suffering.

I'm about to start reading:

'Beau Brummell: The Ultimate Dandy' by Ian Kelly.

It's a sort of historical biography and I'm hoping it will give me something of a foot in the door to start writing this year's dissertation for my History degree. I've had it since the start of July but I can't bring myself to start thinking about thinking again......

If anyone recommends me a book that they're sure will make me cry, and I do, they get 5 dollars through PayPal. I've read alot of books, alot of sad books as well, and I've never come close. I mean they're just books.

o_frenchtoast · 08-31-2006, 04:18 AM

The Little Train that Could.

It's touching.

i'm personally into 'Tamrielic Lore' atm.

o_dancingfool · 09-01-2006, 01:12 AM

Yeah those books are actually pretty sweet. I've gotten into the habit of translating Ayeleid writings. I also like reading books about the 3 Eras. You should read "The Lusty Argonian Maid". Quite arousing actually.
