No wonder so many people think they're smarter than they actually are. They just have to buy the books! ;)

First!

Hey, I think this is my first, first too! :)

I can not express how happy I am to be reading again!!!!

Thank you Abigail Hilton! I am 10 chapters (13% - approx. 83 pages) into The Prophet of Panamindorah, a complete trilogy.

I also want to thank my MR/GR family for their encouragement and support. Only fellow readers can possibly understand the frustration caused by a prolonged reading slump!

Thank you hon. :)

One should really not attempt to end a 6 month reading drought with a book like The King of Elfland's Daughter.

Floridly verbose and dense! I didn't make it past the first chapter...

The drought continues, but at least my interest is increasing.

Some of the episodes of some of the shows are frightening!

SUV was one of my favorites before I left satellite.
I remember there being an episode or two dealing with Olivia undercover that were serious triggers for me. I think I cried most of the night.
