There'll be plenty of fat and sugar in my diet AND my reading material.

Oh, READING resolutions!
Actually, I plan on pushing myself to review more indie authors in 2016. Everyone has been kind to me, and it seems like a nice way to return the favor.

Very admirable. There are a lot of really good indie authors out there, many of them in The Humour Club. It's always nice when they can get some attention.

I would like to complete my list of Humor club authors I have in my collection. After that, I don't know. The big resolution is to get back to writing. This time to do it only for my own amusement.
Mod
NOOOOOOO!!! Good Lord, Rodney, we've seen the things that amuse you!

Hard to tell, but that's a bold smiley face + abject apologies. I just couldn't resist the joke, my friend.
The best things in life are eat $h1t and die sarcasm. I would have laughed at that either way.
Mod
Yeah. Right.
As found on https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/6...Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it." Jeanette Winterson (Quote of the Day for August 27)

I'm amazed at how few people appreciate the 'Joy of Sarcasm.' I think it's one of the best facets of humor, and let's be honest, life's too short to take everything literally!
For myself, I only have a mild sarcastic streak that starts at the top of my head, runs through every major organ, and ends six or eight inches below my feet. Makes me wonder if the sarcasm gene somehow self-replicates.
Oscar Wilde — 'Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.'Not everyone is capable of appreciating it.
The awkward moment when your sarcasm is so advanced that people actually think your stupid.

I have this recurring nightmare that I'm suddenly able to resist the gravitational force and walk past a bookstore without being drawn in to drop $50.

Love the quote, and I empathize completely with the obsession part!

"We have to forcibly resist bookstores or we would be more destitute that we are now. There have been times when we rerouted our GPS to avoid the temptation, as it's seldom as small as $50 if we're drawn in.
I'm echoing everyone, I think, except Joel. (I've read ALL Maugham's short stories, which might explain why one of the places on my dream list is to live is the South Pacific. I think I'll look good in flowered pareus.). I resolve to read the physical and eBooks piled up around me before buying more and I resolve to read what I want not what everyone keeps telling me I need to read. Oh, and I resolve to finish writing HAIR OF THE DOG.
