seriously, nothing? What is eveyrone's excuse for not amusing me? I'm drunk so it' wouldn't even take that much!! Whatever with Seth. He's only interested in what you're reading. I'M READING SETH! I'M ALWAYS READING!
Greatchen when I got off the bus (remember that niceconversantion we had about pouring refried beans on my underpants?) Well some lady went coocoo on me! She said hi, I said hi (aparently to low) so... she starts yelling at me that why I don't say hello back... and some other stuff that I didn't catch... then she asked me if I tought she was crazy?... I still don't know who she was =( I only like it when my cousin scream at me in public... she starts complaining about the child support money that I never gave her... and start calling the names ofmy 5 kids and if am about to beat her in public like I do on the house.. is fun!
hahah. Thanks Fonoso. Now THAT was amusing! What the fuck is wrong with the rest of you people I don't know. I'm on the east coast so it's early to the rest of you people.
Bunny me and the boys talking shit here... we have a question... but we caan only ask it if you promised not to get mad...
If you have to make that statement, then you probably shouldn't ask, you know what the outcome will be.
Feisty Gretchen!!
I hate how while I was on a date last night my sister texted me that she hates how I always hide things when I'm "seeing" someone. Oh Lord. It is not about her, except it really is, in her mind. Ugh. If you are reading this, and we used to date, just know that your existence was a real stress in Lisa's life.
I hate how when I'm eating eggs or dairy, I'll sometimes get a twinge of how gross it is while I'm eating it. I feel like I need to hold on to these last animals-based parts of my diet, but even typing this sentence has made that harder.
I hate how I have to go back to work tomorrow morning. Christmas Break, you have been amazing.
I hate doing dishes.

I hate how I am going to go buy another new book even though I have 74320987 unread ones on my shelves. I hate how I finished my book this morning (Nabokov, solid) and I've wasted all day wondering what to read next and, of course, decided on something that I haven't purchased, yet. Unlike the three I bought yesterday.
Oh, I love it. I just decided to read Updike's last book of short stories, next, and I can't be derailed. But I will do your method when I get back from the book store because usually when I read short stories, I read something else at the same time. I like spacing out the short stories.
You know what is so awesome? I'm going to go buy that book and it's pretty and has a swell cover and then I'm going to go buy a thyme iced tea at Stumptown on Belmont and the combination is going to give me joy.
I just ordered Code of the Woosters on amazon yesterday, Seth. I hesitate to tell you when I start reading, but you'll see it on my update, of course. :)
Well, I'd have to wait for the Wodehouse to get here, and I got free shipping, so...I wanted that one to be my first. Everyone says it's their favorite. I just don't want to be let down. It'll break my heart.
Thanks, Seth. I think I will, too.
I kind of like that method, Seth! I usually don't have too many unread books around because I'm a library girl but they have started to accumulate recently. The next time I have to pick what to read that's how I'm going to do it.

The books I have around are rarely here because I bought them and then turned my back. Mostly someone has given them to me.

Thanks!
Okay, Seth. Here are my five I'd been neglecting to want to read, abc order:
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy
In the Woods by Tana French
Personal Days by Ed Park*
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
*I bought this based on a goodreads review back in '97, I think.
Thanks!

I'm going to look them up on goodreads and see what my friends have rated them.
Haha!
I actually realized that each of these purchases was based on a review from goodreads, so these are the people to hold responsible.
Bel Canto--Amanda
Dud Avocado--RBN. He's gone, now.
In the Woods--Kasia
Personal Days--Someone from the good old days of goodreads who I forgot.
The Secret History--karen

And now that I've read the whole thread...I think I'll go look for Wodehouse. You're impossible Seth. You got Greatchen. And now you dragged Sarah over to the dark side. I need to know what all the fuss is about.
Haha, Gretchen!
The problem with goodreads is that at least one of your friends that you respect hates every book. It only takes one bad review to throw me off.

He didn't get me to read Wodehouse, Kasia. Wodehouse did in the Paris Review Interviews that I just read. I knew Seth liked him, though. I've actually wanted to read Wodehouse ever since Frankie did in Angela's Ashes.
Okay, I narrowed my choices down to The Secret History and The Dud Avocado and flipped for it and Dud won. Hope it's not one.

Seth, you should start your dictator bookclub where you pick 100 books and everyone has choose from them and discuss them and all those rules. You can boss people around about their "currently reading" shelves and we can amuse ourselves by not living up to your expectations. It'll be great.
Do you think that would satisfy you? You may as well just do a shelf like that. (or do you already have one?) To me it seems you would want to keep track of what everyone was reading and how long it was taking them.
