The official "Tell me what to read next" thread / Jim and Janine vs. Janice

[RandomAnthony]

I haven't read The Hunger Games but everyone seems to like it. Stardust is good but not my favorite Gaiman. Never heard of the last one.

[~Geektastic~]

Stardust is a good choice, and it's pretty short so you'll be on to the next book pretty quickly.

[Janice]

Barb, get off your duff and read The Forgotten Garden already! Sheesh!

(Is that a strong enough order?)

[Sally, la reina]

How does a thread attain official status?

[janine]

don't listen to janice! what does she know? get to the hunger games! stat!

[Sarah]

Stardust and Hunger Games are both great. You could save Stardust a couple of years and read it to your kids.

[Lila]

Read The Forgotten Garden.

[Sally, la reina]

Hee hee. Fuckers. Barb ain't takin' NO shit today!

[Jammies]

Stardust is completely meh, read one of the others.

[Sally, la reina]

OMG. Enough with this mamby pamby bullshit. Read The Goon Squad.

[Sally, la reina]

Not at you Jammies, you're the least mp of them all.

[Jammies]

I'm not sure if I should thank you or send my second to call on you.

[Sarah]

The Hunger Games is great, Barb.

[Sally, la reina]

I have to choose from your list? I'm thinking outside the box, Canadian.

[Janice]

I know that my name is before yours in the alphabet so my order should be heeded first! *sticks tongue out*

[janine]

but i'm a mod!

*puts on mod hat*

[Sally, la reina]

::runs to the mod hat thread to see what The Dutch's hat looks like::

[Jim]

Hunger Games Barb!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't make come up nort and get all Wisconsiny on you.

[janine]

i'm wearing my serious hat.

[janine]

if it's necessary i'll wear the dress too!

[Sarah]

If Janice gets all dolled up too you may need to have a walk-off like in Zoolander. Model a model.

[janine]

i will crush the competition with my giant chair.

(i have never seen zoolander, i may lose)

[Jim]

It's a good thing j9 and I are recommending the same book, otherwise I would have been forced to make the I'll wear the dress too comment.

[janine]

you could still do it to support me.

[Sally, la reina]

I can't help it but I'm imagining Jim inside your dress supporting you very literally.

[janine]

jim! get out of the dress now!

[The Ficus]

Pssst: Jim! C'mere. I'll protect you.


::scootches in front of Jim::

[Jim]

Thanks Ficus, I get myself in the worst predicaments sometimes.

[Félix]

Hunger Games? Is it any good?

That is not a good dress for Jim at all.

This is not a typo, they really do say "nort" up there.

My hat is meaner.

[Janice]

Be afraid! Be very afraid! A-HA-HA-HA. It's Friday the 13th, and all things are possible.

[Sally, la reina]

Thanks, LG, for reminding us how unoriginal and unofficial every TC thread really is.

I'm afraid of Janice now ... she seemed so nice.
I think I'm gonna go with The Hunger Games, but so Janice doesn't kick my ass, I'll do Forgotten Garden after that.
Thanks peeps."

*sticks tongue out at janice, from a safe distance*

[Janice]

*grumble*

[Jaimie]

Is the copy of Stardust you have the novel or graphic novel form?
