Salinger, John Steinbeck as you can see from my favorite books, but none of you ever bring those books up often or at all. "I haven't read any Ender books or Redwell, reallllly disliked the one Salinger book I read, but I do like Steinbeck... or I've recently discovered I do. :)
But, Salinger and Steinbeck probably don't come up often because this is a SF&F group, as are most of the ones we are in together. Just sayin'.

We "expand our horizons" by interacting here in public groups with new members -- and we make new friends, like Ronald. But some of us have known each other for a long time and like having a place to hang out where it's safe for us to share things we wouldn't share with the general public. My phone number's in that other group. I send Christmas gifts and other gifts to people in that group. Do I want that shit open to the public? No I do not. Sorry you don't have any friends you can share something similar with, but if you got over yourself you might make some..."This, exactly this. I've been through some extremely tragic experiences lately, and I can share it in that group and receive support from friends, and I'm comfortable doing that because it's private. I couldn't share what I went through publicly, and certainly wouldn't want to anywhere you could see.

I still love Martin, but not his Song of Ice and Fire as much just because it has gone too commercial just because of the show, I tried to recommend the books to others back when Feast came out, nobody would read it. Plus I think that is what everybody thinks about when Martin comes to mind, he was an author before Song of Ice and Fire. Just wondering how many out there has read his other works, or even know he wrote other materials others than Song of Ice and Fire. I fear at least to the masses, not many.
Different groups, with different mods, behave...well...differently.
I'm not the rule setter here, or the big cheese, or any of that. I'm just the most addicted to GR so I come off as most vocal.
As such, I figure I can just mod things my way with a light touch on the reigns as it were.
It's not like I'm here smacking folks into line or anything.

I believe that all women have a little bit of vampire in them.

So..you'd definitely say that Dracula has some sexuality in it?

I thought that was just her bright personality.

I knew this girl once. She said she liked Harry Potter a lot before it got popular, but then, when it got popular she decided it was over-rated... Even though, before that, she thought it was great.I wish I was still on that forum with her. I'd bring her here and her and Kevin could go make hipster babies.
ETA: *shudders*
On second thought, nevermind...

I would curse your name, but I can't because of being all banned and stuff.
Also, your dimples kill me.

In my defense, you did not take the hint from Mark.

He did... but I don't know why, exactly. I think there were quite a few personal reasons. *shrug*
Laurel wrote: "@ Kevin,I've enjoyed the Redwall graphic novel, as well as Salinger and Steinbeck. I've never tried the Ender books."
You really should read Ender's Game, its just one of those books that everyone seems to read no matter what. The Redwall graphic novels does not do the series justice, you should at least read one of the books, but the best way to experience it is to here the autor and a full cast read the books on audio.

Strumping! Is that strenuous humping? He did break the headboard, let's not forget. Sounds pretty strenuous to me! Bow chicka wow wow!

I just don't know what is your problem. What Mark said about you was right. I did not believe him at first, but its all coming out.

It's a trap, Nicki. He's just gonna turn around & push Ender's Shadow while insulting people who don't like it. He thinks disliking it is a sign that it's too difficult for most people.

WTF did mark say that was right about Nicki? Do you mean the terrifically strong & bold personalities thing, because I personally took that as an unintended compliment. If you're referring to his recent hit & run in this thread, well, I'm laughing.
Not to mention that I'm pretty sure Nicki doesn't give a damn about your opinion of her.

My major problem is that all of you find it a few laughs at my expense, meaning that all of you don't even take this seriesly. You all think this all a joke and a party that is all fun and whatnot. But it is not to me, its not funny its get annoying, especially you because you started all this. Can't a guy voice his own opinion before you starting jumping to conclusions and bring all your friends with you with the pitch forks and torches. At the end leaving my backs against the walls with no way to run or hide. You are no better than the people in the past who accused others of witchcraft, and I'm the witch.
