Besides Shakespeare, were you assigned more than one book by the same author in school? K-12, not college. @bookstodon

@bookstodon @albnelson @BackFromTheDud Yes, Orwell. Maybe also Mark Twain. We read Huck Finn, but also a set of short stories.

1 Benadryl cream for the 50 mosquito bites acquired at a recent backyard party.

2 My athletic uncle moved from feeling healthy, to chest pain, to quadruple bypass within 48 hours. Yikes. 🤯 🤞

3 I’m finding the jury instruction procedures fascinating. Thanks for the live tooting, @GottaLaff and @Nonilex

@Nonilex @GottaLaff Yes. I guess fast treatment, and a good prognosis is the good part.

Just finished The Book of Living Secrets by Madeleine Roux. Starts as a cute YA novel, pretty quickly gets creepy as hell. A fun concept with some well-integrated Lovecraftian motifs that are seriously twisted. Quite enjoyable. @bookstodon

We’ve talked about not finishing books, which I have no problem doing. There are some books, that I know I will give another shot at some point. This is one such book. I’m thinking I stopped b/c something else grabbed my attention or was more pressing (ie. library book, etc-which is actually a poor excuse b/c I always have library books in).

  1. Has anyone read this?
  2. Do you have a book you DNF, but came back to later on?

@masayuki60 @Likewise @bookstodon Same. I'm waiting for the right mood in order to start it.
