Hey man, don't try to put labels on what is going on with me and my books PhotoJim Send a noteboard - 23/09/2009 01:03:52 PM
I like to practice free love with my books. I'll almost always have a couple books going.

My wife asked my, "How can you start another book when you are still reading two others?"
"Easy." I explained. "You watch Bones right?"
"Yes" she nodded not knowing where I was going with this.
"You also watch Survivor, Fringe, and football on Sundays." I continued. "And I'm more than willing to bet that if a new episode of Chuck came out, you would be glued to the screen right now."
She tried to tell me that it was different somehow. I don't see how. Episodes vs. chapters. Often at the end of each you are left wondering what comes next.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

Not to be rude but who are you? And I suppose equally important, where are we?
