What are you reading?

[locutus101]

You have a higher post per day count than anyone on this board, and have sustained it every day for about three weeks, nearly 100% of them empty of any content.

No one with a life or job could waste that much time on here without being awake all night as well and spending all of that hitting "post" every couple of minutes.

Let me ask you this. How is the question of whether I have a life, any of your business?

How about if I were a handicapped person, confined to a bed, would it be OK with you if I spent lots of time, doing things that don't require walking for example? Or do you insist on knowing every detail of someone's private life before you leave him the hell alone!!!

LIES AND SLANDER!

It ain't slander if it's true.

I read the first 8 Dresden Files last week. 'Course, I don't work.

 

[Jedi_Master]

At one point I was able to knock out a 400-500 page novel on my days off, but these days I struggle to read more than a chapter or two thanks to added work and family responsibilities.

Ah well that's different, everyone binges on those.

Congrats on reading 150-200 pages a day. We all certainly believe you.

If anyone has a problem with someone's posting style and thinks it's breaking the rules, then the way to handle it is to hit notify on their post(s) and let the mods deal with, not confront them in the thread and carry on a long argument about it.

Chem, that goes for you too.

You and your little friends can always get me on trumped-up charges but the truth will always show you, for what you are.

No one has gotten you on any "trumped-up" charges (I spelled out the reason for your infraction in detail, and even provided screenshots), and your spamming infraction from me has no relation to this current exchange, other than both involving spamming. You were also cautioned for spamming by another mod in the TOS forum, so I think a little introspection is in order about your style of posting and the frequency of it, as we discussed in our recent PM.

I have this awful tendency to fall asleep when I read any book for more than a chapter. I'm so tired that I just can't keep myself awake to read. There was a time when I could knock out a large novel in a couple of hours. Now I struggle to get through a chapter before zonking out.

Same here. I tend to read before going to bed. Right now I'm reading book two of the Terok Nor series : Night of the Wolves.

If you can't spend more than three and a half hours a day reading, then I don't want to know you.

Can you please put me on ignore as you don't want to know me?

Because of various health issues including failing sight I can't spend anywhere near three and a half hours reading per day and I, unlike most of the people here, do not work. Some days, but certainly not all days or even half of all my days, I might rack up over three and a half hours of listening to a book.

I can pass them on to you when I finish.

Just finished The Fall of Saxon England, on to Agincourt: the Battle that Made England.

The Terok Nor series is my favorite Treklit, the first one is particularly good. But the whole trilogy is awesome.

I'm reading a Scientific American article about the Rise of the Tyrannosaurs. Recent fossil finds are helping to fill in the gaps and also demonstrate the great diversity of tyrannosaur forms.

I'm currently rereading part of Gerald Posner's 1993 book Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Finished The Heist by Daniel Silva. First time reading him and I'm sure I'll follow him from now on, as it was so good! Main character is a middle-eastern secret agent, written with panache remeniscent of Bond. It was a very satisfying read.

Dozing off is getting to be quite a problem for me, too. I'm sure it has to do with the increased responsibilities at work and absolutely nothing to do with age. Nothing at all.
