Sounded like a monsoon out there on top of the couple inches of snow that's still on the ground....what a soggy mess. Forgot to set the clocks ahead before bed and almost missed the start of the Liverpool game.

Flagged has a certain charm. Kind of a dry sense of humor that I dig. -

I think I started reading Dragonlance somewhere around my freshman year in high school. I remember buying the Legend of Huma at Kmart first and became hooked.

I read Confederacy of Dunces as well. I picked it up after hearing Artie Lange rave about it on the Howard Stern show. I came away a little let down with it. I think the problem is that I hear about some of these books being so good and I go in with such high expectations that I end up disappointed even if the book is half decent. Speaking of Artie Lange, I did think Too Fat to Fish was pretty good. It's ashame Artie is such a mess now. Forgot to add that one to my list. Fantastic book. I followed it up with Sometimes a Great Notion, which was just OK.

My wife is a maniac reader. I've never read a book two times, She has ready many 2 times. When we moved I would venture to say we at least 5 20 gallon totes of books. They are mostly ass stashed in the basement now. She finally transitioned to reading on the tablet.
