Okay. This post isn't going to be as good as the one I tried submitting before, because I'm sick today and my head is foggy, but I'll try. My reaction to 100 Years of Solitude changed periodically throughout the book. After the first 50 or so pages I was fascinated, drawn in by Marquez's...

100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I wrote a fairly long post explaining why, but it was eaten by the forum goblins. This site has been unbelievably slow for me lately!

Books (obviously), jasmine tea, paper and writing utensils, a comfy pair of Chuck Taylors. :D

Ooh, my partner will be pleased to hear that, and I've been meaning to get started on Donaldson's books for some time now.

Welcome! I'm in Leeds too. Are we the only ones? If not, we should have a Book Forum Convention someday.

Either grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly. I'm a person of simple needs. :D

Do what you want with it, watercrystal. It's not like I wrote it or anything. I'm glad you appreciate it. :D

The only "famous" writer I've met in person was Bob Greene, former columnist for the Chicago Tribune, when I was twelve. He signed a book of his that I'd been reading at the time and he was absolutely lovely.

I want to be Angelina Jolie. Well, Universe? I'm waiting!

I'm surprised by the weather here in Leeds. Usually it rains boring little drops of drizzly water, but lately we've been having exciting rain with special effect flashes and loud booms! It makes me nostalgic for the midwestern summers of my youth (because I'm so old now). :p

Something For the Touts, the Nuns, the Grocery Clerks, and You by Charles Bukowski we have everything and we have nothing and some men do it in churches and some men do it by tearing butterflies in half and some men do it in Palm Springs laying it into butterblondes with Cadillac souls...

I named myself after one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Thea Gilmore. It's also just a pretty name. :)

Idun, I felt largely the same about The Alchemist. I was so unimpressed that I'm not in the least bit interested in reading his other books.

I almost fell asleep.

I wasn't voting for Breakfast at Tiffany's, just correcting the title of the book and name of the author, since someone searching for "truman captone" on Amazon probably wouldn't come up with many results, although now I just looked it up on Amazon and all of Capote's works show up, so I needn't...

Psst! The book is Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote!

Damn and blast! Foiled again!

Believe what you will, Wabbit, but take the time to stop and ask yourself why the carrot you had for breakfast this morning left you with a chalky undertaste. :cool:

They're Chuck Taylors, so they're all of the above (and quite comfy too)! :p

The meanings of words evolve with time, Wabbit. I will continue to call shoes "cute" if I feel like it, thankyouverymuch. :D
