Unfortunately, I'm allergic to books. If I try to read leisurely for more than 5 minutes I start to stare out the window and end up getting an acute case of spring fever...

- Have you read a book called Leotas garden?

There are a few parts in it that seem to have been put there just to promote the writers view on things, but apart form that it is a really warm and nice book :)

No, I haven't read it. Who is the author?

Try ebooks. If you're used to staring at a screen for hours, it's the same experience.
Thanks for the suggestion, and I've tried that but it's the reading part that bores me. I get bored very easily. If it's not absolutely fascinating, I get bored... unless its something I'm required to read like a textbook. I used to study textbooks in my car for extended periods studying for exams.. the 'in my car' part is a long story that I'd rather not get into. I wasn't living in my car though (just in case anyone's wondering).

It sounds like you have to read books that you find fascinating, maybe books about cars? Or something that interests you?

I haven't actually read it but I heard them enact it on the radio once. It was very moving, especially the part about the little boy.
I have a cd of it being acted and narrated by old Hollywood stars. Orson Welles narrates it and Lionel Barrymore stars as Scrooge. It's very good. You're thinking of Tiny Tim. It is very moving, the scene of Christmas Future. I love Bob Cratchitt.

Thanks for the recommendation. I may check it out. It kind of looks like a woman's book. I don't know if any guys here would want to read it, though.

Give a list of three really good books you'd like to read, and I'll choose one, and we can get this thing a rollin'.

Okay Out of these Three, do any strike your fancy?:
1. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (more a novella than a book)
2. The Divine Comedy by Dante Allighieri
3. Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
I've read A Christmas Carol, but only bits of The Divine Comedy and Pilgrim's Progress

Pligrim's Progress does, but I've been there done that. That's the pool I swim in already.

Let's try the Divine Comedy.

Ugh I just looked at the Divine Comedy. It's all poetry. Totally over my head.

A Christmas Carol by Dickens.

I'm just holding out for the Comic Book Club.

"Garfield: Livin' Large."

Know what I'm sayin'? :D

Okay, I've read bits of The Inferno, it would be kind of bad to go through Hell without getting to Heaven. I hope Holly will want to read it as well. I don't think the book qualifies as horror, but the Inferno bit may.

Alright, then A Christmas Carol. It's actually a novella- but that's okay. Holly might want to read it again as well.

Just going through all of that poetry trying to follow the plot and also interpret what he's saying would be hell for me. Reminds me of a semester of Chaucer. It's like if an author wants to tell a story, then just write a story, don't complicate it with poetry. I don't mind thinking a little bit, but not that hard just for fiction. :D

My dear, as the lead how do you plan to have this flow?
