My name isn't silly either.
Well good, I told you NOT to be silly!
I am serious. And don't call me Shirley
One of my favorite stories to embarass my wife is about how I lent her a book after our second date. Dirk Gently, after I saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on her shelf.
A decade later she still hasn't gotten more than two chapters into it. At this point she says she can't break her streak. Says that wanting my book back has kept me around this long and she's not about to ruin a good thing.
We'll gloss over all the other books I've bought her that I end up reading first.
Oh man, she's missing out - Dirk Gently is great!
I don't owe you anything, books.
Next time try being more interesting.
Sadly they are really interesting, but I read too much social media and pulp fiction.
I just finished a couple of books I got within a “few” years ago… I bought them when they first came out. Checked the copyright: 2014 on both… New Year’s resolution was no new books until the old ones are read.
The Once & The Future King has been sitting there taunting me for a few years now.
no bc if I haven't finished it ; that means its not good.
