I mean, I read them and all but don't comment like some others on here...DON'T YOU PEOPLE WORK???</i><br /><br />I consider myself a fairly regular reader/commenter around these parts, and speaking for myself, of course, I can say that I'm married, with two cats and a dog, and a house. I actually work two jobs (one full time, one part time) and have written/am writing a few novels, which I'm trying to get published. I play poker with a group of friends every Tuesday night (I record and watch Lost late), and we hang out on a less scheduled but regular basis in addition to that. I'm lucky enough to have both my family and my in-laws nearby, so I get to spend time with them on a regular basis as well. <br /><br />Nik at Nite, while certainly a favorite, is but one of probably a half dozen blogs I read and on which I comment daily, and additionally, there's countless other blogs I read on a less daily schedule (having an iPhone helps greatly in keeping up with what I read). I also contribute to a blog myself, and write 2-3 posts a week for that. <br /><br />Lost is but one of at least a dozen TV shows I watch each week. I'm also something of a film aficionado, with an extensive DVD collection, and I watch probably 1-2 movies week on average. Considering my part time job is at Barnes and Noble, I also own a lot of books, and usually am in the midst of reading 2-3 at a given time, in addition to a monthly stack of comic books. <br /><br />If anything, I have TOO MUCH of a life. <br /><br />I'm just lucky that I work a full time job that has internet access and is structured such that I have a minute or two of downtime periodically throughout the day that allows me to pop over and comment. That's really all it takes.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-90282449095883065182010-03-20T07:47:49.932-04:002010-03-20T07:47:49.932-04:00@ of course I'm going to remain anonymous: Of ...@ of course I'm going to remain anonymous: Of course Lost people are insane.

Actually, now that I think of it, that was kind of a sick book for a 13 year old to be reading.<br /><br />Anyway, I like mgkoeln's idea for a rewatch book. I would buy it. How about a box set with a special rewatch volume ONLY AVAIALBLE with the box set. I'll have my people call your people.<br /><br />Jungle = good. <br /><br />Lastly, my stepdaughter somehow talked me into watching the first of that series with her, and I honestly have to say that was one of two movies where I felt the director owed me 2 hours of my life back.

That is "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. Prehaps you could recomend it to your vampire literature friends and show them what a well written story actually reads like!

And much of that material is , well, old. I recommend Roald Dahl's books. I remember as a little boy having Kipling read to me before bed time, and in years later I ran across Richard Hughes "A High Wind in Jamaica," which is an excellent book, but a little disturbing. Not to mention George MacDonald's books would be an oversight, not to mention Andrew Lang. I read them now for pleasuant excursions from not only the day, but also our time.
