   I pulled an all-nighter with the Dragon Tattoo. Still enjoyed the other ones but was not as obsessive about them!

   I only got one- age 9/10 (Grade 3 to 4). Normally school teachers didn’t have the foresight/continuity to assign them, but one of them did. I think I read a kid’s version of the ChineseCcinderella (maybe inspiration for the more known version?)

   I still pull an “all nighter read” about once or twice per year. I don’t read as much as I used to but some books are still that gripping.

   Love Sturgeon. “When You’re Smiling” is still my favourite about 30 years after first reading it.

   Also very much like Killdozer!

   as a fellow bike nut: pain is universal, but suffering is optional.

   Takes all sorts, doesn’t it? I like a Tale of Two Cities. Also liked Les Miserables, Don Quixote, and a few other “epic” size books.

   From the classics, Crime and Punishment was my bane. Didn’t like the character, style, or message. Because it was part of a book club tried to push trough but just ditched the whole set together.

   Ah, the miracles of medical science.

   Well, I don’t know about how all these numbers all line up. But I DO know that the supposedly omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent god would make all these medical interventions unnecessary and redundant.

   How does the math work for all the people that die because no suitable donor was done on time. Oh, I remember now – “mysteries”.

   Well, Mictlantecuhtli cares not whether you fasted or not over lent. You better have been good to doggies through your live or Xolotl will not aid you to go across the river of the dead.

   Thor only cares on whether you fought courageously. And you drove away the fire giants.

   And for Anubis, it only matters whether your heart is heavy or not. Ammit may not take kindly to worshippers of the enemies of the pharaohs. But I’m not sure there :)

   I’m sure that the faithful have made provisos to be in good standing with all the mythologies. After all, Christianity has existed for less time than Egyptian deities were worshipped.

   Love that one! Big fan of Asimov’s stories, more the shorter ones that the novels (which are also very good, but I’m a short story kind of person).

    long overdue so many years! One of the best features in other boards.
