I probably spend the same amount of time reading as most other people waste on Facebook. Besides only a total philistine could resist reading when they have access to the literary luminaries resident in Mr Rosewaters library:p

Shouldn't there be an apostrophe before the "s" in "Mr Rosewaters"? And a full stop at the end of the sentence? Jeez ilovenerds, you're really letting go of yourself.

Mere oversight! We both know my grasp of the possessive case is impeccable:D

What is the point in a list? You said you don't waste time on facebook, do you waste it on lists? Stupid. I think you only want to make an impression.

The intention was to keep track of how many books I was reading and to placate my friend who was pestering me about being a more active poster on the literature forum. Why would I wish to "make an impression" on an essentially anonymous discussion forum?

I find it quite strange that you would revive this long since dead thread.
