Uh... just you. Hey! That means you get to write the next smash (geddit? smash? nevermind) trilogy. Not everyone would have thought of combining badminton with awesome BDSM. All those feathers, on those cocks, and you whack them, and spills over the net, backhand, forehand. They get real...

Yeah I wanted to ask you about that. You must be pretty happy - 4 medals already. We've got a really teary-eyed silver medal, and everyone's feeling so sorry for him that there's a groundswell of support for his efforts on Twitter now. I screamed myself hoarse (well, I was already hoarse from...

What? Nobody likes Olympics here? This cannot be! Loved that Murray won, that Federer needs to eat some humble pie. Awesome badminton action. Archery was riveting. Rifles not so much. Saw some of the best table tennis action ever. Been missing the Dream Team's performance on the basketball...

There was a mighty good chance today could be declared a national holiday if he won. I feel bad for a missed holiday! It was an awesome match, one of 2 best matches I have ever watched (the other being the World Champs finals last year, where again we missed a chance for a holiday).

Oooo, sneaked that in there, and I almost missed it! :) There is a little upside to this, as people not usually interested in badminton raised an eyebrow, and deciding maybe they should give this sport a try. Or maybe not. The player who retired is one of the best badminton female...

I had pretty much decided I won't read this since I read that absolutely fantastic review on Goodreads linked to by Sparky, but thought what the heck since this book was up for a discussion with a couple of friends. Even with advance warning, I have to say it is worse than I thought. I'm more...

Have you read In the Beginning was the Command Line? I read it and remember loving it. I don't remember the details now (which is really sad, since almost all the non-fiction I read I retain probably about less than 5%-8%). But it was great. :D

Wherever it is that Hitches is currently taking me as he describes 'interesting events' done in the name of religion...

A couple of months ago I discovered Suits. A fun drama about high-powered corporate lawyers. The protagonists are a mentor-mentee duo act, one a seasoned, highly effective attorney (Harvey), and the other a clever associate (Mike) who has photographic memory. The conceit of the show is that the...

Peder, it's always great to see you. I'm well, but have been quite busy with work. Although that has tapered down somewhat, and I'm free to participate in forums again. I think you should have no problems with Herzog - I'm a far less competent reader, and I think you'll enjoy it.

My thoughts on Herzog, by Saul Bellow This isn't an easy book to read, and it isn't easy to write about. This is usually the sort of book that I stay away from in the best of days, as it didn't exactly promise to be an exciting ride. The subject matter is dire like heck. But its reputation as...

Usually squats are mixed in with seats here and countries in the vicinity of 'here'. Ratio of seats to squats are higher, but they are quite common.

Uhm, i don't know if this is appropriate, but aren't squat toilets available in the west too? Maybe just very, very, very uncommon? Now that I think of it I've never seen a squat toilet whenever I travel, well, west. Anyway, I've always loved your pictorials. What nuclear plant was in the area?

LOL! :) Literally, apparently. And Watson will never guess that anything's amiss.

Would that make him see ?

Eclair, I missed your post, sorry (of course, not logging in for years actually contributed to that, but I nitpick). Actually, there are some theories floating around, but I think the strongest has to do with which of course possibly means that But the question is then and whether . Those...

Oh my goodness. I owe you this post, Peder! :) I will get to it.

I would recommend the short stories, especially for those who are dipping their toes for the first time. I recommend Different Seasons, where you get The Body and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, along with his horror fare.

Dear Forum Administrators, I would like to ask if you could consider activating Tapatalk support for this forum? Tapatalk support would enable users of the Tapatalk mobile app to access this site, providing a more convenient user interface for forum access. Activation is free, but it does...

Finished this last week. A very difficult piece, not just to read, but to talk about. There are instances where Bellow seemed to be describing things that I was feeling or thinking that I couldn't have put it any better myself. The story's depressing as heck. I made the mistake of trying to...
