I just sneer at the yellow-belly posers who shriek "Here I am!"...while wearing a mask.<BR/><BR/>Gabriel, I keep My Books Read list on a spreadsheet (geeky, I know) and my To Read list is essentially books placed carefuly on three shelves, on a nightstand and strewn about My car. <BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, I am slogging through a fantasy novel right now that's long on sub-creation and short on plot, but I will finish it. (The great advantage to speed-reading at 1,200-1,400 words a minute is that you can get through mediocre books in a flash.) In My life, I've only "dropped" 8 books, one of them "Anna Karenina" because the characters were about as pro-active and as fungi. I only remember one other dropped book, "Little, Big"; dropped that one twice.GCSchmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735900094879466498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11569206.post-5459928237041082822008-12-17T18:15:00.000-04:002008-12-17T18:15:00.000-04:00Where do you keep your book lists of books read an...Where do you keep your book lists of books read and books to read? Do you use BookMooch? Do you keep at it with books that start badly to see if they reward later on?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940267250726982508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11569206.post-37202660205399178072008-12-12T01:27:00.000-04:002008-12-12T01:27:00.000-04:00Oops.

Of course, I'm not a very well kept secret, and I'm not getting any awards... not even those ones from back in 1996! :)The Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01141271519765142626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11569206.post-75271891785737658412008-12-11T20:14:00.000-04:002008-12-11T20:14:00.000-04:00Thank you for mentioning links, Francisco. In the ...Thank you for mentioning links, Francisco. In the category of "Acephalic Awards Shared", try the blogs "Sin Mordazas" at http://desahogoboricua.blogspot.com/ and "Poder 5" at http://poder5.blogspot.com/ Scroll down to see the "awards" and note how many on the blogrolls are "award winners." As for hypocrisy, check out "Dedo En La Llaga," http://dedoenllaga.blogspot.com/ whose masked author (I kid you not) says he is "Married and with children, screwed by the government, tired of hypocrisy, avid to call out a few truths." Oh, really? Since when does telling the truth require an ape's mask? (Unless it isn't a mask, in which case, damn.) <BR/><BR/>Posers. That's all they are.GCSchmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735900094879466498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11569206.post-13381150787009465922008-12-11T17:48:00.000-04:002008-12-11T17:48:00.000-04:00Kudos on this blog!The sad thing is they probably ...Kudos on this blog!<BR/><BR/>The sad thing is they probably just give awards for SEO cross-links.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to have a link to make this more.. laughable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
