To distract from the book I am copyediting. (Long book is VERY FUCKING LONG!)

I know I've done this one before, but ah well. From trollprincess.

"These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish."

Today, we are expected to get between zero and eight inches of snow. This is as good a reason as any to avoid the Deep Fried Double Wide Holiday Hangover Ball. Also, I don't have tickets, but since Queensryche just stepped up to take over for Saliva, I was thinking about it.

Also also, RIP Bettie Page. I have something to say about that, but I'm going to wait till this book is done.
