Yes, you literally would be able to keep up with my posts, and still have spare time to do whatever you want.

You overestimate how much time I have. I don't even have the time to be keeping this bullshit up.

After all, you only said "ever single time I see you"

That doesn't imply you actively seek me out.

Well, true, but the idea of me going out of my way to do it is still indicative of hyperbole.

Nothing right now. I might just read another Goosebumps book for the sake of entertainment value. I got some that I haven't even read yet.

Still, nothing else right now as far as books go grabs my interest.

Daily reminder that this post infers that Deci is more capable of appreciating literature than Verbatim is.

Honestly if it wasn't for Goosebumps back in the 90s when I was like 5-6 years old, I would have never been interested in reading everything. I would have never really learned, but Goosebumps encouraged me to read, it caught my eye with its artwork and it really wanted me to know what it was about.

I read other books as I got older such as Lord of The Flies, The Old Man and The Sea, hell I even got Of Mice and Men in my collection. The other 2 I borrowed.

One book that I read in high school and was actually a challenge to do a paper on it later was one flew over the cuckoo's nest, but I read it. The entire book.

And honestly I liked to book more than the movie. Same can be said with Lord of The Flies.

So when I feel disinterested, I fall back to my childhood roots on where I began reading.

My cat pushed my kindle in the toilet but it survived so I can read more Game of Thrones

HAHAHAHA holy shit did the "English scholar" really just say that

Yes. I'll say it again: I don't need to read other people's literature. I just fucking don't.

I've read enough--I don't need to read anymore. Why would I?

It's nice having a nice easy read isn't it? I like going back to Harry Potter/ A Series of Unfortunate Events sometimes.

You know I never finished reading A Series of Unfortunate Events all the way through, but I plan to one of these days. That's the second book series that motivated me to keep reading. I still have The Bad Beginning and I own the movie. Oddly enough Harry Potter didn't really capture my interest as much.

But Goosebumps, god I was obsessed with those as a child, and I partly still am from time to time. It became more than a book, more of a novelty. I don't know how other kids imagined how the story played out, but for me it was always a lot darker than intended, and fortunately there is one Goosebumps book that is that dark, at least too dark for a kid, that I proudly have in my collection. It never got reprinted so the first print version is all that exists. Its called I live in your basement.

The way how I imagined it is what kept me reading.

I finished reading A Dance with Dragons, so now I'm reading my ass creed books, up to the ac2 one.

Because you're nowhere near as good at anything as you espouse to be, in fact, your writing could use quite a bit of work.

Actually, I'm the best at literally everything. Ever.

Either way, you've never read any of my creative works, so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

The movie was terrible, the books are way good. Especially the later one. The story really goes places.

Tbh I'm actually surprised Verbatim hates reading. I mean, I figured with someone with the username Verbatim, he'd actually be a reader since there is no way in hell he would have known of that word at a young age.

I don't hate reading, I just don't read. There was a time when I used to--I don't anymore. I just don't see much of a point in it anymore, other than vapid entertainment. I don't really learn anything useful from reading fiction.

You're not far off-base with where my username comes from, though. I love writing, I love showing off my vocabulary--and I like learning new words, too. But I don't necessarily need to read fiction all day to do that. I'm kind of at a point where there aren't many words I don't know.

Honestly I enjoyed the movie, even though it was okay at best. I just wish it wasn't so rushed and the characters and story in the movie had more time to develop.

But I consider the movie to be a different version from the book. But yeah, the last book I read was probably book 11, but I need a complete refresher since I haven't read them in awhile.

They're doing a Netflix series now, so that's ok. Hopefully they don't fuck up Olaf again.

The audiobooks are good too, they've got Tim Curry

And why do you keep using italics in nearly every post of yours now? You're confusing.

I wonder if he knows that its actually poor grammar to use punctuation to infer emphasis.

I actually can't wait to see the Netflix series. Jim Carry was an okay Olaf in my opinion, but it is true that Olaf is suppose to be someone we dislike, and Jim Carry did the opposite. Honestly Jim Carry is someone I would have wanted Count Olaf to be, but.... yeah.

Count Olaf is a fucking animal, I think Jim Carry had the potential to actually be an evil bastard in the movie, BUT thanks to executives at Nickelodeon Movies, and the director, he couldn't do that.

Italics are used to emphasize words to help stress a point. I use the all the time.

That doesn't really help you out though. It just makes you look even more foolish.

Another book that I got and read, which I'm still trying to look for since I lost it somewhere in my home is Boy of the Painted Cave. My teacher read that to us in 6th grade.

Another good book is The Cay, and its sequel, Timothy of The Cay.
