I had a tendency to try to read books that I was not quite mature enough for. I was always an excellent reader, so a lot of the books at my maturity/age level didn't appeal to me because they were "easy" books or "kids books." I think it ruined a few of the classics for me.
Mica, you can share with me. I understand twisted writer minds (I've been called worse with the new series I started).
J&K, how is it going with Box Kitty and medicine? Any easier? Whisky and I had ourselves a battle tonight with it.
I've only read this page, so, evening everyone! H and I are watching The Return of the King and probablly going to bed early. Tomorrow we might go back to the cabin where we got married and hang out for the day/night.
I had to read P&P in High School, but I didn't actually read it. I used a combination of Cliff Notes, Pink Monkey (a book analysis/summary site) , and Spark Notes to do my assignments. I was horrible.

Hi Sesh! I'm sorry you and Whisky battled it out. It definitely hasn't gotten much easier, but at least we can get it in her (most of it, most of the time) now. We're giving it three times a day now, and it's a bit sedating, so I think that helps a bit. Unfortunately though, no one else can medicate her. So we were running into a "wtf are we going to do with her while we're on vacation" issue, but my brilliant H figured out how to compound it into a gel (like vaseline consistency) that we can have his parents smear on her front leg so she'll have to lick it off. We have a gel like that for her digestive issues, and it works great, so he's going to mix up a tiny bit this weekend and we're going to test run it.
I will say that I'm gonna add some books to my iPad Kindle app to read on the plane to Florida. I think if I tried to reread some of the classics now, I might actually enjoy them.

The best thing about getting my Kindle is getting the classics for free. I read a bunch of books that I somehow missed reading in high school and college. I'm re-reading War & Peace right now, and I have a ton of Henry James to read when we're traveling.
As I am watching the results here i want to punch Christopher in the face. I mean the old lady is annoying too but FFS he could have prevented the skirt taking that long by being assertive and changing their plans.
