What live reading? I mean, I know she's doing one, but I didn't realise it was being televised?
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

I am grabbing it at about 8am in the morning (I was considering getting it at midnight, but I'm lazy), getting back home, finding a comfortable couch/bed/armchair, grabbing some food and drink supplies, and then reading all day long.

If I really wanted to read it quickly, I could do it in three or four hours; however, this being the last one and all, I might take it a bit slower and enjoy every revelation. So probably all of Saturday.

I've been taking my time, but it's been so good I couldn't slow down. I'm 100 pages from finishing.

:D:(

Ditto, Baroness Ink! Excluding very reluctant breaks for food and exercise, took me around 7-8 hours. I couldnt resist reading straight through XD
Got a poem or short story you want me to critique?

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good... then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness.
— Leo Tolstoy
