Y'know, I love the Dark Tower cycle and all, but I'm beginning to remember why I usually only buy books in pocket edition. See, I do most of my reading on the train and the metro, and while walking home from the station in the evening, and let me tell you, Wizards and Glass, in paperback edition? Really, really fucking heavy and unwieldy, that is, and I swear to god, that thing could double as a handy blunt object with which to knock would-be muggers uncouncious. This would be a good thing, except mysteriously, I never get mugged. Hit on, yes, and burgled, but never mugged, so I don't need a weapon, I need a book I can handle!

I'm starting on Wolves of the Calla tomorrow. Which is a hardback.

Could somebody please come and try to mug me so I can at least get something good out of the volume of this book? Please?

You gotta hit 'em hard but briefly. And then do it again in case they're just knocked out. :-) And you don't have a vliegenvanger? What do you do to catch flies (please don't tell me you use a book... :: shudders ::)

Soms leven de spinnen nog als ik ze geplet heb met een boek.

... Thanks ever so much for that image. You're going to give me nightmares, woman. ;-D

You people are both wusses, you know that? ;p

Oi! *glares*

's all my mother's fault. She passed her dislike of spiders on to me. She's the ebil mother. Well, at least I didn't take over her dislike of cats. Or dogs. Or horses. Or mice. Or... hey, just grant me the spiders, 'k?

Besides, there's a difference between fear and horror.

(Though I might just scream if you put a large spider on me.)

Apart from that. Yeah, I'm a wuss. I'm brave enough to admit it. *sniffs*

;-p

Nope, don't have a vliegenvanger. The cats like to eat flies. *g* The big cat is a very good fly-catcher. She eats spiders too from time to time.

*g* Happy Dreams! *giggles madly*
