Announcement: the Democratic Underground Book Club

that were stealthily posted to avert my filter.

Your signature is massive and really eats up a lot of space.

...As long as we are giving guidance on how we THINK other posters should behave on DU.

And I'm doing it the old-fashioned way without the use of technology

What fun is that?

Alerting is not fun though, especially that posters can not post after 5 posts.

Right?

I laughed the whole time. Only 6000 words but it was way better. i like women in control.

but it is on my kindle.

Dreck.

But I figure if we have a support group, we might be able to make it through!

Next you'll be trying to implant the "Celestine Prophecy" into our brains. Then, "Say a Prayer for Owen Meany" to finish us off.

Can we generate a list of potential real reads? Currently I am reading Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and the sequel set in the same area 200 years later is waiting on my counter. I am interested in good book suggestions.

I'm patiently waiting for the third book of the Century Trilogy to be released.

is a very clever promotion campaign. Just think, if you made a terrible movie based on a terrible book that you knew would flop as soon as it was released, what would YOU do?

Well, I would start talking about, in horror of course, months and months before anyone got to see it.

I would attack it, get people arguing over it, all over the internet, on TV, everywhere.

And I would make a fortune as people rushed out to buy the book just to find out what everyone is arguing over.

Or maybe they really are just obsessed with the topic of sex. Who knows, I skip those threads, people are dying everywhere as the world appears to be imploding. Only the 'privileged' can bother with this trash, lucky them.

I've been reading The Second Amendment: A Biography. That's partially because of the gun thread arguments on DU. At least I'm trying to be informed on political issues.

I'm sure there are arguments, but 50 Shades won't help me learn more about the orientation wars, and it's not my type of entertainment.

Sometimes interesting threads are locked, but 50 Shades goes on and on......and I agree, ignore is your friend.

That's asking an awfully lot of people.

And I laughed about the 2011 production of Atlas Shrugged without seeing it. I'm laughing about Palin's new network without having seen it. I must be a heathen and a bomb thrower...
