shadowkatAm in a mood...combination of training and commute to training, less said, the better.
1.Day 23 – A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t
How about half my bookshelves? I'm a moody reader. I can only read whatever fits my mood.
Top of the list :
* The Brother's Karamazov
* Les Miserables
* Cloud Atlas
* Don Quixote
And various others...including Foundation by Issac Asimov.
Currently reading of all things, Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts - which is about a female fire jumper (forest fire fighter) and a rookie on her jump team. There's a mystery about a vandal and arsonist, but mainly it's about fire jumping. Which I find interesting, plus banter, a tough woman who is 5'10, and an adult, along with a beta male who loves strong women with attitude. Very subversive. By the way? Nora Roberts and JD Robb are the same person.
Day 24 – A book that you wish more people have read
Day 25 – A character who you can relate to the most
Day 26 – A book that changed your opinion about something
Day 27 – The most surprising plot twist or ending
Day 28 – Favorite title
Day 29 – A book everyone hated but you liked
Day 30 – Your favorite book of all time
3. Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale
Eh...there's been a few:
* St. Elsewhere's ending where the entire series was an Autistic boy's fantasy.
* Newhart Show - where it turns out to be a dream that Bob Newhart had in the Bob Newhart Show.
* Quantum Leap - where he never returns home and ends up God knows where
* Lost - that they all left the island, then reunited in purgatory, and finally back on the island, which is a weird half-way station for the damned on the way to purgatory, after purgatory, they get to move on.
* BSG - they end up on a planet with a nicely mowed meadow and mountains, with no people, yet well-manicured and landscaped.
Let's face it tv writers suck at endings, sort of goes against the whole let's give the network unlimited episodes as long as we can.
Day 27 - Best pilot episode
Day 28 - First TV show obsession
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Day 30 - Saddest character death.

Date: 2013-03-14 12:56 am (UTC)Hee..That makes two of us. And I must say, it's nice to know I'm not the only one. ;-)
I've read Dostevosky, but it was in 1985 - when all I had to do was well read Dostevosky and discuss Dosetevosky.
Ah...for the days when I had the head-space for these things. Not so much now...after the last few days, I barely have the head-space for the Nora Roberts novel I jumped over too, because GRR Martin was putting me to sleep...you know your brain is over-taxed when GRR Martin puts you to sleep.
Even never having seen St Elsewhere I've heard about the ending. It sounds either completely mad or utterly brilliant.
A little bit of both. Sort of similar to the Sopranos ending, people either loved it or hated it. Actually that's true with most tv serial endings.
