I got Revival yesterday afternoon and got to reading it today, I'm on pg. 92. I was reading it in the bathtub which isn't a place to read a book, which totally makes it the best place to read a book. I used to drop my mom's books in the bathtub and then blow dry them. I was really worried I would drop Revival in the bathtub but then I remembered my blow dryer, so I continued.

So far, I like one thing for sure, and that is that I don't know what to think. As of yet, this book is still a mystery to me. I am headed to the unveiling.

Point of order: blow drying is not good enough for the public library (I might or might not have ruined a few books by reading while showering. You can't prove anything.)

A blow dryer and Revival are not a good mix. Read on.......

Tahahah. That's hilarious. I thought I was the only one crazy enough to have read in the shower. I feel all red in the face now, because well, when I knew I had to shower out my conditioner and get out of the tub yesterday I thought about continuing to read while showering, then I remembered I would have to hold the book high above my heart or else the water would run down my arms and wet the book, and I can't see that far without my glasses anymore, so, after going over the logistics to reading while showering, I reminded myself that while reading and soaking in a hot tub may be relaxing, reading and showering is playing Russian Roulette with my beautiful new 18$ book, and so I had to put that sucker down. Then after, I read it at the bus stop, on the bus, and at a pub. The better the book the more I ruin it by not being able to put it down.

That's why I don't own one of those Kindle thingies. I don't think you can drop those in a bathtub.

You can drop ANYTHING in a bathtub. Or a toilet (sobbed my last phone-fell out of my back pocket. Thank god I'd just flushed, or I'd owe the coffee shop for ruining their potty with an unflushable phone :D).

I broke down and bought a (used) Kindle a couple of months ago, partly because my college age daughter can get some texts cheaper in e-book form and partly because it's easier to carry a book with me wherever I go (which I do--lol). I also review books, and some come in digital form. I've been reading them on my computer at home, but being able to take them with me is nice. Can't imagine reading everything on them, though. I prefer 'real' books every time.

Just finished Revival. Wow!! It was good. Thought i was gonna let it take one more day but i couldn't put it down. Now i'm shaking a little. This might very well be one for the top ten list. How i'm gonna sleep tonight is beyond me. A lot of strange thoughts creeping around like hungry worms in my head. Sleep?! Relax!? Forget it. Anyway it was totally worth it.

Ah, it all makes sense now, the correlation...as your English progresses so does the elegance of Stephen King's prose. :rofl:

Really though, congratulations on your grasp of more than one language. Not everyone has the chops to tackle multiple languages!
