Re: The 2012 Reading Challenge

Someone can add me to the OP as well.

Re: The 2012 Reading Challenge

No, I can't edit the OP Kyle, you lose the ability after a certain amount of time.


To keep it tidy, I was going to start a new thread just for book posts. We could try and get an admin to edit the posts but that might get a bit tedious - how about when you add a new book, copy+paste your previous post and add in the new one or something?


Unless anyone else has a better idea, which would be handy to hear

This is what I was thinking. Every time you start a new book or end a book, you copy and paste your list with the new addition.

Or you can get the staff to merge the posts if they are willing, instead of copying and pasting lists with new additions.

I finished another book today and I updated my reading thread, reported the post and Audraa kindly merged my posts. Natasha mentioned it was ok in my thread and I know posts get merged in the exercise challenge.

Re: The 2012 Reading Challenge

I can't handle reading books that fast, it takes me ages to read because of how bad it strains my eyes and I really can't stand the feel of most books paper.
I listen to the books. It makes my days fly!

Yea, same here. I'll easily watch TV over reading, and I don't even watch television that much.

Even if something I like is on, I don't want to watch it. I'd rather go find the series on bit torrent and watch it at my own leisure...

I think it's adverts. I know everyone hates adverts, but I've often noticed not to the extent I do.

Adverts on youtube really send me over the edge!

I'm spoiled by downloads now. I never used to be bothered by adverts but now I'm surprised when I have to sit through them.

Re: The 2012 Reading Challenge

In terms of tv, I V+ everything just to be able to fwd adverts.

Re: The 2012 Reading Challenge

Considering my new job/schedule I'm definitely in. I'll be flying a least 10 hours a month and I always have a book on the go. A friend gave me The Help recently...that'll be my first book.

HK are you going to start a new thread for the challenge and get a Mod/Admin to change this to the discussion thread?
