    Smile Happy World Book Day!

    i can't let the day end w/o wishing everyone a Happy World Book Day!

    i think someone mentioned somewhere about starting a BP.net book club. does it sound like a good idea to u? let's see if this idea will pan out and let's start a discussion about your favorite books, recommendations, etc.

    full disclosure: i don't really read much anymore in terms of literature (aka books). i don't even like reading super-long threads and posts lol. i mainly read blogs, periodicals and news articles BUT i can make a commitment to read if we are all in it together!

    anyway my favorite books include:
    The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin - the first book i read almost all the way through and couldn't put down. it's a whodunnit?! i only took me like 3 days to finish.

    The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman - a medical anthropology i read in college. 352 pages!! i've read it twice again since FOR FUN!!

    Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon - smart and funny, a real and surreal adventure in life and academia.

    The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri - there's a lot more complexity and moving parts to the novel vs the film. a deep, beautiful and moving story.


    TL;DR : yay books! yay reading!
    RIP Mamba

    I’ll bite, I’m a fan of reading. Maybe a Tom Clancy and Dean Koontz kind of guy, but yes I truly enjoy it. Happy World Book Day!

    Dean Koontz is my favorite for sure.

    I’ll probably get shunned for saying this, but I just could not get into Tom Clancy. His style really turned my off. Maybe I picked the wrong book to introduce him to me. But it just didn’t work for my simple brain.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.
