Book Talk » Does listening to books decrease your reading activity? » Re: No, 'cause I can only listento Audio Books in my car.
herebedragons 17 yrs ago
I don't find this to be a problem for me, either (as others have already said). BUT, I only listen to books in the car when I'm going places I know well, or on long car drives. Because I've found that if I'm listening to…
Book Talk » Does listening to books decrease your reading activity? » Not at all!
herebedragons 17 yrs ago
I've really gotten into listening to audio books over the past few months. I started out just having a few to listen to on long car trips, but now I find that they're convenient at other times, too. I like listening whil…

Last month, I hit a bit BookCrossing milestone - I made my 500th wild release!!! My 500th book was "Random Acts of Kindness" (seemed appropriate), which I released at the same post office where I made my very first relea…

Book Talk » Vampire book suggestions? » Re: Lots! If you like funny, try Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampires beginning with
herebedragons 18 yrs ago | 1 replies
I STRONGLY second this recommendation for the Harris books - I'm enjoying this series more than any of the other vampire books I've read in years and years. It's a totally different genre than Rice's books - these are li…
Book Talk » is there anything you would really try to stop your 11 year old from reading? » Scared by Stephen King
herebedragons 18 yrs ago
Yep, I did that too . . . I read lots of King when I was that age, and it did scare the cr*p out of me. Same thing with horror movies. I pretty much read whatever I wanted - I don't remember my parents ever even paying a…
Book Talk » Are you ever tempted » No . . . but I have been tempted:
herebedragons 18 yrs ago
I have been tempted to return a book that I bought and read which turned out to be crappy. I've been tempted - but haven't ever actually done it. (And I'm sure I never will). Trouble is, I don't really like BookCrossing …
Book Talk » Are you ever tempted » Re: Oh, I think a judge and jury can tell the difference between browsing
herebedragons 18 yrs ago
Well, in your opinion it's wrong. I suspect there is hardly universal agreement on that point. I don't see anything wrong with it at all, personally. It was a nice benefit to have when I was a bookseller. I'm also not of…
Book Talk » Are you ever tempted » Re: Book loan program?
herebedragons 18 yrs ago
I've worked at more than one bookstore (both a big chain, and an independant) that allowed us to "check" books out and read them. After we brought them back, they were put on the shelf for sale as new books. I don't thin…
Book Talk » Who has had a "wild" release journalled in more than once? » One of mine got picked up three times . . .
herebedragons 18 yrs ago
It did the rounds on the local BART trains. I released it (not on BART, btw), and the person who caught it released it on a train. Someone caught it on the train and re-released it on another train, and then one more per…
Chit-Chat » Spankings » I'm opposed to spanking . . .
herebedragons 19 yrs ago | 1 replies
Not so much because I think it teaches children to be violent, but because it sets me (as the parent) up as a big hypocrite. Because, obviously, I'm telling my child that he is not allowed to hit other people (especially…
Chit-Chat » Kids on leashes » I never used one, but in your situation, I might have
herebedragons 19 yrs ago
I never used a leash with my son, because I always sort of thought, "leashes are for dogs," etc. They don't really offend me, I just never liked the idea, so I didn't use one. However, darting into traffic is a VERY seri…
Chit-Chat » Hands up if your profile pic is actually of you! » It's me . . . Sort of
herebedragons 19 yrs ago
My picture is artwork, and not originall of me (obviously), but I did photoshop my own head onto the body of the woman reading to the dragon. So, it's me . . . sort of. :D
Chit-Chat » what song is currently stuck in your head » Various sections of "Vespers" by Rachmaninov
herebedragons 19 yrs ago
In Russian. Yeah, I know that's probably a bit weird, but I just sang it with my symphony chorus about a week ago, and it's really stuck with me. :D

Chit-Chat » What age should a child be allowed a TV in their bedroom. » Well, I don't agree with this statement . . .
herebedragons 19 yrs ago
Making a blanket statement like this might seem funny (and maybe you meant it as a joke), but TV is like most things . . . fine in moderation, but can become harmful when misused. There is lots of great stuff available o…
