I like to that post every chance I get, you know. It's one of my favorite memories.

Sometimes I think I need better people to hang out with. And then I remember that all the better people I hang out with are on the internet!

I'd love to stop by but I don't think that's going to happen. There is SO MUCH to do, and not nearly enough time. But I miss you. <3

Nicely said!

Too many guys I’ve know only read non-fiction. Very closed minded of them. Thanks for the perspective in your post.

Also, how the fuck could someone NOT know about Where The Wild Things Are?! How sad is it that people don't read to their kids? People miss so much when they don't grow up with the wild rumpus, or Goodnight Moon, or The Hungry Caterpillar, or… you get the point, I could go on forever. *smh*

So well said! I will never understand people who disdain the fantasy genre (or any genre, really) and/or its fans… or reading in general.

I've encountered people that seem to think that readers are either stupid, boring or just have no life and no matter how much I might try to explain that books are gateways to other places, other worlds, other possibilities… I'm used to getting the sneer, too. I flat do NOT understand it.

Which is one reason that I hang out on the internet so much with awesome people who DO love books and stories, and who understand how much they can mean to a person. You guys are so much more REAL to me than some of the naysayers that I actually see in person. Also, you're WAY cooler.

One last thing… I get warm fuzzies and sniffles every time you link to that post. Just wanted to let you know. )

Agreed! I have a dumb friend that says he doesnt read fiction for the exact same reason you mentioned. Now I know how to respond to him!
Miss you, Kia. When you stop by DM again, come visit the Whites. I'm Head over there now.
