  1. @McVane Really enjoyed both book & movie Prizewinner of Defiance, OH. Great story. Quite climactic in parts for nonfiction.
  2. Anyone read Lincoln's Dreams by Connie Willis? It has kind of a secondary love story between Robert E. Lee & his horse Traveller.
  3. Oh, & I really hate watching battle scenes where horses or other animals wind up as collateral damage.
  4. @LauraKinsale I hear ya. I just can't stand thinking about an animal in pain.
  5. Except for maybe Georgie Denbrough (age 6) and the toddler killed in the bathroom.
  6. This after a whole slew of kids and adults die in horrific ways - all of which I read while horrified but not truly DISTRESSED & UPSET.
  7. Just passed the part in It when Michael Hanlon's dog gets poisoned by Henry Bowers. Really, really upset me. Had 2 go pet Milo & Ruby.
  8. Again with the breathe deep. "This did NOT really happen." & don't start thinking about animals who are hurt/killed IRL either, Rachel.
  9. When I read about a dog/cat/horse getting hurt/killed, I literally have to close my eyes, breathe deep, and tell myself "This is fiction."
  10. Should it bother me that I feel worse when an author kills or torments a dog in a book than when she does the same to a human?
  11. @KatieAAR Yay! DSL! Love mine.
  12. When it gets like this I always seem to read bleaker books. Right now am reading Stephen King's It.
  13. It's so dark outside now. Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark.
  14. Or the alcohol I had to use to disinfect. His nose is better, though.
  15. Dingleheart dog got in2 it w/ a squirrel & lost - nose scraped & bleeding. He really didn't like the taste of the liquid skin I put on him.
  16. Know what's still free, bitter Huff Post commentators? The benefit of the doubt.
  17. RT @Lileks: If this is an ad campaign for a "depressed" economy, it's a little too close to the truth http://ow.ly/CRhM ~ Eerily appropriate
  18. RT @colleengleason: Please read and RT: 49 million Americans going hungry. How 2 help. http://ow.ly/CR1E ~ Comments R atrocious. B generous
  19. I mean, it wasn't as if the ere was a giant evil alien spider creature lodged in the bowels of the earth below The Overlook or something.
  20. @SandyAAR 1 thing I thought The Shining never substantially answered was why the Overlook was so evil. Bet it was an interesting visit.
