LittleWaySoul Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I have a to be read pile that is taller than I am. :| And I keep buying books to add to it, I can't seem to stop myself. :P This is my life. No big deal. :|
LittleWaySoul Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 LOTR IS COUNTED AS THREE-- ONE FOR EACH NOVEL. I'M TAKING LONG ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH FOTR. THERE IS NO WAY WE'RE COUNTING ALL THREE AS ONE. That is all :)
Anastasia13 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I would think Byz gets to make the calls, but I would think each document should count? And each 'book' of canon law would be citable separately, I would think... (but you'd have a pretty boring summer if you read 'em end to end.. but maybe not if you are a canon lawyer!) But they don't have legal books like secular lawyers do, I seem to recall.... Certainly would in the regular legal field..... Interesting questions? How about the documents of Vatican II? One book or a compilation of books... would think they work like the Bible? The parts of Vatican II that I have read were less than 10 pages per document. Boring Summer would be memorizing the headings and numbers of all major sections of cannon law. Tempting... I'm reading the CCEO (Eastern Catholic Canon Law, http://www.jgray.org/codes/) for summer.
Byzantine Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 So books of the bible count as one book? Finished 1 Maccabees. forgive my unpleasant disposition, prots! ETA: I like the censor bot. :) Of course! Do things like 78 page PDFs of church documents count? What if I am reading an entire set of canon law? Sure. Although in this case I might wonder if you really want to do that. I read one book. To your mom. In bed. You can't read, silly old bear.

Yeah, let's go with that, counting each document separately. Thanks for the clarification! And yes, that is the Jacques of Redwall. I hated reading until I started reading his books in fifth grade... Now I am a voracious reader and his Castaways series is still one of my favorites! Ben and Ned are two of my favorite fictitious characters. Haven't read Castaways, but I probably should. LOTR IS COUNTED AS THREE-- ONE FOR EACH NOVEL. I'M TAKING LONG ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH FOTR. THERE IS NO WAY WE'RE COUNTING ALL THREE AS ONE. That is all :) LOTR is one novel, though. One novel, three parts, six books :P Cool it or they'll count by book for me and by novel for you :P But yes, we'll count LOTR by part. That seems like a nice balance between one novel and six books. In that case, point for me because I finished TTT a day or two ago. Current scores: Nihil, 200 Chrysophylax, 3 Byz, 3 Spem, 1 Ploomf, 1 AnneLine, 1 Do we call him Dr. B, Bomb, or Bambi?, 1 Winnie the Pooh, apparently 1 unless he was being sarcastic. Correct me if I'm wrong.
ContemporaryCaflicCrusader Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I read my battery operated lamp instruction booklet in English and Spanish!!!!!
AnneLine Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Hey L&T -- I know what you mean about some of those docs of Vat II being really short.... but some of them are long, too.... so it all balances out. Certainly longer than CCC's lamp instruction booklet, as bilingually enlightening as it must be. !Que cosa!

Dr. Bombay Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I approve of referring to Winchester as Winnie the Pooh, or silly old bear henceforth. Carry on, my wayward sons.... :like2:
Byzantine Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 I approve of referring to Winchester as Winnie the Pooh, or silly old bear henceforth. Carry on, my wayward sons.... :like2: If it is permitted, let's! He's already commonly referred to as Winnie, so adding "the Pooh" shouldn't be a problem. Now, there's the question of you. I don't think phorum members generally get to choose their own nicknames. So, those of you competent, what do we call him? Dr. B? Bomb? Bambi?

Dr. Bombay Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Some people called me Mumbai, under the illusion they were being clever. They were just being delta bravos in reality. Also, Bombastic, Doc, Bombs Away, Bumbledorf, Bomboob, and DB (referring to the aforementioned delta bravo). The possibilities are truly endless.

ploomf Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Finished Wyrd Sisters this morning. Now starting the Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis.
Dr. Bombay Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I disliked The Great Divorce intensely, probably because I was forced to read it by a horrible woman. "Oh, the grass hurts my feet!" Pleez.... :rolleyes:

Byzantine Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 I finished Galatians and Tobit yesterday. Current Score: Nihil, 200 Cartermia, 7 Byz, 5 Chrysophylax, 3 Ploomf, 2 Spem, 1 AnneLine, 1 Bombsquad, 1 Winnie the Pooh, apparently 1
AnneLine Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Sheesh, Cartermia, we'll never catch you at this rate!!!! As far as the whole nickname thing.... .....

Nihil must name all 200 books he read before he gets credit.
