Byzantine Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Nothing read before the start of this thread counts, right? Correct. Otherwise I'd have many many more points :D We are having to read the Lord of the Flies for English class this summer, is it a good book? Keep a good coming-of-age book handy to counteract it. I recommend To Kill a Mockingbird. Nihil, 200 Cartermia, 11 Byz, 9 Chrysophylax, 3 Ploomf, 2 Ardil, 2 AnneLine, 2 Spem, 2 Da Bomb, 1 Pooh Bear, 1 LT, 1 Trisha, 1
Nihil Obstat Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 No. Yours was the orange spice tea, but if you prefer something different, I have oolong, green, or ginger. Actually the canister of tea I have sitting in my room right now is a chai mate. When it runs out I'll probably spend a bit extra for a nice white tea.
Nihil Obstat Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Tea gives you kidney stones. Beware. According to my five minutes of Googling it is mostly iced tea that contributes to that.
Anastasia13 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 According to my five minutes of Googling it is mostly iced tea that contributes to that. So do spinach, chocolate, rhubarb and nuts. :(
Nihil Obstat Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 So do spinach, chocolate, rhubarb and nuts. :( I would think that you would have to eat an ungodly amount of any of those things to be at a medically significant risk of kidney stones though. I do love rhubarb, but it is expensive.
PhuturePriest Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I finished The Half Blood Prince around the 9th, and I'm almost done with The Deathly Hallows.

Nihil Obstat Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I can tolerate ungodly amounts of spinach. :eat: I just don't get it enough. I only like it in smallish amounts when raw. But I eat piles and piles of it if it's prepared in something that's been cooked.

PhuturePriest Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Have you got to the part yet where Nagini gives Professor McGonagall a fatal bite, but she chops off her head with her dying breath? I'm at the part where Bill warns Harry to be careful about any deals he makes with the Goblin, and Harry realizes he's screwed.

Chrysophylax Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I just read three more! The Theif, The Queen of Attolia, and The King of Attolia , all by Megan Whalen Turner. And (I don't remember if anyone asked) do audiobooks count? If so, then I have also read/listened to In the Best Families by Rex Stout. (Amazing!!!!) If anyone has not read, listened to, or watched any Nero Wolfe mysteries, they should! I am tempted to ask if you will unclude all the manga I read, but I have decided not to. :P

Comic books count, but graphic novels do not :P So whether your manga counts is up to that classification. Do remember to name titles or else your score goes in small print.
