If you eat anything, you will die eventually.

 

Wait a second...

 

 

If you don't eat anything, you'll die quicker.

 

 

This is very true!    No eat, no more reading, either!

 

Just read "All New Square Foot Gardening" -- which might be useful to spinach and rubarb lovers.... ;)

I would definitely second enjoying all the fruits of the earth with a side of To Kill a Mockingbird, btw... great book!

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?

 

She chopped off a head with her breath?  That is one fatal case of halitosis!  Yucko.

Audiobooks count. 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.

 

Nihil, 200

Cartermia, 11

Byz, 9

Chrysophylax, 7

LT, 3

Ploomf, 2

Ardil, 2

AnneLine, 2

Spem, 2

Da Bomb, 1

Pooh Bear, 1

Trisha, 1

FP, 1

 

I would like to submit a further protest that the font size for Nihil is still too large.  And he should be listed at the bottom, not the top.  And he should have an asterisk after his name, like that baseball guy that broke Hank Aaron's record or something.  And the font should be a different color, like a sickly green. That should cover it.

 

Yes, I am very bitter.  :(

And if you eat the leaves of the rhubarb you won't be reading much either!

Overruled. We are not taking punitive measures; we are merely expressing that his score is contested.

WillT you are RIGHT about that rhubarb!  NO LEAVES!!!!   eat the stalks only!   (and I think you have to cook it!!!)

 

See both sides of the Bomb/Obstat problem... and I am a wimp.   So I'm gonna let our phearless thread moderator, Byz, sort that one out....

 

Meanwhile, while you-all fight, I'm gonna keep on reading!!!!

 

Finished With Belles on their Toes.... one more for me!

Posted

Finished Esther yesterday.
 

 

Well it was magic breath, so yeah.

Nihil... No.

 

So I'm gonna let our phearless thread moderator, Byz, sort that one out....

Read then all of you my decree on the matter:

 

Nihil's score has been contested, and with good cause. Therefore his name and score will appear in a smaller font until he provides titles of books. If he should fail to substantiate his score by the end of the competition, his score shall be registered as 0. However, since his score is only in doubt, no further actions will be taken. However, Nihil is also banned from summarizing books until such time as he recants certain fallacious statements made with regard to the Harry Potter series. This is the final decree of Byzantine, moderator of the 1st Summer Reading Competition on this great Phorum of Phatmass.

EXCELLENT books.

 

Also, DON'T STOP READING SO MUCH. WHATEVER YOU DO. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. LOOK AT MY SCORE. I'M ONLY AT 1 BOOK FOR THE SUMMER. IN 7TH GRADE I'D BE AT ABOUT 15 BY NOW. BOOK ADDICTION IS A GIFT, NOT A CURSE. KEEP READING.

The Deathly Hallows has been read as of yesterday at 2:00 pm. Next: Finishing Anne of Green Gables, and then perhaps finally finishing The Fellowship of the Ring, which will be probably my fifth try.

Yes!!! Let's do it!!!! I'm actually near the end. I believe the last part I was at was when they were walking through the forest after they got out of Moria, and now they are with the Elves.

 

And it was the greatest book ever!!!! Though it's impossible to read it without crying the entire time.
