Hey, excuse me, I actually restarted that book on Monday, and finished it on Friday night. I actually read it within a week. The damn thing was over 800 pages, most of which I read in one night. I doubt that even Sheldon could do that. In fact, I don't think he would even bother in the first place.
Oh, and Happy Saturnalia, everyone!

[/quote]I do that in a sort of ironic way. It is an achievement to read such a book so quickly. But I expect recognition rather than applause. The plea for applause was sardonic. Sheldon wouldn't understand sardonic if it slapped him across the face.
And then, speaking of funny Xmas and The Big Bang Theory, there's Sheldon and Leonard about Christmas films...

"And that, Charlie Brown, is what boredom is all about"
But it's funnier in the second 'Christmas special'. Read the signature. After it, he says, "For example, last year, I didn't have this gun." Said gun being basically a gatling gun for snowballs. It's rather funny. And the people he shoots it at eventually retaliate with a cannon. :clap:

Who knows, I have never reread a book in my (short) life, apart from bits for exams at school. But who knows. I'm not a fast reader so it's a big commitment rereading when there are always more books around the corner.
I'm already about a third of the way through my life and have read so little....

Went to dinner tonight with Mike Hayes & his wife, Barbara. He writes an incredibly funny mystery/satiric series featuring a sheriff (named English) ) in a fictional Kansas county and now he's added daughter Heather, who is with the Sewa tribal police (fictional name for actual Tohono O'odham tribe). It is set alternately in Kansas & on the rez and in Tucson on a memorable Christmas day. His newest book(called English Lessons) is a hoot. Tony and I have both read it and found it laugh out loud funny. But the wonderful thing is that he's beginning to write the kind of satire that Terry uses. This book features the 2nd Amendment gun nuts, and the border problems in Tucson. :clap:
