    Mental note to self.... markups don't work on polls :(
    ... nor can you edit them... :(

    So, I've got this book sitting on my shelf - what should I do?

    I like your poll D-M..... but what is there to debate ? See it, buy it, read it til finished. Don't eat sleep, breathe ( o.k- maybe breathe) til it's done !!! My only complaint is that besides E-I I don't know anyone else finished it to talk about it with. Just busting to discuss it !

    I'm going to read it. Once I've bought it.

    But this will only happen once I've finished listening to the audio book (half way through now). And then I'm going to read Ep I and II again, just to get a feel for how they differ and how the story progresses.

    I reckon that will take me up to about May 18 :D

    Evil-Ink only reads if its printed on money...

    Which reminds me, when are we doing a run of 50's? :D

    *************

    As to the "Do, or Do Not" on the reading.....

    Every time, I've said to myself "Fox, maybe if He buys it now, Fox can read it the day after He sees to Movie"

    .....It hasn't worked so far, and certainly not this time either :D

    Turn the first page, Mr Meanders

    ************

    PS Evil-Ink's leg hairs stood on end when he read the last page of MY book. Later, he worked till 11pm ish on Over-time - so he could leave work early the next day, to purchase a copy of his own - and read it that arvo.

    Who else, is that dedicated?

    I'm waiting for Fox to finish his so that I might steal it from him.....no great hurry though, got enough reading to do for Uni, dammit. I wonder if they'd understand that this new book is far more important? :D

    E-I reads books?

    I've got a whole library.... I can use eloquence or brute force to win an arguement.



    Brute force & fear are a more enjoyable weapon..

    I avoid this problem by being unable to afford HCs.

    However if you do read it (I'd probably be unable to resist) please don't tell me about it.

    got it already but seriously you have to read Labyrinthe of evil before you do.

    Otherwise you will loose where you are at.

    And dont bother trying to see clone wars to try to understand labyrinthe of evil. the dont synch up.

    Nope, I don't really know everything. Lucas is cool, but the moment after he walked in and posed for a couple of pictures for me, he asked my ex to walk me out as soon as he had something to discuss with RM!

    And I got to hear the diaglogue between Obi and Ani because my boyf was working on it and he got permission for me to be there because I really wanted to meet Hayden and Ewan.

    But I've got pictures! I don't mind, I'll wait for the surprise like everyone else.

    Must create website to post pictures though, I've been lazy while my computer's being fixed.

    I have to back up Beezel here, it is much much better if you read Labyrinth of Evil & follow that up with ROTS. Works very nicely for me.

    Yep !! Bought the Yoda one at Plympton Park Deli $2
    & just as useless as the others- Didn't win anything !
    Tempted to not scratch it & ruin the look of it, but the temptation of $100,000 was to strong *lol*
