This might be the best ask I’ve ever gotten, ngl. I was having a deeply miserable day, and this made my life at LEAST 4% better.

BEST QUESTION EVER. Should I go by genre or just in general?

Big Jane Austen fan here, so Sense & Sensibility and Persuasion goes onto that list. Bram Stoker’s Dracula (sweet, sweet cracky vampire goodness). Catch-22. Middlemarch. To Kill a Mockingbird. Let the Right One In (proper horror that. Don’t read it in a dark room). All of the Discworld novels (well, almost). The Remains of the Day.

But some of my favorite books of all time, forever and ever, amen, are Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, Rachel’s Holiday by Marian Keyes, and Popular Music From Vittula by Mikael Niemi. Love that shit like I love pie.

Oh, absolutely. As I’ve said, repeatedly, I do appreciate the man. War hero, so on, and I’m sure a stellar human being. But I was responding to the “fighting for your freedom” comment which… well, no, not really. Basilone got shit done, but ensuring my personal freedom is not one of them. And even if he did, it was more than a one man effort — John Basilone shouldn’t be put on a pedestal.

Oh dear.

Well, basically it’s like TVTropes. Once you get linked, good luck getting out in the forseeable future. 

Before you click that link, remember to notify family, friends, your job and/or roommates so they’ll have a team of Sherpa’s on standby when they haven’t seen you for three days. Pack lunch. Godspeed, grasshopper. http://www.cracked.com/

Aw, Nonnie. *hugs* Mostly that was because my laptop desperately needed rebooting for like a month and couldn’t handle Tumblr, and I have a really short attention span?
