I've never been able to get into Manga, its just not something i enjoy. Same can be said of my husband's comics, i prefer reading those as omnibuses and graphic novels. So I've joined a few series- or author-specific subs and we do re-read-alongs, but it's really not the same.

If I could travel to any point in time again it would be 2005, high school rerun or not. Sigh.

Mate, I miss the times between OotP and DH being released... we were an actual community, once...

My dear, you clearly didn't grow up in the era of fanfiction. Sometimes stories that you follow for literally decades and millions of words just don’t finish. That's okay, it let's you finish the story yourself. And you always have the option of going back and starting again.

The first one I ran into that was Guardians of the Galaxy 2... Marvel using your younger sibling's birth year as a flashback year just makes you feel so much older..

3 books and a million years.

You just know it's going to be a single copper jot in there. No significance to it at all.

Well, I was going to have a go, but I can't now, there's no following that :) kudos.

God, I remember the first time I finished the Harry Potter series. I think I just sat there staring at the wall and silent crying for like 10 mins, realising I'd just ended an era of my life and my favourite book series at the same time.

Then my sister barged in and called me an idiot. Thanks, sis.

My god, yes. I've just sat here and experienced a world shift because the character I loved/hated died/found happiness (delete not applicable), and you're still standing there asking what I want for dinner‽ I banish thee, foul beast!

I've seen videos of WWII POWs. There was definitely more meat on a dog.

Thanks very much. I really don't like the Dundee films in general, so I'll take your recommendation :D

What did we do? I don't understand this reference.

Long books, usually. Plots I can't guess the ending to at page 35. An ending that feels earned. An antagonist that leaves me seething with rage at the mention of their name for years after (hem hem). So rare, but those books are worth their weight in platinum. If I could find a book or series with all 4, I'd buy a lottery ticket.

I will read almost any book, but whether I finish or enjoy it is the question. I finished a book the other day that introduced a character in the climax that was there under another name/in another form from the threshold-cross, and her actions ended the conflict, just by being there. It was not a good pay-off.

I wanna down vote, but...I...can't...

We went bush for 3 weeks, no radio or anything. I don't remember if my parents were worried about Y2K or if they were worried about the people worried about Y2K, but I remember my 9yo self being very confused as to why we were on holiday for so long.

I'm not even sure I fit under the restrictions of that last paragraph.

Nice job!

You're also not taking into account those who have to change tampons every 30 mins, so a 12pk will last them maybe 6 hours, or who have to wear both tampon and pad at the same time to prevent leaks. Some of these are medically-influenced, but some people just piss blood - and not in the fun anecdotal way.
