  1. I love black olives. I eat them as a side dish whenever I can get them.

     

    Whenever I have to stand for more than 30 seconds or so I put one foot up on my other leg so that my toes are by my knee. I then stand one-legged and look like a flamingo. I do it without thinking; standing on two legs is uncomfortable. I did it while working on a roof recently and got a lot of weird looks.

  2. Also, some enlightenment from the safety brochure associated with this job:

     

     

    Chemical substances come in several different forms and can have different effects on your body.

     

     

    Chemicals are found in nearly every work environment

     

    "Several" and "nearly".

    I owned one book of folk and fairy tales secondhand a couple years ago, I'm not sure what collection it was, but it including stories from a variety of cultures and was a very fun read. Maybe I should look into those types of books.

     

    A Monster Calls looks interesting.  Harry Potter is always worth rereading, though I'd put it behind the other series I have queued.

    Man, it's been too long since I read Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Definitely going to reread those at some point. A lot of these are book I've always meant to read but never did, though I'd never considered Uncle Tom's Cabin. Thanks.

    I knew I could count on Aanchir for some well-considered recommendations. Thanks!

     

    Brick by Brick is fantastic! I used it as one of my main sources for writing a research paper last semester that I'll be presenting at a conference in month or so.  I owe a lot to that book.  Though it did mistake a Pakari Nuva for the Mask of Light.

     

    I'll tuck Neil Gaiman away, I've never really investigated his work.  The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is probably one of my favorite series of all time, so hilarious!  I was rereading them during last semester, but lost the compilation volume I had purchased...  I need to get another one.  Never heard of the game, looks fun!

     

    Oh man, Artimis Fowl. I loved those books in middle school.  Such a brilliant fantasy underground world.

     

    The Invention of Hugo Cabret looks really interesting.

     

    Holes I burned out on a long time ago. I'm sure it's a great book, I read it a long time ago, but it was that movie in some of elementary and middle school that they would always play to kill time.
