You know, if the challenge was to keep buying books rather than read them, I'd have this thing beat!

Re: The 50 Book Challenge 2012
How's that supposed to be a consolation? 

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J
"...anyone who says it’s “just the Internet” can
. And then when they come back, they can
again." - Tigger
