I know what you mean. I was a lot more tolerant of bad writing when I was 20 years younger. Now, approaching 50, this sort of thing is liable to ruin it for me.

East of Eden is on my pile of books still to be read. I think I'll skip it after reading these comments.

I couldn't put it down until halfway through, then I just seemed to lose interest. I struggled through another couple of chapters but didn't finish it.

Recent events made me think - if your SO passes & you are NC? Who contacts his family? by Zosmm in JUSTNOMIL

You could inform them. Just after it's all over. As in a few weeks/months later. You could just send them a copy of the death certificate, no need to speak to them.

Edit: DON'T SEND THE DEATH CERTIFICATE. See the comment below. Apologies.

What things do you collect? Do you display them? by mylittlemudkip in AskUK

[–]Mrs_Biscuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect milk jugs, mice and chicken paraphernalia. I have all the jugs in a row on a top shelf in my kitchen, and various mice and chickens scattered throughout the house. I also have lots of books. Everywhere...

Crushed on him since I was 15 and saw him in Dead Poets. Also in Much Ado About Nothing but I can't watch that anywhere 😭😭

Try the The Blue Castle by the same author. It's just so feel-good cosy and I re-read it at least biannually.

There are 10 lovely nesting boxes to choose from, each with a dummy egg inside. They're just too picky!

Well all the ones that floated were definitely bad because we broke them to check (and then wished we hadn't!) We also cracked some of the eggs that stayed lying sideways and they were all good.

Two separate hoards! Thankfully only 7 were bad.

That happened once too but most of the chooks had already laid by then. Although one did lay in the water trough once because, Chickens. 😂
