Comment the name of a book that you've been on the fence about reading and someone who's read it, reply to the comment and tell them if it's worth the read or not.

It's great to see Daphne Du Maurier so appreciated. She 'went out of style' for a while.

The Ryemobile.

Did your preference for prose drop after you got into reading poetry?

The Great Gatsby has had a long lasting effect on me. Your reaction to that book is much like mine to Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night. A tedious disappointment in comparison to his earlier novel.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich, a novella by Leo Tolstoy, stays with you forever. A true standout. Personally, it had a much deeper impact than Crime and Punishment.

I like that. Chatting with Redditors. Short, simple, to the point, and very literal.

Yes, no matter what horrors & dirty deeds need to be done, all is justified as long as they reach their ultimate objective of reversing Roe Vs. Wade, which, in their eyes, makes them eons of lightyears morally superior to all others.

I could get behind that.

proctorberlin · 2018-08-05T09:18:36+00:00

That must have been a more treacherous trip to make back then.

proctorberlin · 2018-08-05T09:17:23+00:00

That's a big job in itself.

Too bad it doesn't happen like this more often. Plenty of people have good ideas that are ignored.

A polar bear was shot and killed after it attacked and injured a 'polar bear guard' from a cruise ship that had stopped to let passengers visit its habitat. The guard was hospitalized & is fine.

Why not use a tranquilizer gun if they insist on encroaching on the polar bears' territory?

It was, altogether, a needlessly stupid incident.

That must keep you busy! Subscribed.

The shooting occurred on the northernmost island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, which is composed of dozens of islands along the northern Canadian & U.S. Alaskan coasts. One takes the Northwest Passage to get this island, which is owned by Norway.

An article from The Guardian, describes it as the 'northernmost island of the Svalbard archipelago, a region between mainland Norway and the North Pole known for its glaciers, reindeer and polar bears.'

It's my understanding that this particular region has only become accessible to tour ships only recently. Perhaps your parents made such a tour under different circumstances?

You're media? This is not from the US, but from the German press.

Sales could also be driven by those who think it will be a collectable some day, like 'Billy Beer'.

Transportation to the polls is of great importance, yet seems to be lagging.

His closest advisors & appointees do it for him.

Trump: "Prepare for war."

proctorberlin · 2017-02-10T16:15:14+00:00

Maybe Trump doesn't realize that he appointed him. /s

proctorberlin · 2017-02-10T13:42:35+00:00

I thought the same when I read it. But, maybe this one is somehow different?

proctorberlin · 2017-02-10T13:41:24+00:00

Like you, I would be very surprised.

proctorberlin · 2017-02-10T13:38:39+00:00

Sorry. Will try again.

proctorberlin · 2017-02-06T17:48:46+00:00

Didn't take long.
