mari_skye I do sometimes, especially when the author is more of describing something that to me is not really relevant to the story. I am more interested in how the story unfolds than in its details.

mari_skye I read the book and I did not really like how it ended. I am such a sucker for happy endings that is why the ending of the story left a bad taste in the mouth for me. For days I have pondered on why the male lead character had to die? But oh well, I am not the...

sissy67 @sissy67 (224) • United States 30 Jan 08

mari_skye Yup, I agree. Turning the corners of a book to mark the last page read really irritates me. I am always carefull with the pages of the book that I read and I have a collection of book marks for my use or when I cannot find one, I improvise and use candy...

mari_skye Yea, I was shocked too when I saw the article in yahoo yesterday. I could not believe it really, thinking that he is still too young to be dead. But then the article was no joke and the actor is really dead.
