Do you love books?

[Rolfe]

Evan, now that BW is off of your Ignore list, please give her a Rabbit. I think that she feels excluded from the Club.

4000 books is really quite easy to do when you are older. I have children's books, fiction, non-fiction, resource, etc. On my Kindle alone, I'm at over 1000 books (99% of which were free) and just from sitting where I am in my living room, I see 58 books.

Verily, the dearth of educational opportunities accessible to these uncultured adherents of limited vocabulary is a lamentable fact. The scholastically erudite members of this internet forum ought not deride and mock those who lack comparable literacy; rather they ought to provide the ignorant and unwashed with tomes and missives containing robust knowledge and instruction in theological imperatives. Elseways, the prospect of educational uncertainty will germinate into fully-developed illiterate bewilderment. The resultant Luddites would most assuredly outnumber the educated component of this Baptist conclave.

Nicely played.

4000 books? 4000 books? 4000 books? Thats allot of books. I only have about 300-400 and have stopped buying paper books as I have too many and do not read as much as I used too. However the other day I bought a iBook for my iPad which is my tablet ebook reader.

Improper usage. -5 points. "Allot" is to assign, give, or apportion; your usage indicates you meant "a lot."

And just like that, went from an "A" to a "B"....

Sadly some on this board think that if they have never heard of a term then it must not exist. Those posters that think this way have small vocabularies probably because they do not love to read. So I challenge you to love to read books to improve your knowledge and vocabulary.

So that I explain myself: I really don't mean to pick on John in particular. When you post something like this, then turn around and show yourself to be just as grammatically-challenged as those you accuse of having small vocabularies....

Well, "irony" is the word that comes to mind.

You know how badly you need quality time with a Kangaroo so you resort to being a grammar cop which to you is a defensive mechanism and how you get your fulfillment.

Apparently someone has resorted to the usage of a thesaurus to compile such a worthy response of their backwoods education.

+5 because I said so.
