What books will you start 2016 with?

The irony of your reply is demonstrated in your unfamiliarity with the text you're criticizing me over. You asked for books we're reading. Did you mean to set this as a means of blasting others or to edify the body?

The book is pure self-help plain and simple no matter how you deny it. Oh and I never blasted you I blasted the book you were reading so get your facts straight mister.

I did not see any denial that the book was not a self-help book.

By criticizing a book someone is reading, you are, by extension, criticizing the person.

What could have been an edifying and pleasant thread has now been turned into a childish and hostile interaction. What did not need to happen is the blasting of what someone else listed they will read.

I think a better observation is the book is not "self-help" as Evan described, but personal development.

(It's not teaching reliance on oneself but instead developing skills to facilitate interpersonal relationships).

Hey JonC I saw Star Wars again for the 3rd time. What a excellent movie.

I remember going to the first one when I was in elementary school. They did a good job on this last one.

As long as you didn't go in costume...or as long as that costume wasn't an ewok...all is good.

The Martian? Saw it but the cussing scared me off.
I saw it in a very noisy Chinese theater. Everyone thinks it's their living room and they feel free to carry on loud conversation --continually. But now and then I tried to view the movie. I thought it was a good product. I didn't note the cussing so much. I don't hear cussing in English at all while here. That's a plus.

Oh go chase a rabbit!

Perhaps this should be the reply by those who respond to your next plea for financial, job, and personal relationship advice.

Let me guess--$35 for three tickets, perhaps some munchies to go with it. Maybe $45 spent on going to the same movie three times and seven hours spent sitting in a theater. Not my gig.

It was a good movie and I plan to buy a copy when it comes out on DVD.

So three movies at $12 each, munchies at the theater, perhaps $5 each time, then buy the DVD for $24.99. About $75 spent to see the same movie four times. That doesn't strike you as a waste of money?
