As soon as I saw that typo in the question, I knew were were going to get an answer along those lines, but Eirene's response far surpassed anything I could have imagined.Portia wrote:haha dessert tortoise

Re: Answers I liked
You know, those answers make a lot more sense now. That's what I get for skimming!

About time, P.D. Kirke! I was starting to worry you'd let Anne C. just ship questions out to you.
(I'm a big P.D. Kirke fan. But I can't believe it's been two years already...)

This question had perfect timing for me. I just got a Kindle Fire on Friday, and I was really excited to put it to use. I finished A Short Stay in Hell (that was a really different read - what a frightening hell) and am halfway through Machine of Death. So I know that the "what are some good books I should read?" question comes up in the Board periodically and is always answered well, but I just wanted to say that I, for one, got use out of this version. And will continue to do so. I am really happy that I can read a book now while I nurse, rather than just staring into space or watching junk on TV for 20 minutes every couple of hours. Holding a book open with one hand and trying to turn pages never worked well for me.

^^^^^^^ Yeah, I liked that one a lot too. I put all of those books on my ever-growing reading list.

Yeah, I liked that list as well, especially since there were Spanish books. I've been looking for some Spanish book recommendations for a while.

Despite being a "hardcore feminist," I found this hilarious.

I really liked Mico's answer to that one. So much so that I actually went to all the effort of copying and pasting the link in here, which is something that I'm usually way too lazy to do.

No, it's still there: http://youtu.be/Ym0jXg-hKCI (but it might be "unlisted" now, which means you need a direct link to see it).Portia wrote:If anyone would like to watch the video, here's a source. It's been taken down from YouTube.NerdGirl wrote:http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67205/

I appreciated Eirene's answer to this question. I think that focusing on the results or effects of an action instead of on the action itself betrays a subtlety of judgement that I am trying to emulate, myself.

Yeah, I thought that Kirke's response was too black and white and heavy-handed. I think he's still set in the mission us vs. them mentality.Katya wrote:https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67268/

Mmm, I seem to remember him being pretty black-and-white before the mish, too.Craig Jessop wrote:Yeah, I thought that Kirke's response was too black and white and heavy-handed. I think he's still set in the mission us vs. them mentality.Katya wrote:https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67268/

I'm pretty sure that any answer which uses the word "photochromism" is guaranteed a thumbs up from me.

I liked the answers to this too, but really I just posted this here so I could go, high five, past me! I didn't even remember saying this, and I don't think it was a serious prediction. But still!
