Are people actually discussing this book?

We really shouldn't be creating new forums for so little actual discussion. We'll have to require a larger number of people claiming they will participate before we create a brand new book forum. This discussion might have been better in the "Additional Fiction Book Discussions" forum.

Yes we are having a somewhat desultory discussion, which I rather think would suit Oscar!!! :cool:

I am so-o out of it. What is "ROFLMAO?"

"Ralphed on floor laughing my ass off?" Did I get it on the first guess? Someone should hire me to crack codes.

Miss Latilla here. My daughter explained to me it's "Rolled on floor," not "Ralphed." Well I was close. I think someone must have explained it to me before and it just didn't stick or I wouldn't have gotten that close. I should never try to crack codes. I might not only hurt myself but jeopardize the commonweal.

About the topic: I haven't been participating, but maybe I shall now. Afterall, Oscar Wilde is not only a fellow-Libra, but one of several authors who share my very birthday. (Others include Eugene O'Neill and Gunter Grass. Italo Calvino is the day before.) It Must Mean Something. I'd better not attempt to guess what.

Oh, you must be fishing, but I'll bite, anyway, because we Libras are like that, no dignity at all when it comes to liking people and showing it:

Oh, Penelope, wonderful, lovely Penelope! You're not a mess.

(I'm such a slut....Oh! Oh! Your turn.) :laugh:

The people who share your birthday are much more respectable than mine. So I think I deserved a little reassuring boost to my morale. Thank you.

Much appreciated! ;-)

People who are Libras are meant to be either, bossy boots, sorting people out like Margaret Thatcher. Or ditherers like me and Oscar. I think I imagine him to be a ditherer, because I mix him up with Stephen Fry.
Which are you?

Okay, now we're getting to the point at which I would be best advised to move to a personal message, because you are so close to pulling my covers. How about you, Penelope? Are you really only a ditherer? I think most people who know me would say I'm a ditherer, yet...my job consists of recruiting, training, supervising, scheduling and mentoring enough volunteers to support a 24-hour crisis line every single day of the year, co-facilitate support groups, give presentations.... (Come whisper-close, here, Penelope). It's giving the impression of dithering that allows me to TOTALLY RULE THE WORLD!!! Whuh-huh-huh-ha. Oops. I gave it away. I'm a tyrant.
