Study Room Guidelines
Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.
We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

Not simultaneously of course but more like 100 pages out of one, then a similar amount out of the other two.

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostSort of. I've finished a couple already. One of them I started a while back, but plan to finish on vacation next week. Another one I've started is on pause until I finish one I got via ILL and don't have for very long. The history of Russia is my current bathroom book, so I expect that will take a while to get through. I won't take the library books with me on vacation, because knowing my luck I'd leave one behind."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
