Ouch! True though. I just hope he doesn't pull a Martin and shift his focus to the TV adaptation.

Agreed, but the character said it in the book did he not?

Yes, but when attributing the quote it should read: Author, Character, Book.

Got it.

Reread an old favorite

Run out?!? Bite your tongue!! There is never a shortage. Bookstores, resale places, internet downloads.... some even free! Run out indeed... lol!

Thanks @Fearlessfreep I have only ever re-read 2 books in my life, I have a crazy memory.
Haha @AmyLF good advice, very good advice in fact, I run a 2nd hand book stall of a Wednesday morning, the troops always go through it to find books I might like, I do have 3 up my sleeve at the moment, that will last me into next week. My problems with books is the same as my problem with women, not attracted to the same things as everybody else, and I have a very narrow band of interests.

@Rugglesby People certainly seem to fall hard on the to reread to not reread front. Maybe it is a question of memory. I've several books that I'll revisit every few years. My new thing is listening to the audio versions of books I've read. Anecdotally, there may be a genetic component. All my kids are big time rereaders.

"...harder to find the right one" or AFRAID of finding the right one? This goes for both genders.

My ex used to gripe when I would reread a book. I would tell her that I was 'gleaning'. That went way over her head. I don't know why it did?? She was a school teacher and an LVN. Now she's an EX, ha ha.

I'm certainly not risk averse in that area but I do worry at times that I'm getting far too comfortable being alone. I'm still putting myself out there but I won't end up with someone because I'm afraid to be by myself. I hope you didn't see that quote as a whine, it's just a quote from one of my favorite books. It has many great lines, I'll be posting another. Good advice though, and I will certainly keep trying

It’s not a bad quote... I didn’t think it was a whine. I’m at the same place in my life where a good book is better then a bad company ??. @Fearlessfreep

Aye, there's the rub.

And within a comfortable distance. I don't plan to ever move from this area, and most people of the age I want to be involved with are not interested in moving either. Then this thing where it is winter and frigid, and even someone on the fence about moving would look at that and decline.

@HippieChick, Agreed. I'm, sometimes I think unfortunately, far to settled here. The romantic in me loves the idea of meeting someone and falling in love and moving across country but that's not an option for me at least for a few years and i wouldn't ask anyone to do something I'm unwilling to do.

When it comes to pizza I'm easy. And to steal a line from Woody Allen, "even my worst one was right on the money."

Quoting Woody Allen may not be the best way to find female companionship...

This has come to mind.
