What are you reading right now?

Spoiler: Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father. Sorry.

I think there's probably a cut-off point where you have to say look, if you haven't read the book/seen the movie/TV series by now, spoilers aren't spoilers because you left it too late. BK written when? 1879? I think the statute of limitations for spoilers has expired on that one.

Incidentally Marie, that is the best GIF ever. Ev-er.

My remark was in jest.

I have a copy of BK sitting on my shelf - started reading it - lost interest - plan to pick it up again at some point. By that point, I won't have any recollection of Marie's post most likely.

But still, I can't get behind your reasoning since it doesn't take into account how old people are. Sure, if I've been around since BK was released, the logic would make sense, but I'm in my 20s. Only so many old ass books I can read given my age. We aint all Trollheart the Ol'fart's age y'know.

I rarely care about spoilers actually, unless a story has a mystery that's REALLY well constructed and fun to unravel

I once remember a friend spoiling Scooby Doo Zombie Island's plot twist for me - boy was I incensed!

Nobody's my age. I remember saying to Plutarch only the other... uh, ignore that maybe. Slip of the tongue. When you get as old as I am - which is, you know, not crazy old, not so old as that you'd think I was (HA HA HA Funny yes?) a vampire or something, just you know, old - oh look! What's that over there?

No really, you have to look! It's the most amazing thing I ever...

A very nasty man. May have been a genius, but in my book that doesn't give you licence to be a prick. About halfway through; can't wait for it to be over.

maybe part because he was an Alcoholic..people change in different ways but they do change.
Husband use to rescue a past good friends's husband, every pay day he would find the Guy eventually, usually in a heap of all sorts...
spent every single penny not just on himself he would attract some so called friends and they were up for that..The Plough Beddington Surrey was his favorite drinking hole.

Yeah but no. According to the biography, he was that way from a kid. Once a prick, always a prick it would seem. Alcohol makes it worse sure, but it can't be blamed if you were always this way. And he was. A right little ****er.
