Cheers!<br /><br />*Leox: ¡De acuerdo! ¡Saludos!<br /><br />*C.B. James: Thanks, glad to hear that, although I've been struggling trying to uphold my TBR Dare vow for the month of late (temptations, temptations)... It would be cool to have you join us for any of the Wolves reads, and I'll keep my eyes out for you over at the Bolaño Challenge as well. Cheers!<br /><br />*Tom: Sorry about the comments problem--I've been experimenting with blocking "anonymous comments" on non-post days because of a huge upswing in spam on the blog (all left by anonymous users), but I understand that inconveniences many people who don't have a Blogger account. Not sure what to do at this time, but I'm fed up with deleting multiple spam comments each day. Anyway, thanks for going through the hassle of leaving a comment through your alternate blog and for sharing your TBR Freezer Dare--too funny! I agree it's difficult to want to devote time to challenges when you have books on your TBR that are calling out for attention. Cheers!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-21578983709115109752011-01-26T03:40:03.402-05:002011-01-26T03:40:03.402-05:00I have never joined in a reading challenge because...I have never joined in a reading challenge because my own TBR list is so long I don't want to take on any more "lists". I like the TBR dare idea however.

A few are on my TBR shelf, in fact.<br /><br />I just read Nazi Literature in the Americas. I'm not sure I enjoyed it, but I admired it.

As for the rejected wolf badge, ha ha, I think Emily might have been the only one crazy enough to want to post that one on her blog (it does like a she-wolf indeed, though). Anyway, thanks for discovering and visiting my blog--I had added yours to my blogroll before introducing myself over there, so sorry if I startled you with the surprise "ping." Cheers!<br /><br />*Gavin: So nice to hear from you--it'd be great to have your company on some of these group reads and/or over at that Bolaño challenge. Cheers!<br /><br />*Parrish: Yeah, it's a tough job but somebody has to do it, right?

See:<br />http://bibliojunkie.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/look-what-i-have-found-between-the-books/<br /><br />I second Jill, Why can't you have the rejected wolf badge? that wolf looks like a She-wolf don't you think so? You can have Shakira's song with same title to go with the wolfish reading challenge!! lol<br /><br />May join you for Snow by Orhan Pamuk.

In the meantime, I'm not sure that anyone, uh, "appreciated" the rejected Wolf badge enough to slap it on their blog for non-cheap humor purposes!<br /><br />*Stu: Reading along with you and Rise was one of the big selling points for the Bolaño challenge for me, so the mention seemed necessary (will be reading those books in Spanish and posting dual language reviews on them in all likelihood)! In any event, I hope you'll be able to join us for as many of the Wolves reads as you see fit. Cheers!<br /><br />*Rise: Thanks, but it was impossible to resist the Bolaño/Rise tag team!<br /><br />*Emily: I'm not sure why, but I find it hysterical that you find that badge so hysterical. "Whatever, man." Way looking forward to another year of reading with y'all, though (esp. if Claire comes out of retirement)!<br /><br />*Claire: Ha, you should know by know that I have no shame and I'm therefore not above a cheap stunt like posting that photo! Will be interested in seeing whether you, Frances or I will be the first to crack in the Dare (I already feel my resolve weakening, though). Cheers!<br /><br />*Nana: Thanks and welcome to the blog! I look forward to seeing what else will appear on your Top 100 list. Cheers!<br /><br />*Frances: I think I only have to read 5 more Bolaños to reach that coveted Godzilla status, 3 of which I already have waiting for me--so no, it shouldn't be all that taxing! As for the trash talking, I should have clarified that that mostly transpires in e-mails...other than what takes place here, of course (although you were encouraging it recently on <em>Nonsuch</em>, as I recall). P.S. Your Wolves badge is too classy to permit low class company in the way of other badges (i.e. I prefer the official one).Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-7358046104118056082011-01-05T21:16:14.440-05:002011-01-05T21:16:14.440-05:00Godzilla?

Hmmm.<br /><br />And who talks trash? Only the man who lives amongst the highest concentration of Dunkin Donuts in the country. I wonder if they will deliver to you for me in March and April?<br /><br />And that lecherous wolf looks great here.
