Take some ibuprofen and have a good sleep. A couple of days and all will be fine.

I might try that.

You're young, you'll be fine. Just remember to take it with food as it's an anti-inflammatory.

Re: WPC 20K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Never actually read the Dark Tower series. Read the majority of his others though between the ages of 11 and 20 - then went on a long Terry Pratchett run with almost all his books and graduated to Clive Barker for my Horror fix.

I started to read the Dark Tower, I think I made it until half of the second book. I just didn't get into it, mostly because the protagonist was just not likable. If I don't like the most important person, and even more importantly don't care about him, then I see no sense in reading the book.

I loved the Terry Pratchett books I have read, but I have read only 3 or 4.

The Dark Tower series is actually one book over several books. It's typical King writing with a lot of past flashbacks. I remember finding the first two hard to get through but the third was better. I plan to give a go again anyway.

I need read some Pratchett as everyone keeps saying how good the books are.

Definitely give some Pratchett a read im pretty stoic at the best of times but some of Pratchetts books have made me laugh out loud on public transport.. Would recommend some of his earlier books though pre 2007 while his latest work is still really good its not got the humour it used to have.

We are talking about reading in a tech forum. We should be discussing Angry Birds, Instagram and Justin Bieber!

Angry Birds is for kids; Instagram is for kids; Bieber is still a kid.

Did that do the trick?

Its good to unplug every once in a while and lose yourself in the pages of a good book. Cant be tech all the time we aren't machines.

I haven't really read any Pratchett or King. I do remember seeing a book cover by King where a person was slowly turning into a cow. Weird.

I have to catch up on my reading, however I prefer reading off my phone because it remembers what page im on.

I'm a Giants fan by transplant. I cheer loudly for the NYJets twice a year - whenever they play the Patriots. I'm originally a Jaguars fan - simply because when I stared watching the NFL on cable in Jamaica, I had to teach myself the game and I liked what the Jags were doing at the time (always liked rooting for the upstarts), and we would get a lot of Jags games. It's easy to root for the Giants because ex Jags coach Tom Coughlin is in charge. Jets...i watch their games though, but I couldn't get behind them for some reason, except for when they play the Pats.

But I like Angry Birds.... could care less about the other two though.

A good first book by King is Firestarter or IT. If you want something a little weird than The Dark Tower series.

I support any team that plays the Patriots. Was good to watch the Giants game last night though - Put a bet on at the start of the season for them to win the superbowl then again when they went 0-6 - will be very happy if they make it, the odds I got when they were 0-6 were ridiculous.

IT is a good book but its huge!! Almost as long as The Stand.
