Jennifer and I had a very impassioned conversation about how wrong she is about her book rating system on Goodreads, how unfair it is for her to expect every book to have Gods walking among us in order to earn a high rating, how resentful I now am of American Gods, and how we are now book twins because we are both reading Water for Elephants.
also, not getting punched in the face.
one of the things I said was that our discussion of these books would eventually end:
when you realize how very very wrong you have been, and that you were perhaps too preoccupied with non-holistic detective agency things while reading it, and that you should really, really give DGHDA all the stars ever, because it is spectacular. THEN this particular discussion will be over, and we will argue about something entirely different, like... I don't know. I'm sure we will find something else to disagree on!
and then Jennifer internet-punched me in the face.
sure, we've talked a lot about how harshly I judge Jennifer's book rating system, but I feel we may need to address Jennifer's harsh (and so very very wrong) judgment of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, and also her internet chat violence.
I only got less than one day of appreciating not being punched in the face. I mean, is that REALLY too much to ask for?
