I know I should go to the gym to a) get exercise and b) distract myself, but I really cannot leave my computer right now

My new year's resolution was to read a book a week this year - anyone got any good book recommendations?

Do you like fiction?

Yeah for sure. Weirdly switch between fiction and biography, but honestly looking for anything. Will read any genre as long as it's good.

Check out GK Chesterton, great writer. He writes a little of everything, so you can read his biographies or his fiction.

Specifically I would recommend 'Manalive' and 'The Napoleon of Notting Hill' (both fiction, haven't read any of his biographies)

Been a while, but I loved reading "The Man Who Was Thursday."

Only non-fiction of his I've read is "Orthodoxy." It's a quasi-theological read, quite well written, if you're of that ilk. Fits nicely with C.S. Lewis and Tolkien in a critique of the modern era rooted in medievalism and classical literature.

Loved "The Man Who Was Thursday" as well, but as theological reads go, it's definitely up there. Although, you could just enjoy the ride and ignore the theology bits.

I haven't gotten to "Orthodoxy" yet. Tried my hand at "Heretics" first, but it's way too cultured for me – barely recognized many of the works/philosophies he was critiquing.

Pozzo, any other specific works of his you would recommend, either fic or nonfic? He's so prolific, it's hard to know what direction to go

Bastion of the Entitled.

Love it.

mikey asked for a REKT

My boyfriend got me a conure the other day, so now I'm feeling a bit less stressed about the score release. Or at least now I have something to occupy my mind and my time until I know whether I'm getting into heaven or hell.

This is great. Might try heretics as well then so I can see how much my philosophy knowledge has slipped in recent years.

Unfortunately, no. Those are the only ones I've read. If you like his style, though, I'd recommend C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy. Great read, and WAY better than Narnia. Much more nuanced, and more maturely written.

Cool, thanks. I'll check it out

I don't think I'm up to Vanessa yet, but I'll let you know my thoughts.

Corrine is annoying. You can totally tell she thinks she's hot shit, but she is not.. she's just obnoxious.

I mean...she has a nanny...

Like, as an adult?

yeah, exactly

After reading Spivey's responses this morning, I think I'm in love.

Also good morning y'all. I have arrived in the thread and intend to stay here until I turn grey.

[lawstudent47]

The waiting is killing me already. I managed to distract myself for the first three weeks and not think about it too much, but now I keep flashing back to doing the passages out of order and I'm panicking about misbubbling

+1 same here, it's torture

Four "no's" so far. Show yourselves!

I voted "yes", but in a way I wish they'd switch to just releasing them on the date given so it would alleviate all this anxiety about when they're coming out.

[tuesdayninja]

Can I get a maybe option in the poll?

[alpha kenny body]

im seriously not even batting an eyelash over scores; so much more dope shit and fun times are happening for me to ruin it with neuroticism and worry.

Wholeheartedly agree. It's atrocious.

agreed, but it would be great if that trend started in feb/june....not now please

[shotgunheist]

So many people have posted that "scores not coming out til tomorrow" email from the dispute email (twitter and reddit). If it isn't some kind of well coordinated spam hack or something then I'm impressed at the coordinated bamboozle.

[SalMoney13]

So what are the chances scores are released before the ~4:30pm EST window??

[cherrygalore]

They're looking for a new LSAC president. Spivey or Killoran should run and #MakeLSATGreatAgain

Chatter on Twitter about people's apps going complete already today if they were waiting for a score to report. Anyone notice this?

2 of mine went complete today but i just thought that was cause of first day back from holiday break. can't it be "complete" while still "holding for score"?
