A State Trooper was patrolling off the main highway late one night.
He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly
glowing.
He carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then
He sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, filing her fingernails.
Puzzled by this surprising situation, the trooper walks to
the car and gently raps on the driver's window.
The young man lowers his window. 'Uh, yes, Officer?'
The trooper asks: 'What are you doing?'
The young man says: 'Well, Officer, I'm reading a magazine.'

Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the
Trooper says: 'And her, what is she doing?'

The young man shrugs: 'Sir, I believe she's filing her fingernails.'

Now, the trooper is totally confused. A young couple,
alone, in a car, at night in a lover's lane ... And nothing is happening!
The trooper asks: 'What's your age, young man?'

The young man says: 'I'm 21, sir.'
The trooper asks: 'And her .... what's her age?'

The young man looks at his watch and replies:
'She'll be 18 in 11 minutes.'

I agree with everyone else. I love to sit and delve into another world. It's like I can almost see, smell and feel what the characters are seeing, smelling and feeling. My heart even races when they're scared or running, etc. The better the book and author the better my experience with it.

Definitely chapters for me. The world is a busy place and I find that I don't always have the time to sit down and read a long drawn out story. If the first chapter is good and holds my interest then I'll be back for more chapters. It's the same way for a book I hold in my hand. I don't finish it in one sitting. I have a book marker and I lay it down and come back to it when I have the time. That also creates a "me" time. Nice cup of tea, feet tucked under me and off I go into another world.

That was great! <img src="/images/emoticons/evil6.gif" alt="evil4">

Today I'm feeling optimistic. That's unusual for me, I'm a pessimist. <img src="/images/emoticons/evil6.gif" alt="evil4">

hurting. (backache)

I think I know some of those people.

A balcony to nowhere. I've seen stairs to nowhere too. <img src="/images/emoticons/evil6.gif" alt="evil4">

From another story site for me as well. This is a nice place and seems to be well run.
