Its funny.. I used to read CONSTANTLY as a kid.. everything I could get my hands on.. As a teenager I started slipping, but my first job at the local newspaper had periods of doing nothing for 2 hours at a time and they didn't care if I read, as long as I kept up with what I was supposed to.. So, I had two books.. I'm sure you could guess one them - Jaws, and the other was Papillon.. I would read each book, cover to cover, then just turn right around and start reading it over, because I didn't have enough money to buy more books.. I just read the same two over and over.. probably 30 times, each..
So, I can, without a doubt, tell you that the Jaws movie is MUCH better than the book (odd, I know) but the Papillon book is MUCH better than the movie..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
