Kelyn's Name
Welcome to my record of the '50 Challenge'. The idea behind the original challenge was to read 50 books in a calendar year. Well, I can do that. But it might be nice to try to keep a vague record of it. I also decided to track movies, as well. Italics mark things I have seen or read before this...

    "It’s easy to claim sweepingly intense emotions. Being the person who has to do distasteful, boring, and irritating things to keep faith with your child, day in and day out, is another matter entirely." - Jim Butcher

    "We don't have to be mean because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are." - B. Banzai

    "Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid)." - L. Long

    "Shared joy is increased, shared pain is lessened." - S. Robinson

    "The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible." - O. Wilde

    "Errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it." - T. Jefferson

    "I'm thinking that if this dilemma grows any more horns I'm going to shoot it and put it up on the wall." - H. Dresden

    "Live for nothing or die for something. Your call." - J. Rambo
