PhilD: I'm in for the $10 prize.
My favorite game is Thief II: The Metal Age and my hobby is collecting toys (Action Figures, Hot Wheels, Pez Dispensers etc.) Some vintage, some new. I also play a lot of video games. :)
*Puts on monocle* I see you're a man of good taste(I also love that game a lot). ;)
That entry is valid and works for this contest....entered and good luck. :)
=================================================
Microfish_1: It is a parody of a bit from Robert McCloskey's
Centerburg Tales, the sequel to his masterpiece of ya fiction
Homer Price. You can still buy them cheaply on Amazon, and maybe they are in your local library. Totally worth reading them, and they are quick, enjoyable, and comedic reads, too.
I highly recommend them, even if you don't do a lot of reading today. :D
I will try to check them out sometime if I have time/remember. :)
Microfish_1: Ah, that is one reason I prefer fiction to textbooks/too deep/sluggy NF books. I myself prefer the musicals and the comedies/rom-coms form the Golden Age of movies to the scifi/horror and even many of the mysteries/thrillers.
I like a bit of all of em, tbh....one of my favorites is Arsenic and Old Lace, and another is Mr Blandings builds his dream house.
As for long stuff, I even mean fiction....I would get those bulky but good suspense/conspiracy type thrillers/etc with over 500 pages and also get like 2-3 at one time and over time I burnt myself out a bit.....now I cut back and read a bit more sparingly. :)
