[close] “Do not use semicolons,” Kurt Vonnegut once said. “They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.” George Bernard Shaw said: "Not using semicolons is a symptom of mental defectiveness, probably induced by camp life." But whichever side of the semicolon divide you fall, please leave your opinions and views here, but be nice... at least try to be nice, because, after all, it's only punctuation?! About Me/Tom Conrad and why I set up this group: I used a fair few commas, dashes, exclamation marks and especially ellipses in my début novel, Rich Pickings For Ravens, but not one solitary semicolon. It's what inspired my latest novella, That Semicolon Bitch Had To Die.... I realised I hadn't used them, wondered why I didn't, was it purely coincidental or some previously dormant/unrealised prejudice lying deep within my unconscious. Anyway, I started to write That Semicolon Bitch Had To Die...., spoke to friends about semicolons, soon realising everyone seems to have a view, and I even found that beautiful quote by Kurt Vonnegut. All of which means, here I am, and here you are, maybe/hopefully. Shameless plug continuing - you can find my novella here: - That Semicolon Bitch Had To Die.... by Tom Conrad UK http://amzn.to/QvF8ss US http://amzn.to/QwmiVI

[close] This group started out as one person who hates to read, trying to make a change. She was inspired by her awesome cousin who LOVES to read and had seen that he had done a challenge like this last year, so...She challenged herself to read 30 books in one years time. Once some of her friends found out, they wanted to join her for moral support. How sweet. :) If you wanna join, PLEASE do! Let's show everyone that we can make time to read and further our intelligence. Dec 1st, 2011 - Dec 1st, 2012
