If you’re trapped in TK’s basement with nothing but a Kindle, use the word “aardvark” in one of your answers and we’ll mount a rescue operation! I am most definitely ahead of where I am most years.

Q&A with a Cannonballer: alwaysanswerb
How many times have you participated in CBR? CBR4 was my first year, making this my sixth! Has being a participant changed the way you read? If so, how? Yes — I actually read now.

Suddenly, upon breaking with that guy almost […]
