Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Ooh, that's one I've been meaning to read for a while. Overall, how are you enjoying the book so far?

From the book:

You know who bases their entire lives on their emotions? Three-year-old kids. And dogs. You know what else three-year- olds and dogs do? Shit on the carpet.

haha. I'll definitely be giving it a read soon :)

I'm about 10% through, it is really good.

It really starts strong with an interesting anecdote about the poet Charles Bukowski.

I read it a while back. If I remember rightly, it has mixed reviews because it doesn't click with everyone. I remember it being an enjoyable and easy read so I say give it a go.

Definitely! Got it in my list :) Been good to get an E-Reader. It's really got me enjoying searching for books and reading again.

I read on my eNote, it is not the best since it is 10" but it works well enough.

My old 7" e-reader has been claimed by my 7yo, he reads on it every day.

Mines even smaller! Only 6inches. I thought id struggle with the size, but find it pretty comfortable to use :)

I like the weight of the smaller one.... But I don't see it often
