We can't cuddle them anymore, we had some issues with that a few years ago.
"Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is the deadliest spotted fever of the world. In most of the BSF-endemic areas, capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are the principal host for the tick Amblyomma cajennense, which is the main vector of BSF."

Tsk, tsk, Anon.

>> No.8463588

>>8463511
Nope. I never read anything unless I'm genuinely interested in it, which is why I have read so few of the books on the chart. The only exception is going to be the Catcher in the Rye, which I'll be reading (i.e. forcing myself to read) very soon just because I feel obligated to by all the discussion the book gets absolutely everywhere.

Yeah, considering my age.
Juging from the exams people take for a philosophy degree, I could probably pass a lot of them without too much trouble, except logic.
I'm probably the most well read person I know for my age desu, but I do know quite a few well read people with whom I can discuss stuff.

I always drop a book when I recognize it handles the same things I have already thought / went trough in my head.

Or Blood Meridian, for that matter. But I think the point of the chart isn't to be unique, since /lit/ isn't one person and therefore, by definition, has no individual taste.
