Yep. It's just me and you, one hidden member, and 31 guests. If I didn't mention you, you weren't on when I looked at the list.
So, anyway, I hope to sleep like any normal teenager tonight and do like most teenagers do and wake-up at about eleven tomorrow. Or today, I guess. And then, I'll continue straining my brain to read Faulkner's The Sound and The Fury, which is very difficult, I've gotta say. I suppose I'll eat some pancakes first but, oh well, it's beside the point. 'What is the point?' you may ask. It's just that. Life is good, it's late and I am going to bed.
...but first I have to pee.
The hell you say!
Anyway, what person in their right mind (oh, that's right, CRAZYDiamond) would read the Sound and the Fury? I read one of his short stories called "Tomorrow" and loved it. So an instructor recommended The Sound. . . . It were horrible. Like a Russian novel, I never figured out who was who, or even which decade he happened to be writing in at the moment.
You should really expand your reading list.
I'm an inveterate reader but I never made it past the first paragraph of The Sound and The Fury.
I often wonder about the guests. Two members, one hidden member, and 31 guests... kinda spooky.

We put out the good china, and the nice Cabernet, and they stay hidden anyway.
I now realize how perverted this thread title sounds...
And by the way, why ya putting down Faulkner? I'll admit, the first 75 pages are hard to understand, as they are told from the point of view of a mentally handicapped person. This makes it hard to understand what's going on because he doesn't see things the way we do. But really, it's obviously got to be somewhat good if it's a well-known American classic.
