Internat'l Blog Comment Day
I think we should initiate an International Comment on Blogs day. Like you aren't allowed, on that day, to simply peruse what people have said: on this one day, you MUST comment if you visit.
Who's with me?

The comments to this entry are closed.
Stephen King: Dreamcatcher
Too gross for words.
Ann Patchett: Taft: A Novel (P.S.)
Nothing she wrote before Bel Canto can ever compare, but this novel was pretty good anyway.
Sara Gruen: Water for Elephants: A Novel
Wow, I really like this book. It's entertaining, has good characters and is well-plotted.
Karen Joy Fowler: Wit's End
Go, KJF!
Mei Ng: Eating Chinese Food Naked: A Novel
This book jumped around from character to character in point of view, which took some getting used to. Overall it was pretty entertaining.
Samantha Gillison: The Undiscovered Country
Sort of a dreamy read. A couple with a child go to the interior of New Guinea and their marriage frays gradually. With a surprise ending!
Khaled Hosseini: A Thousand Splendid Suns
In some ways better than his first, this book chronicles two women's lives in Afghanistan first under Soviet rule and then under the Taliban. I enjoyed it despite the hardships.
Anita Amirrezvani: The Blood of Flowers: A Novel
This was a good novel, very informative on the subject of rugmaking and social practices of the middle east a couple of hundred years ago.
Stanley E. Ely: Living Alone Creatively: How Twelve People Do It
Anne Tyler: Celestial Navigation
Each chapter is another character among people who know each other in Baltimore.
Ann Patchett: Run
The story of one fateful night when a family confronts itself. It's subtle and well-written and comes out in a satisfying way.
Kim Edwards: The Memory Keeper's Daughter
Great premise; a doctor delivers his own twins, and gives away the one with down syndrome to his nurse: sentimentally done. I enjoyed the book for the characters, however.
You probably mean me!! :o) Sometimes I do go a'snoopin' without leaving a calling card. But comments are fun to receive, so I agree -- I'm with you!

I mean you, and about 90 other people every day :) And I do it too! I was just imagining suddenly what it would be like to hear from everyone.

What day should we choose? I always get a lot of hits on Monday and Thursday, for some reason. Maybe those would be good days. Of course, if everyone is at work, it would be more inconvenient for them to quickly read their dailies. Commenting does slow you down.

No comment. Unless today is that day, then . . . ummm . . . yes? Is that an appropriate answer?

One must comment as one feels one must. Dude.

I think it sounds good!

Comments: I can't comment at work, where I usually check in, but I need to tell you how much I love this place. The inside of your head is a facinating and funny place.

Aw thanks Kirstoona

Yeah, all those people who drop by without commenting, those freeloaders. What's THAT all about? This should be a MEME, right? I'm not sure what a MEME is, but this sure sounds like one. You rock. I rock, too. Come to my site and tell me so.

Perhaps if someone has the skill, he or she can make a BANNER that says "INTERNATIONAL BLOG COMMENT DAY," and then the date. And everyone can send it around! Wouldn't that just be the cat's pajamas.

I think that's a most excellent idea--and here I am commenting.

This should be interesting once all the photoshoppers...errr (can't say that) people with Photoshop talents wake up. It is only noon, you know.

Visited Debra Galant's site this morning and think that you're onto something with this ‘International Blog Comment Day’ thing. I mean, it should be an annual event. This year 40 comments, next year 4000 !!!
Posted by: Raymond | March 28, 2004 at 12:01 PM
I think you have to call it "International Blog Comment or Get Your Ass Kicked, Day." That way, you leave a comment or we send our "thugs" to convince you that you made a bad decision.
IP addresses tell all, folks. My people know where to find you and your 1's and zeros.
