Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Which one of you recommended the novel Wanderers by Chuck Wendig? I know for a fact it was someone on this message board who told me to read it. I'm 9% of the way through and this is just terrible. I paid money for this book! I mean I'm still going to read the whole thing, I just want to warn people away from it. How bad? The premise sounds close Stephen King's The Stand.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:That post was based on 9% of a very long book and let me tell you, it got a lot better. Some interesting twists and turns, some fun ideas. However, there was far too much cliche nonsense. Some of the characters were complete caricatures. I wouldn't recommend it and I rather wish I hadn't read/paid money for it. It actually got better but still ended up ducking? That's a shame. That book is a hefty time investment.

Xanderkish posted:So I recently found out, to my shock, that the Unabomber's manifesto, Industrial Society and its Future, is apparently something that non-fringe people read and discuss. For the nutjobs, the bible comes first; this is a close second. And, they take "Uncle Ted's" word as gospel.

eightysixed posted:Just curious, what is books.txt and why is it made in NotePad? Some benefits: It's available offline, you can format it however you want, you own the data, absolutely no tracking, no one needs to know you read the entirety of A Crown of Thorns and Roses.
