I'm unfortunately currently in a situation where I don't have a lot of options for activities and find myself somewhat bored... What do you do when you're bored?

Reading or audiobooks

Ask for recommendations how to start off on the internet and you get the same pretentious wanky comments saying their favourite book is Fahrenheit 451 or whatever that is in Celsius

Fuck that, get into some rip-roaring yarns, thrillers etc

Jack Reacher is a good place to start. Spider Shepherd is even better

The Breach by Patrick Lee is an amazing mini series

Though my favourite adventure of all time is The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of A Window And Disappeared

The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of A Window And Disappeared

Thanks for the reminder. My brother accidentally bought me the second one for my birthday a few years ago, and I stopped reading it when I realised that there was a first book. I completely forgot to start the first one when it was delivered.

Oh what a lovely surprise awaits you. The second one is nowhere near as good!
