Yes, thank you. I mentioned it above as one that I read. Technically, it was on audio book. Wasn't that in-depth but I was entertained. I was actually working a full-time job at the time. I listened to the entire book during my shift. After walking out for the day I had to remember, "oh yeah, a millennium didn't pass, only 8 hours. π"

Good suggestions! Yeah, I'm one of those folks that likes nuance, so anything that science fiction-y is totally fine. One thing I like to read (and write, since I also write short stories) is exploration of the fantastical. Something out of the ordinary to give a different perspective on the human experience.
I'm not against libraries. It's just that I prefer reading physical books. But with a library it's a lot of stress to remember the due date (although I usually finish books long before the due date), and it does make me slightly uncomfortable that the library keeps a record of every book read (I'm sure it sounds paranoid, but I also know on here I'm in good company. lol). While my reading material isn't anything noteworthy it just makes me uncomfortable.
So I prefer raiding Good Will or bargain book stores for secondhand books. No due date, no record that I bought it (since I pay in cash, although I'm sure if you're really desperate you can look at security cam footage when I bought the books and cross-reference). But since I can't afford that I figured I could make do with digital books until I can afford to buy books again.
Thanks. I did read one of his novels a while ago (not i-robot, but I forget the name of it). I was kind of bored by his novel, TBH. But if I may give it a second go at some point.
Thanks, I'll look into those.
Thanks. Downloaded it to my library.
What are you interested in? Let a rip!
Chronicle was surprisingly good. I thought it was going to be another teen friends / superhero movie but it got surprisingly deep. Touched on themes of friendship, family trauma, abuse of power, and legacy.
Seems odd, but I gave you an upvote. π
Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you can still "borrow" cats in the neighborhood like I try to do.
A tip for renting: work with an independent rental agent. They're hard to find (especially for something small like apartments or townhouses) but often spot what wrong long before you get there. Once I find a job that pays enough to move I'll be paying for one to move across the country.
Thanks! Bookmarked. Kind of on the fence about the ethics of that one, though.
If something isn't free I don't like to find a way to make it free since that devalues it (for me and for others). Obviously if it's free / in the public domain, that's one thing. But I might see if there's stuff on there that's public domain but not on Gutenberg.
