pjnelson 03/13/24 4:50:30 PM #103:	Has anyone ever read War and Peace? I'd been under the impression that it's an outstanding piece of literature but I tried it and just couldn't do it. I think I forced myself through the first forty pages, give or take, and bailed. I just couldn't get into it at all. I have the complete works of Shakespeare in a fancy gold leaf tome. I generally quite like it, though some of his plays don't do it for me, like his comedies. The Comedy of Errors comes to mind. --- I'm not here for friends.

Juhanor 03/18/24 4:26:22 PM #112:	cuh posted... ^Glad to hear it! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/dbf7ecac.jpg Id like to find a physical or digital book of Krazy Kat dailies. I know theres quite a few books of the Sundays on Amazon Doctor said yep, they were seizures, 2x = epilepsy but the span of time between them being almost half a year was a good sign. Got more meds and he ordered some testing, MRI, EEG, sleep study etc. I have to go six months w/o one before I can drive again though, aiiiieee I love driving. Oh well, it's all good for now. Daily selection is definitely more sporadic; it looks like "Kat Who Walked in Beauty: 1920" and 24/26/27/28 have been collected. Library of American Comics did at least one volume, 1934.

wanderingshade 03/22/24 1:30:57 AM #117:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] I found the second book to be kinda meh, Control isn't really an interesting character at all, IMO. Besides some of the description of initial science experiments on the border ~~(they sort of corner rabbits to collide with it and as soon as any amount of their body passes through the barrier, their entire... mass kind of just vanishes).~~ It doesn't get interesting like most of the parts in the first book until like Chapter 23. The third book was also WAY more interesting in how they split the narrative. Especially reading about Saul and the Seance and Science Brigade. Also yeah, I think VanderMeer announced like a few years ago he was going to write another book, but I guess it's going to about other people not really connected to the Southern Reach facility. So it's like how Douglas Adams made fun of his series calling new books things like "A new book in the increasingly misnamed Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy". I guess it's supposed to be finished and out by this September. --- "You're made of spare parts, aren't ya, bud?" <cite>wanderingshade posted [p:979498863] in Reading Th...
