Yeah, the book is pretty highly recommended. It comes up often when asking for recommendation from King's books.

Decided on what are you going to start yet?

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, I know it's well into the future, but it's still a sequel so was thinking if I should read the original trilogy again. I have read them twice, so they should be a pretty quick read, but I may also get bored because of that, I have become less patient when it comes to books now.

Well, I won't be starting it this week, so just finish the books and let me know if I am safe. I may still decide to re-read them first, but at least then I would be doing it because I want to, not because I have to. Makes a big difference.

Since you have just finished Arc 1 and started Arc 2, how much would I miss if I start Arc 2 but only recall main plot points from Arc 1 without all the details and characters?

[–] dresden@discuss.online 1 points 4 days ago

It pretty much always feel appropriate. Let's hope for a day when it isn't!

That's nice!

I wish I could play game while doing my work stuff, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that, maybe if I had 2 brains and 4 hands. 😀

Heh, unfortunately most of our history is violent. Though there were many peaceful times too, but those were limited to specific areas. Violence was more prevalent. I'll take a look if our local store has it.

Yeah, Design Patterns book can be a bit dense, I am also reading it very slowly. Also, it's the kind of book that I'll probably consult many times in the future.

I would look forward to it! Do remember to let us know whenever it reaches any kind of usable state.

I understand that it can take a long time due to other priorities, but now you know there are some other people waiting for it too, so it may give you some additional motivation!

Good to hear about Kobo. My old e-reader is still functioning, but I am keeping an eye out on what to get next. Kobo is the most probably one, unless something else come along by then.

Oh, why is that? I wonder if some issue from Amazon (like specs change, or some kind of DRM).

Guess that just means I shouldn't buy any ebooks from Amazon!
