Yeah, the one I have is similar to your first one (about light angle).

Just found out about neck ring lights, didn't even know they were a thing. How comfortable is it?

Someone recommended headlamp to me few years back, but I haven't come across a one that works good as book light, most of them are super-bright for the purpose.

Just looked it up, it looks more like a normal torch attached to head strap than like your average headlamp, and it's a bit above my budget for a book light, but the reviews look good so can be a good long term solution.

Thanks for the recommendation!

"Glocusent USB Rechargeable Book Light" seems to be pretty highly recommended, leaning towards getting that one.

I use non-rechargeable one, it takes 2 CR20232 batteries, and while it does last a long time, the "optimal brightness" phase doesn't last long, most of the time it's just dim light where I have to squint my eyes a bit to properly read.

The Eyes of the Dragon is a good option, but it's not representative of rest of King's work.

Same here, except haven't really gotten into Stephen King, and my favourite being Andromeda Strain. Sphere was also really good though.

Thanks! Well it's not as well as you, but not bad for an average Joe like me 😀

Wow, already on to your second card. I am impressed!

I haven't gotten Bingo yet, but all rows other than 4th have 3 boxes marked. For columns, B, C and E have 3 entries each. Some of these are repeats though, so won't count for full coverage.

This is just me reading naturally though, and if I don't get any Bingo by year end, will start looking for recommendations for remaining boxes.

How did you like The Hollow Places?

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

Cool! As long as you were able to choose something! 😀

On a separate note, I don't have any author signed books, should try to fix that some day.

[–] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

Ah, like finding any loopholes or minor mistakes. Seen that enough times in movies!

Cool, will add it to my list!
