I have slowly been reading this one for a few months now. My sister gave it to me but I feel bad because I can’t get into it and it makes me feel stupid. ![1000002220](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/2/9/1/291c50fa0f30dde3adc0487a38a10c4eda588ef5.jpeg) ---

I was mad when I found out my collection of Library cards was useless as the new thing is to have them expire after a few years unless you go in person. Sucks as I live in a poor neighborhood and the rich town next door charges $150 a year for non-resident to get a card. ---

I use a a Kindle paperwhite .Nice thing about it is can take it with me everywhere as small and slim, battery lasts for ages. Have tons of ebooks on it to read whatever dark romantic ebook takes my fancy.And if I dont have my Paperwhite, can just use my phone instead. ---

It was published on March 19, 1984, by Knopf in New York. > The book is about "one of the most compelling paradoxes of history: the pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interests". It details four major instances of government folly in human history: the Trojans' decision to move the Greek horse into their city, the failure of the Renaissance popes to address the factor... The folly of governments. That’s about it. ---

She said that a lot of sentences and paragraphs only repeat other sentences and paragraphs and the trick was to recognize which ones to skip in the first place. We found that very funny 🤣 but didn’t make fun of her, she was very intelligent. She spoke 7 languages fluently.

You read the whole “Foundation” series by Asimov? Very nice! lots of interesting ideas. 1776 is a great book as well. All about George OG Washington and the fight against Britain in what will became the United States. Another great book is Martin Eden by Jack London. ---

Finally received my copy of _Death’s End_, looks like another departure from the structure of the two prior books, now there are several timelines overlapping and in tandem. We’ll see how it plays out. Also got _Declare_ by Tim Powers and the full _Black Company_ series in a single trade volume. Inspiration for worldbuilding. ---

> [@LordOdysseus](#): > > What was those both books like @Salartarium ? Is the SW as good as the visual franchise? Michael A. Stackpole is good at writing in an expanded universe and building a world with other writers. He’s not a great writer, but his take on Star Wars is refreshingly mature. Unfortunately, these novels require quite a bit of lore knowledge to appreciate, but it does _feel_ like good old Star Wars when reading. ---
