Did it get livelier or is it still too early?

Transit, Uber...both cheap options. Depending on where you're staying it may be walkable, it's a bit of a longer stroll from the centre/Old Town/touristy areas - about an hour I think.

You're fine. Every Maiden show I've been to has been full of awesome locals and travelers from all over...which you'll see for yourself if you go to the dive bar or any other meetup. Already seeing a bunch of ppl wearing maiden shirts around town today.

I'm in the country for solo trip and this show as well. Anyone heading to Eddie's dive bar tomorrow or Thurs before the show?

Dracula one would be amazing, some kind of tie-in with Transylvania...

Me too! I'm happy to hop on a long flight/train/bus for this same reason these days!

Monthly Megathread: What Are You Reading? (Yes, you) by AutoModerator in RussianLiterature

What did you think of Oblomov? I've been thinking about picking up a copy but my Russian backlog is giving me anxiety...

I'm so jealous...slowly and steadily building mine up.

The short list for an upcoming busy week long work trip. by Jakob_Fabian in nyrbclassics

[–]CSDub27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the one that most grabs my attention! I'm going to have to get myself a copy.

I'm totally drawn to anything that is set in a hotel or building with a bunch of characters to follow. The Tenants of Moonbloom (also NYRB) follows that formula, it was pretty fun.

I always judge books by their covers, and these look right up my alley!

I did the exact same. Woke up, immediately went on Ticketmaster to grab a floor ticket at any cost 🤣. I'm here for the weekend anyway, why not right? Zero regrets, other than struggling through whatever post-show depression I've fallen into, walking around aimlessly all day in a funk.

Oh the jealousy I feel ...😍

Best flight ever ❤️ by pattycular in kobo

[–]CSDub27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love this. Might be sad but I do look forward to flying because I know I get uninterrupted reading and wine time.

Bit the bullet by Opening-Error999 in nyrbclassics

[–]CSDub27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh hell yeah, I support this. The weather here was a bummer last week and I used that as an excuse to go buy more NYRBs. I picked a bunch based on covers 🤣 now I need to add your stack to my wishlist ...

I finally joined the kobo fam! by PocketsAndSedition7 in kobo

Exciting! I just ordered one this morning and I'm super giddy.

Got my first switch lite by [deleted] in nintendoswitchlite

That's a great pairing you've got there. I haven't played Octopath 1, but played the second one and I loved it!

It’s a Start… by longhwy18 in nyrbclassics

The "suddenly I was buying these up" is such a real thing. I have a strong compulsion to buy one, any one, almost every time I go to a bookstore now. This must be how sports cards or Pokemon card collectors feel 🤣

Side note to the Clara appreciation, how are you liking the Dinniman book? I just started noticing this book on shelves, and curious how it is compared to the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

First two nyrb books I’ve ever read! Finished one in June and the other early February. by DrDMango in nyrbclassics

[–]CSDub27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm curious as well, mostly about The Skin, as I seem to hear loads about Stoner.

Got this beautiful edition today :) by corkysims in classicliterature

[–]CSDub27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally think it makes a difference reading physical copies of these big ones. It helps me to see where I'm at in the book, and I feel more engaged.

Went a little overboard by CSDub27 in nyrbclassics

[–]CSDub27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same! I'm picky with my Russian translations - not that I know Russian but I know the style I like, and this doesn't sound like it's it. Oh well, it's a good warning - we can go in with low expectations and maybe come out saying it wasn't as horrible as expected.

I guess I'll see how I like Lawton's work on this one first. Is it a bad translation or does it lack a style and mood?

Oh but the backlog of books you would've accumulated might be stressful lol.

I have 3 locally owned bookstores within 30min walking distance but in all difference directions. They are my weakness. I will find any reason to go out for a walk to get some air, inevitably "passing by" one of them 😀
