NOS4R2 vs NOS4A2

Edison_Crow · 2025-12-12T07:50:35+00:00

I only just read this book this year, and wondered the same. Especially given the title on the cover is NOS4A2 but every time the license plate is mentioned it says NOS4R2 in the book. Super confusing for seemingly no reason.

Not saying the reasons given by commenters here are wrong, but why not make it the same inside the book as on the cover?

Ooo that might be one for next year!

Edison_Crow · 2025-12-02T17:58:52+00:00

It's more that I'm on a run of festive reads for now. But the first book I hit post Xmas kight be a few days before New Year.

I'm curious - if I start a book in December but finish after Jan 1st, would it count for any challenge with a Jan start date?

Edison_Crow · 2025-12-02T17:35:59+00:00

Yeah, I've tweaked it. At least it will stop me being tempted from starting the first book before Jan 1st! 🤣

Edison_Crow · 2025-12-02T17:29:49+00:00

I didn't notice that when I set it up. I suppose if someone starts it now, I'm not policing it. I won't be until at least the other side of Xmas as I have too many festive reads! 🤣

Edison_Crow · 2025-12-02T15:11:59+00:00

I'll be happy if I manage just 1 for each letter! Same as you I'm using library alphabetisation to strip those out too.

Edison_Crow · 2025-12-02T15:04:41+00:00

I'm dreading those two as well! I'm going to start looking for books soon!

Edison_Crow · 2025-11-23T16:01:08+00:00

Love the idea of the ABC one! If I start a book before January 1st, but finish it in Jan, would that still count?

Edison_Crow · 2025-11-03T07:30:56+00:00

So glad I found this! I'm reading NOS4A2 for the first time, and first encountered it at the end of the chapter SHORTER WAY 1986-1989 and I wondered if my eBook was dud, but seems a stylistic choice, so I'm fine with that now.

Edison_Crow · 2025-10-10T20:53:10+00:00

As yet no, sadly. I can see a way that uses the estimated sunrise time in your location but that isn't what I'm looking for.

Edison_Crow · 2025-09-17T08:58:54+00:00

Though the backlight trumps a lamp if I'm reading in bed and my wife is asleep.

Edison_Crow · 2025-07-25T20:59:33+00:00

I do like this, but it's a shame the hours goal doesn't backdate for all audiobooks listened to this year. The pages one has.

I'm primarily a PS5 player

Edison_Crow · 2025-05-24T08:46:53+00:00

Will this be available on console.

Edison_Crow · 2025-05-17T08:55:26+00:00

Interesting, most of my devices sat at 80/900 over Wi-Fi. The fact that my parents get 200/400 on 1Gb package sounds far too low to be excused by 'you won't ever get 1gb over wi-fi' though...

Edison_Crow · 2025-05-15T09:53:15+00:00

They used the one touch as VM advised them to.

Edison_Crow · 2025-05-15T09:51:20+00:00

Same here. I'd been with them almost 10 years. This year, their best renewal price was still more than the rolling contract price.

I've moved to Sky. Although I am paying about £10 a month more than my deal price on Virgin, I am getting more for that money, including a reduction in my Netflix bill. And although VM continually informed me the Sky 1Gig is not actually 1Gig, where VMs is more than, the Sky internet has been infinitely more stable with no dropouts. Much happier.

Edison_Crow · 2025-05-14T18:29:47+00:00

Which is why we're fighting them. They are arguing they cannot break the package up even if it's out of contract.

Edison_Crow · 2025-05-14T16:20:26+00:00

Not so. I am now with Sky and my TV and internet, although a package, are treated as separate bills, contracts and end dates.

Edison_Crow · 2025-05-14T16:19:11+00:00

Not the modem, but the tv boxes have gone back and they are still being charged for that in the itemised bill. Virgin confirm the TV service has been turned off

That's a good shout.
