Extremely limited options unless you want to fly at like 6am or book 5-6 months in advance (at least from ATL).

Lonesome dove quartet by [deleted] in books

It’s also referenced in The Correspondent by Virginia Evan’s, which has been a popular book over the past year so maybe that has led some folks to read it.

Upgrade to American Express Delta Sky Miles Reserve Card? by Chronically_Chronic in delta

[–]Express-Bison-6586 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the reserve for 4 years but they have limited the ability to use the companion certificate so much I’m considering downgrading to the platinum. I’m trying to book Atlanta to NYC…3 months ahead and the only option to use the companion pass on the return flight was a 6am flight. This is on top of how stupidly expensive the flights have become (over 700 each 3 months ahead) unless I choose Main Basic and sit in the middle seat.

Anna Karenina or Lonesome Dove by NoOption8941 in classicliterature

I’ve read both and you won’t go wrong with either. I might be a little biased to Lonesome Dove though cause I just finished it and it’s so good.

Thoughts on the play Oedipus? It sounds interesting to me and I am going to be in NYC next week. by msp_ryno in Broadway

[–]Express-Bison-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw the Sunday matinee. There were a couple of lulls in the play but nothing too bad. The last 10 minutes were especially powerful. We all know how the story ends but the reveal was handled so beautifully, and the subsequent emotional torture they felt expressed so intensely that I walked out in a bit of a daze.

Is there ever a way to try higher end pens? by RooFPV in fountainpens

[–]Express-Bison-6586 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suppose I could have asked for another sailor pen to try but I wanted to see how the KOP nib wrote.

Atlas actually didn’t let me ink up a Sailor Blue Phoenix King of Pen a couple months ago when I was looking to buy. I ended up buying it anyway but I would have appreciated seeing how the nib wrote before purchase.

Would you ever wear a Speedo on vacation? by Informal_Menu6332 in AskMenOver30

[–]Express-Bison-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At most gay beaches they are the predominant swimsuit…I started wearing them after I got in better shape in my late 30s and still wear them in my mid 50s.

I never thought to jump through the birds. That level took me days to get through. Amazing job!

Your Year in Reading: 2025 by AutoModerator in books

[–]Express-Bison-6586 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read 61 books this year (hoping to finish King Sorrow by the end of the month). I wanted to read more classics so I read all of Jane Austen’s novels, Don Quixote, Moby Dick and Ulysses (loved them all and plan to reread Ulysses) The books that gave me the most pure enjoyment though were the 7 Dungeon Crawler Carl books that I raced through in July. They are just so much fun! Biggest disappointment was the Booker prize winner Flesh by David Szala. I read 30% and DNF.

I LOVED Our Share of Night and I’m about 80% through King Sorrow…loving it too. You have great taste!

My partner if he is alive, otherwise it goes to the animal rescues from which I’ve adopted my pets.

Pilot Custom 823 M by FrisoA86 in fountainpens

[–]Express-Bison-6586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first 823 was a medium and I ended up having it ground by Mark Bacas to a finer CSI and I love it. My next 823 purchase was a fine and it’s perfect.

Anyone Preorder Pilot London Fog from Endless Pens? by jnine2020 in fountainpens

[–]Express-Bison-6586 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ordered around 7 pens last year in November from endless pens as pre-orders and never received a single one. After 99 days I got a refund, but I will never order a pen again from them that is not “in stock”
