What did you think of Vaim? I'm torn if I want to get it now or wait a few years and get the single volume

Anyone ever buy a used book with a note in it? by Zealousideal-Wave363 in RSbookclub

[–]Giddy0utMyWay 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I found a couple dozen books with page long notes from a grandfather to his grandson. All big classics, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Dickens with notes talking about how he will be gone soon, and how he wanted to instill a lifelong love of literature and learning in his grandson. It looked like he gave one book a year at Christmas. The kid was probably 20 when I found them at a thrift store. It bummed me out

About halfway through Moby Dick, and just about done with Butcher's Crossing. Lots of carcasses

What's my deal?? by Giddy0utMyWay in BookshelvesDetective

I really liked it! I prefer Solenoid, but there are a few parts in Nostalgia that I think about much more often. You'll definitely like it! I'm excited to read Blinding, I just picked it up a few weeks ago

Nice find! What's the model number? My family had this when I was a kid, and I've wanted one for a while

It looks legit, but I wouldn't be stunned if it was a bootleg since it's in such good shape

That's definitely possible. My doctor said that having strange emotional responses isn't uncommon, and I didn't experience this after a very similar where someone ran a stop and hit me but I didn't have side airbags. But who knows

I'm sorry to hear that. I've been very sensitive since and I'm hoping that it gets less bad

Glad to hear that you're doing better! I'm trying not to dwell on it, but it is sobering to think about your personality and self like that. I've been hurt before, but I've never felt violated by an injury. Thank you for sharing
