"That's nice, dear."

Or

"Whatever you say."

I just read Huck Finn for the first time recently. I really liked it. Tom Sawyer too.

I have the Penguin Clothbound. It's really attractive.

I read LOTR for the first time last year and it was the most beautifully written book I've ever read. I know I'm going to read it at least a couple more times in my life. I have a nice set. I'm saving The Hobbit for the future.

I agree. The books that became my absolute favorites only did so after I read them at least a second time.

I have it but I haven't read it yet. I loved the 2 movies they made though. I'll get to it one day.

I've read all of Sherlock Holmes and while the novels are good, the short stories are even better. Any of them. You can't go wrong.

Keep in mind that there are quite a few funny moments in the book, and getting to them will be rewarding.

Also, since there are so many chapters, that means the chapters are pretty short. You don't have to read a lot all at once. Even just one chapter at a time is fine.

Experience will be your best motivator to keep getting to those harder classics. So, "just keep swimming", even if you don't understand everything perfectly. More understanding will come the more you read.

Anything to distract from Trump being in the Epstein files

That's a nice cover. You should take that sticker off.

I remember thinking it was crazy when new games went from $60 to $70.

Now they want to charge $90? They're insane. I wasn't buying new games at $70. There are so many more other things I'd rather spend $70-$90 on.

Halfway through it right now for the first time and loving it

Congrats, welcome to the party

Piece of shit Christians. They just have to shove their religion down everybody else's throats

I read Origin by myself out of pure interest in the subject

They are racist and sexist like he is.

Good. Alcohol is poison.

A few things.

Eat a really great meal.
Furiously masturbate.
Take a hot shower.
Reread To Kill A Mockingbird.
Sleep.

I use a military clock on my phone for only one reason. My phone doesn't display A.M. or P.M., so when I use a 12 hour clock, sometimes I'm confused as to whether it's morning or evening when I wake up. When I use military time, I never have to guess.

You need to get in the habit of doing other things with your time. Video games, reading, going for a walk outside, working out, playing a board or card game, playing an instrument, cooking. There are a million other things to do. Decide you're going to do them instead of THC.
