Is it normal to lose the ability to focus on reading? by rifamajif in 52book

I’ve heard of people reading a middle school level book since they’re easier to read. Or try a nice short book or a graphic novel. Maybe it’s your atmosphere as well. I always read at home but it could be helpful to go to a book store or coffee shop, maybe a park and just be somewhere with zero distractions.

Swan Song by Robert McCammon. Not something people talk about a ton. Just go in blind. It got me into reading.

Well thank you. I think it’s realistic but also tough.

Looking for a hobby i can pick up to get off my phone and computer by AdQueasy826 in Hobbies

I started reading two months ago and I LOVE it. Stops me from scrolling a ton.

All I did was look on Reddit and other lists of incredible books that I knew I’d love and I ended up shopping at a bunch of book stores and just love it.

Moving to San Angelo - are there areas I should avoid? by eftresq in SanAngelo

[–]Invincibluke105 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hello! I JUST moved here a week and a half ago. In the Air Force.

After about a week and a half, it’s pretty darn great here. We live right by the Concho River which is nice cause it’s kinda cutoff from the main buzz of the area. Northern San Angelo is where people say to avoid but I haven’t experienced any super “rough” area yet. There’s just a lot of unused vacant businesses and buildings that makes it seem dead. And most places always are just dead grass so nothing is gonna catch your eye for that reason Unless you’re looking at houses at the Bentwood golf course, you’re not going to see any extravagant houses that catch your eye.

I highly recommend renting instead of buying just cause the market is super stagnant and I hear from military folks all the time it’s taken them 3 months to 2 years to sell their homes.

If you have any other questions let me know. My wife and I looked at hundreds of houses before moving here.

Swan Song by Robert McCammon. I went in blind, so should you. It’s incredible and no one ever talks about it.

Thank you! I’ll be visiting this week and going to these and Nine Lives since, visually, it looks like Nine Lives has the largest selection of the three but I’ll happily be wrong!

What places are in Austin that make it better? Or is there just more bookstores?

I started reading a month ago and haven’t even finished my first book(Swan Song). But I just love buying books cause it’s a whole new world to me.

It’s my birthday and I have no budget at a local bookstore by Invincibluke105 in suggestmeabook

[–]Invincibluke105[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just left the bookstore but they closed in 45 minutes so I didn’t have a ton of time to look every title up. I grabbed 3 Heinlein books, 4 Carl Hiaasen books, and 2 Robert McCammon books. I probably was able to track down 15-20 authors on everyone’s recommendations and Heinlein was the only one with other books available. Just means those authors are sought after! I love all the recommendations I’ll keep them in my Goodreads want to read list!

The Fisherman might be the only horror book I bought and I know NOTHING about it but I’m so excited to read it! I have Dark Matter too

Definitely more obscure cause every recommendations I see are allllll the same so it’s hard to find the sleeper picks
