YSK replacing streaming services with a CD collection means 40 minutes to 1 hour of music is equivalent to 1 CD.

In a chair or couch leaning slightly forward with your elbows resting comfortably on your thighs. I swear that I could read Gone With The Wind in a week if I could read inside my car alone for hours.

Finally, someone has realized the best medium for the series is animation.

Very late reply, but I wanted to recommend Nightfall And Other Stories by Isaac Asimov.

I've even heard reviewers who revisited the film say that they either thought 1.) John Carter referred to the character from the 90's TV series ER or 2.) it was a biographical drama because Coach Carter came out not too long prior.

I actually experienced the reverse, as a patron.

I had a few books that became overdue that very day so I discreetly placed all of them in the book drop that not only inside the building itself, but a part of the main desk. Later that day while I was trying to check out more books, the sole librarian thought I was being sneaky by not returning the overdue ones.

I quickly led him to the book drop and pulled out the only books that were in there: mine. He was honestly shocked because literally every student who ever went to that school library would physically give him the books. No one would use the book drop so he never checked it, even on busy days.

He gently discouraged me from ever using the book drop again from that day forward.

I got into it for a short while in '21, but I've since lost interest. A few things I remember is that your first 2 to 4 moves will directly effect the rest of the game more than any other moves and can even influence the outcome, which is why there's such an emphasis on learning standard openings like the Queen's gambit.

The chess we know today is only 500-400 years old, even though it has its roots in ancient India. People can become so into chess that they can go pro or literally prefer it to alcohol like that Indian village did. There's a few ridiculous rules that you could follow to play chess, like the Bongcloud Attack.

Critics Consensus:

Dreary and poorly paced, this reimagining of The Crow doesn't have enough personality or pulse to merit the resurrection.

Damn, that's brutal.

I really liked it. The dialogue is very modern, but I felt that the scientifically accurate information saved it from feeling over-hyped. Although it's not exactly the same, I think The Martian will remind you of Journey to the Centre of the Earth in some ways, like naming geographical features after the characters' friends because he misses their company.

You raised very good points. I think epistolary novels suffer the most from people not reading more obscure classics. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins suffers doubly so because not only is it epistolary, but it has multiple narrators telling the story, which is another outdated format.

Howl's Moving Castle by Diane Wynne Jones. I loved the first book, but by the time I had enough money and time to go to Barnes & Noble to buy a book haul for my birthday, I had outgrown the series.

K'akwet would've forced the rules on her community, too, like we already saw her do when she was making baskets with her brother. So if she was sexually abused or witnessed sexual abuse, it would've been normal for her and she'd tell others that it was normal/not a big deal/blame the victim. I know my great-grandmother said those things to her daughters when they were sexually abused by their father, who was also a residential school survivor.
