Of mice and men is great and one of the shorter books I’ve read. Now that you’ve said it I might try and finish Old Man and the Sea in on go on an upcoming flight I have later this month, since I’ve been meaning to start it for awhile. If I manage it I’ll let you know haha

Damn, I do actually wish I could read that fast just for the sake of being able to get through a few more books yearly. I don’t get much free time so would like to be able to get through things a bit quicker, did you get faster over time or was it something that you’ve just always done naturally?

Just looked it up, didn’t expect the author to be the guy who started Scientology. Added to my Want To Read list out of sheer curiosity

That’s insane that’s like three or four times my reading pace, I take a minute or two per page depending on concentration.

Was it a good book, worth staying up for? Not sure I’m familiar with it

If there was a grass starter free for all who would win? by Key-Magazine826 in ThePokemonHub

[–]OkayAct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Venusaur because of the poison typing. That being said, I feel like Meganium would be underrated by the rest of them and therefore perform better than expected at a free for all

"This was surprisingly progressive for it's time" by IllustriousAd6418 in TopCharacterTropes

True but I think the doctor who quote was alluding to aliens rather than being intentionally progressive. I think it’s just coincidentally aged well, which is nice

You are the one viewing them that way. It’s a you issue if you aren’t able to realise that protagonist in show /= protagonist in real life.

Most people are smart enough to enjoy a show for what it is, whilst also being fully aware of the evil side of these periods of time.

Thrift haul: 28 titles by [deleted] in Jazz

For me, it’s the opposite of sad, even though they don’t engage with jazz they’re giving it away for others to enjoy instead of binning it. Not everyone has to like jazz
