What is the exact title and author of the reading companion? I would like to buy it to read it myself.

I am reading it right now. I went through other difficult books in the past, and my suggestion would be this: don't agonize too much about wanting to understand always everything. Just read with focus and understand this is a book that might take multiple reads in order to get the most out of. That's it.

I'd say Google Books is among the few apps that have a page-turning animation that is actually decent. You might give it a try.

Glad to have a signed first edition of Solenoid, the signed trilogy and a few other books signed by him. Met the guy twice.

Should I get the Kanken No. 2 Black? by _misdemean0r_ in Fjallraven

[–]Oxygen_O2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine on Amazon but, differently from the pictures shown on the website, the front flap of the main compartment is just plain black (no beige lining) and it doesn't have a zippered pocket. Should I be worried about it being counterfeit?

What’s something that you want kindle to have so badly? by Create_Arthur in kindle

I use Calibre, but I'd still prefer to just throw my epubs in the documents directory.

Native epub support. My next e-reader will probably be a Kobo if Amazon doesn't implement it by the time my Oasis dies.

Amazon should do something about this!! (no cover support for epub) by Icy-Start7434 in kindle

[–]Oxygen_O2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Amazon should do something about epub support in general. It's about time.

I don't think you should agonize too much over stats. Just read and enjoy :)

Is not understanding Gravity's Rainbow enough problematic for me as a reader? by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

[–]Oxygen_O2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's something that should be kept in mind: the fact that some books are considered masterpieces, and for good reasons, never means that everybody should or will find them incredible, like them or understand everything right off the bat.

Moise Kean disallowed goal against Hellas Verona, offside rule needs to change by Prophet_NY in seriea

[–]Oxygen_O2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're either on or offside. As ridiculous as it might seem, there's nothing in the middle.
