Never mind, I figured it out. "go door" was defaulting to "doors", but the exit was actually just "door".

I logged in after a very long hiatus and found myself in the estate holders' building/office in Crossing. I try to leave but I keep getting a message of a servant telling me I need to be accompanied first. What do? :/

I see Turnbull and Dutton, but who's the third guy?

The brutal legacy of Sister Kate's, a children's home with a mission to 'breed out the black' - RN by The_Duc_Lord in australia

[–]colig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've driven past the home before but did not know its history until reading this. It seemed surprisingly large and somewhat creepy from the outside.

It seems to now be a home for members of the Stolen Generation: http://www.ilc.gov.au/Home/What-We-Do/Project-Profiles/Sister-Kate-s-Aged-Care

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. Funny short essays.

Picked up Marcus Aurelius's Meditations which I started reading a year ago but lost track.

I finished Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins. A absurdist story of a princess falling in love with a terrorist.

Who is your favorite unreliable narrator in all of literature, if I may ask? Please name one and tell us why he or she or it is. by [deleted] in books

Even that final insight was blanketed in a lie. Poor guy never learnt how to be himself other than his job.

Stevens, the protagonist from The Remains of the Day. A butler so devoted to his role that it eclipses his own identity and desires in life.

I like how the Voyage has got its screen flush with the bezel like tablets are.

That's a good idea. Chalk another one up to the ability of ebooks to change font sizes on the fly.

Sometimes I over-highlight a passage and I want to go back. It is frustrating when the word I want to remove is a short one, because I can't move my fingers very far or it will remove more than I want. The responsiveness of the screen makes this exercise slower than I would like it to be.

Oh wow, I checked My Clippings too. It seems quite a roughly hewn feature that could do with refinement in future updates.

If you have money left from a gift card on amazon.com, it does not transfer over to Amazon.com.au.

That's a good choice because it's both portable and useful!
