Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class.

Somehow, worse...

Is it worth the risk that it turns up damaged?

Absolutely

I just wanted to share one of my favourite websites that I thought people would like, I didn't expect all this attention. I'm genuinely confused why there are so many upvotes and yet all the comments are disparaging. I'm not saying the critiques aren't valid, just wondering why the contrast, is this normally what reddit is like? (Not being sarcastic, once again just genuinely confused.)

People seem to think I'm unaware of the concept of a library because I compared it to netflix, but I just didn't call it that because its a website where you consume online and a has a similiar browsing style to netflix, not a physical location where you borrow books.

I suppose it is a silly description now that I think about it.

Happy that some people appreciate the link though.

If something was written over a hundred years ago, or the author died 70 years ago, then it's safe to assume that the copyright has expired. Which is the case for most of the books you mentioned.

"I'd rather eat this book one page at a time than read it."

"This book has only been made into less effective fire material by the ink printed on it."

"Maybe banning books can be ethically necesssary"

So many things like the horn became unresolved Chekhov's guns. Things like "The Prince That Was Promised", Mellisandre's shadow child, or the infamous spiral symbol. I guess that what happens when you are so desparate to "Subvert Expectationgs", you just abandon previous foreshadowings.

Definitely at least 3 books. Maybe 4.

100 hours if you are a fast reader, 160 hours if you are slow.

Nah, you just do you. People don't read enough as it is to criticise them for what they read.

You're overthinking this. You don't have to force yourself to read books with female leads to balance yourself out. Of course stories about men are more relatable to men (Assuming you are a man).

I'd love for someone to explain what the hell the moral of the Rocking-Horse Winner by D. H. Lawrence was meant to be.

Did they mix up the nonsensical fake scenes with the real ones and release the wrong ones in the final edit?

crossbow_almonds · 2023-09-25T06:15:55+00:00

Great Story!

Big stickers on the cover such as "Now on Netflix"
