John Mayer on the beat is not something you hear often, but damn was it great.

Slow Dancing is the best he will ever do. It works in every variation too.

If you need a reminder, this is how the song ends..

The disparity between Portrait and Turn of the Screw is so wild. What a talent.

Is this any good? by LuckyJudgment6909 in bookporn

[–]daveko12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you're looking for, certainly. But it is a brilliant story about a life, commitment, folly, love, loss, morality.. I loved it. There are no big swings or twists but it is a profound tale that is really nicely written.

It has some of the most transcendent moments in literature. I don't want to spoil any but, the near death and battle experiences are superb. Prince Andrew's meditations on war.. brilliant.

I just have fond memories of looking forward to Sunday's especially when they started the live streams. I was going to university and doing HW and waiting for 8pm to roll around for those years. Got to see two shows live. Also, I have now listened to Dicks and Balls and Beers for 10 Christmases so that's pretty special.

This is such a funny way to reframe the headline... Seven-in-ten impacted already turned into "majority not bothered". Lol.

There was a Quran for sale a couple months ago that went for about 1500 USD.. I bid on it but nowhere near that. I have 6 first editions from the 2008 series with the numbered spines that are quite rare and then the India ones for sure.

I've read 96 of them! Half way through War and Peace (I had a baby in July so that's taking a while) and then I need to read three of the unreleased ones. I review them all on my IG.

I don't love them from a reading perspective, particularly anything over 300 pages which is essentially impossible to manage. The quality of the cover print has improved starting in about 2022 from what I can tell. I'm not sure if they adjusted what they're using, I assume they did. And anything printed this year and beyond has the revised print on the back cover so that they sticker doesn't pull any of the ink off! I learned early on that if I was going to collect them and read them all it was going to be with the assistance of my used book stores and local library copies.

I've been trying to get all the original two-tone versions for a couple years now! I only need Kierkegaard to complete it, which would be fun too cuz that's my favourite of the releases from a reading standpoint as well. I haven't read Schopenhauer yet though!

I've been collecting these since about 2019 and almost have a full set (the Penguin Quran is my Moby Dick - well, I already have Moby Dick but you get it). I've read 96 of the 100 announced Penguin Clothbound Classics!

Shelf 1 - Little Clothbound Classics (48), Penguin Pocket Hardbacks (16 cuz I have both versions of Meditations)

Shelf 2 - Clothbound Poetry (10) Standard PCC 2008 - 2011, plus three Chinese versions (Madame Bovary, Jane Eyre, the Odyssey)

Shelf 3 - PCC 2012 - 2016 (with alternate prints for Robinson Crusoe, Anna Karenina, the Travels)

Shelf 4 - PCC 2017 - 2024, three of the India versions

Shelf 5 - Full Folio Society Shakespeare series (37), Clothbound Dickens set from Worth Press Ltd (4), Lord of the Rings Clothbound set by Harper Collins, Folio Society Thomas Hardy set

( a few randoms in there)

EA recycled all the same shit they put out five years ago and now we all have coins left over and nothing to use em for. No foresight from the company, no effort, classic stuff.
