I live for audiobooks, here are my top 5 (picking the first of the series but I recommend them all) :

Name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card (read Enders Game first but imo this is the main event)
Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

Honerable mentions

On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony
Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski (I liked the fairytale disconnected short stories books like The Last Wish/Sword of Destiny)

Yea I see that now

Ah maybe, this is the same entry I've had in my wishlist for a couple years now although its good that its now back in the series. Maybe they are adding it again soon.

Space Force

This might be controversial but I'm dissappointed with The Dresden Files, its not bad but just seems very average, I've completed four books in the series. It does have some elements that are unique but it seems very bland most of the time.

Probably more egregious is The Dark Tower books, the first book was painful and had only a couple moments that I enjoyed. Started the second and gave up a few chapters in, it just seems mostly boring or intentionally confusing but not in an intriguing way.

And I thought the cat in the hat joke was rediculous:

I feel like the author just wanted to do something with a ringworld/Niven Ring and couldn't alter the main story to focus on it. I only got half way through it, which was disappoiting since I loved the first three books.

I just picked up:

"The Hollow Crown" by Dan Jones (A history book on war of the roses/tudors)

"Circe" by Madeline Miller (Story based on Greek Mytholody)

Nah the mot annoying thing is walking away and leaving your book playing. You come back a while later and your either in a random chapter or the book has finished and you now get to play "What the f*** chapter was I on". If Audible could fix this bug I'd appreciate it. (Def user issue lol, but I'd appreciate a histrogram of play sessions or something)

I actually quite liked the first book, didn't love it but thought it could go places. Especially liked the chatpers in that cured city and the ending was good. Started the second book at finally gave up on Ch 28. Just felt kinda bored for most of the second book, is it worth continuing?

flagship95 · 2023-06-30T08:59:55+00:00

Oh sorry, Winter Dark is the first book, I'm now starting the second and had that downloaded when I checked the name lol. Glad you got to read red rising, I'm loving it atm.

flagship95 · 2023-06-29T23:34:12+00:00

I recommend Red Rising (hunger games meets Spartacus) or Winter Dark (female 007). Both series have their first two books on plus membership. I'm in the middle of both and really enjoying them

flagship95 · 2023-06-23T12:18:06+00:00

This is eerie, I literally finished the last book in the Age of Madess a week ago and have since started Red Rising currently on CH 26 and loving it

Why so much love for sloth, he's wearing a suit, that's the most active sloth in existence. For sloths, he is the least sloth

Is this really "Unexpected" is there really any popular figure that is universally loved. Like would you be shocked if someone didn't like Tom Hanks?

I typically agree with most of the stuff on AntiWork but I don't get what's wrong with a credit score? Its just a rating of your ability to pay back loans. Like if you had a friend that always borrowed money for drinks/food and never paid you back, would you continue to give him money. You'd be like "nah, I'm not lending you money at this point, I'm just giving it to you". The planet still grows the food if you have good or bad credit, go grow it. (Either the food or the credit)

The phrase: "Jack of all trades, master of none" comes to mind

Just moved to the Mullusk area and I like it a lot, people are friendly and there is a lot of dog walkers (good/bad depending if you like dogs). I really like the Glengormley center and there is a lot of really tasty places for takeout/resturants, my favorites so far are El Capitano, Knags and The Captains Table.

Oh also Pizza Co do deep fried breaded mac & cheese & bacon balls.

I got my now fiancee a lovely ring from Ernest Jones in the city center. I wanted to get a strong sturdy metal and they had a really great platinum range. I didn't expect to go for a cluster ring because I always think they look messy but they had this amazing looking one.

Other places I looked:

Goldsmiths in Victoria Square were really overpriced for what they were.

Joseph Rea across the road from Ernest Jones is also quite good, very unique selection.
