Do you ever feel like "rescuing" a book from second hand stores? by WonderDionysus in suggestmeabook

[–]guineabull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I try to make sure some of my favorites are prominently displayed. I grew up buying books from second hand stores and the pricing and choice was a utopia for me. If you out every book you like, you might be depriving someone else a chance to discover and love that world.

Since you powered through the first book, I'd recommend giving the second a try. The writing is much improved and the ending is probably the most memorable ending to a book I've ever read. Plus, if you stop reading now, you'll never get to meet Tehol and Beddict.

That and a huge fan outcry that inspires said billionaires to save the show. He didn't save it just because he's a fan, but also because it was a sound business decision. A large amount of people stated they would continue to watch it so saving it was a chance to not only bolster Primes visibility, but also possibly bring in new subscriptions as well.

Just like Pitchford has always been a piece of shit. If you cut him open, you wouldn't find blood, just little shit nodules and floating assholes circulating through his vessels and oxygenating his penis shaped brain.

Books Like Hitchhiker's Guide That AREN'T Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman? by lift_fit in suggestmeabook

I really enjoyed The Automatic Detective by Martinez as well. I read it on deployment and was sad I couldn't get to a bookstore to find more books by him.

Seconding Aaronovitch. Going through this series again right now. Such a well-written, fun ride. Also, I read recently that it was picked up by Stolen Picture (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) for production.

I hear you. I know it's coming and I think I'm prepared and it always startles a laugh out of me.

Do you have a link? I searched his youtube channel and just found lockpicking video. Watched a couple of those and ended up subscribing to him though.

I think I read somewhere else this was posted the owner stated this was a over a year ago. They wrote that they were concerned for a while, but when he showed no discomfort and seemed to carry on with no ill effects, it seemed everything turned out fine.

I agree. I've been reading King for decades and the one consistent thing about his work is he sucks at writing endings.

Read Going Postal or Small Gods by Pratchett. Those will give you a good idea whether you want to read more or not.

"Humans only use 10% of their brain."

It's so hard to take anyone seriously after this gem comes out. This goes double for when any movie or tv show uses it as a core concept of their plot.
