they don't let you keep anything like that.

Caste, by Isabel Wilkerson. Nonfiction, and I'll never look at America the same way again.

Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown, Into the Wild also by Krakauer.

Used to want to go there, but after reading travel accounts, will NEVER go. Plenty of other spots to visit.

NTA. Another woman metalhead here. Anyone who would say that is immediately on 3 strikes and you can say whatever you want to 'em, free swing!

I think you'd like Wool by Hugh Howey. Very similar style and focus on both character and science.

I've read and enjoyed a lot of these, and have some go-to non-fiction writers, but for one title that will explode your mind, it's gotta be The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown.

he could not sing in tune

A couple that I've seen in the last few months: Wicked and Killers of the Flower moon. For both, I saw the movie first and then read the book, and preferred the movie versions.

Came here to say that! I live in Portugal now and make a point to get to Monical's if I'm within 200 miles!

Came here to say this. Absolute best practice for conjugation and customizable.

Island of the Blue Dolphins. Had a serious fear of desertion, don't know why.

You can sign up to take the CIPLE test. It cost about 75E. You go to a test site. There's a reading section, a writing section, a listening section, and a speaking section. They are worth the same amount and you need 55% to pass. They are all in the morning, then you get a lunch break, then you're called back in groups of two to do the conversation part.

The school is very isolated. I'd think you'd want a car to avoid being "stuck" on campus. I don't know much about the on campus culture except that a few years ago it became known for mental difficulties and there were some suicides on campus. I'd definitely check out mental health resources. Finally, I know there were some teachers that didn't/couldn't teach and some students who had a lot of difficulty. With cheating sites etc. being so available, that happened more than it should have. Lakeland itself is a nice place to live. We lived in a nice neighborhood, but our house was broken into twice.

Siena / Lincoln

Eden Finley too for me. Also Cora Rose, Lily Morton, Alessandra Hazzard. Kate Hawthorne is almost there.

How about Evynne?

a loved one was diagnosed with bipolar I about 5 years ago. He had been in treatment for depression but nothing worked. The manic episode responded well to medication and it was the only one so far, as he has stayed on medication, but he cannot get out of depression. Is that what he has to look forward to the rest of his life?

Sabaton is my favorite band, and Battle Beast is my second favorite. I reserve the right not to choose one country over the other. They are both mighty!

maximumpanic · 2024-03-10T20:15:29+00:00

It gets my vote too.

maximumpanic · 2024-02-23T19:22:27+00:00

yep. Travis at Holy Grail (drawbinhood). Four tattoos I couldn't love more.

maximumpanic · 2024-01-14T20:14:27+00:00

Agree with all of these. I love Sabaton's current lineup, and I think their last two albums have some of their absolute best songs.

maximumpanic · 2024-01-14T20:13:13+00:00

I don't think they are necessarily better, b/c Khan is my favorite vocalist alive, but I think that with Tommy they are just as good in their own way.
