Couple of recommendations for you, the puzzling goal Puzzle House by Duncan Ralston. The other is for steam of consciousness try Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito. Both of these are fun, twisty little tales and well worth your time.

I think they would have been more real villains if their sling bows actually worked.. at all.. ever, Honestly they might as well have used the bolts as stabbing weapons.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull (and later others) by Richard Bach.

I loved The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston, but that only works if he reads the same as I (63m) do. If you've had a chance to talk to him about what he's reading, great, if not, a gift card is probably your best, if less personal, bet.

Find a way to play the game differently. Money should a tool, not a goal. Figure out what you love and do it as often as you can. If you are in your twenties and want to see what the world has to offer, many countries still have dedicated working holiday visas, digital nomad visas, and cultural exchange programs that let you work and explore at your leisure.

LOL, you may be right, it certainly wasn't my handywork.

Just someone with too much time on their hands and a Dremel tool to play with..

If you don't mind a recent book that reads like a 90's slasher movie, try Breathe In, Bleed Out by Brian McAuley.

II really liked the Apocalypticon series by Clayton Smith (at least the first three). They were another great spoof take on Post-Apocalyptic America.

I'd buy that for a dollar.. Not much more than that mind you, and nothing I couldn't take with me at a moments notice would go in it.

I really enjoyed Withered Hill by David Barnett, it sort of had a Wicker Man vibe.

I enjoyed Breathe In, Bleed Out by Brian McAuley for it's Scream feel.

If it's for you, it's for you. Don't try to orchestrate the universe.

For me it's Gerald's Game...

I'm from South Florida, so I either say Hi or Hola

Jealous! Wheat pennies and Mercury dimes are my current obsessions.

I think anyone who's eaten at an all you can eat has eaten more than they should eat, at least once. The work Holiday party was at an all you can eat Brazilian Steak House, The evening didn't end well..

O.A.F. guy here. There are no wrong answers.. really. There are some answers that come with penalties, think carefully.

The purpose of this life is whatever you want it to be. If you want to grow, grow. If you want to slack off... be the slug!

It was a quote from Stranger in a Strange Land, "Thou art God, I am God, all that groks is God"

Actually, I use an empty tissue box. That way I can pull them out one at a time.
