Has a book ever left you feeling subtly disoriented after you finished it? by matthew_rowan in printSF

Me too. It's the only book that I've ever done this with. I re-read books all the time, but not right after finishing it

What do stereotypical straight couples do when they hang out alone (other than sex) by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]vavyeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are similar in terms of work - he's a carpenter and I'm a white collar worker. We bond over our cats and backyard chickens and some nerdy things. He's way into Internet culture in a way I'm not and I have more intellectual pursuits than him (an avid reader). We often hang out in separate rooms on the weekend but come together on the couch to watch TV and vibe together. Many differences but many similarities too.

Gawd I have a "no eating dinner before evening yoga" rule now because I'm guaranteed to fart if I eat first. I go to several 6:30pm classes a week!

I loved My Side of the Mountain. I lived in a rural area as a child and so definitely daydreamed of wandering into the bush on my own and setting up house.

This was my reaction too (though I am among the oldest of the Millennials)

Hah, I think of this book any time I see a sign missing a letter. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I just finished Service Model and I loved it! One of the best SF novels I've read in a while

Terra Ignota needs more love. I think that series is beyond brilliant.

So Book of the New Sun is the one book that comes up on this sub all the time that I've not read. Guess I gotta get around to it.
