I have a (kind of crappy) way to record mixtapes and a bunch of blank tapes and I massively feel the "waste of time" thing. Like this is just so much extra work to listen to the same music I already listen to in much worse quality, but it's sooooo cool...

@nohappynonsense> and caps lock too, you honour me too much

@brennholz> I guess if it's just about it being cool, it's probably not worth it since you could instead play with other stuff like...vintage synths or 8tracks (whatever they are), etc. Some of it is bound to be cool and useful at the same time.

I like Cormac but I always thought The Road was one of his weaker books. For me, I thought he wrote himself into a corner, and the ending therefore felt contrived. Hope you're enjoying Dombey and Son. I think it's Dickens's most mature work up to that point in his career

@irony-machine: thankee! It's just a sucky little cold so can't complain too much but it is annoying.

@nohappynonsense: most of my book club people loved The Road but it's because I was ill and couldn't attend the meeting to talk them out of it. To each his own and all that! I get surprisingly wounded when people diss my favourites.

@readingproject: I am enjoying Dombey and Son, I find Dickens so relaxing and the language so enjoyable. However, I wish his good characters where a touch less angelic, but I saw the same thing in Shelley's Frankenstein so it might just be a XIXc. thing? However, it's still full of amazing types like Cuttle, Toots, etc. and the Edith-Mother-Dombey-Carker dymanic is very interesting.

I did try to complete your reading challenge this year but, being a slow and inconsistent reader, I failed. Also joined a book club and that kinda put a spanner in the works. Got 6/12 and still reading Gravity's Rainbow.

@pikemalarkey: wow! First that someone took notice of it. Good for you. Second, reading slow is a pleasure so that’s great. And Gravity’s Rainbow is a monster of a book. I know I’m going to have to read it again. And maybe even again!

@moheb-rofail: thank you, and well done! @readingproject: it was actually really fun, despite not succeeding. I take it you liked Gravity's Rainbow! I haven't read your review yet in case of spoilers but I'll compare our notes once I'm done : )

Aw, I didn't even see the reading challenge page. I seemed to have inadvertently reached several of the goals though. Haha! Hope y'all have a Happy New Year. Cheers! To more reading!

terribly, the place I had earmarked as cheap and suitable fell through as the landlord decided to run his own thing there in the end -_- I'm taking to mid-Nov to see how some chips fall and then will decide how to proceed
