Found it at the library, decided that now's the time to read it!

Not a bad read at all! Not just a "kids these days" whinefest (though it can veer into that territory), actually has some smart things to say about the ways the Internet makes our lives better, and the new problems it creates for us. Do check this one out if you're curious. I didn't end up finishing it though -- not because I feel I've seen everything it has to say, but simply because I feel my reading time is better spent elsewhere.

This book is so good oh my god. When a book's PREFACE is already blowing your mind, you know you're in for a good one.

This one too!

Just bought this one! Exciting

Nah, got through the third chapter and really got the vibe that nothing in here was really going to rock my world. Kinda standard white anglo-saxon protestant inspirational stuff. Some good wisdom in the first two chapters but then very quickly drops off in substance. Definitely have some interest in these principles, but I don't think this book will really provide me with much meat to chew on. Moving on

Wanna read this, Innsmouth but make it a social commentary which directly contradicts Lovecraft's own racism

I'm gonna go through it someday bc it's fucking cool but yeh

I will read it someday but today is not this day

Had good points but reading motivation go blaaaaaaaech and I ran out of library renewals

The result of the poll on my main. Mort (Discworld) is next on the list.

This book has its flaws, but it came into my life at an extremely critical time, when I was questioning my Christian faith. Its philosophical ideas of a universe which is mysterious, confusing, and no less beautiful or worthwhile for that mystery, really helped me come to terms with my developing agnosticism. Without it, I might not have been able to let go of the beliefs that were holding me back. Is that reason enough to rate it as one of my favorite books? Yes.

I just picked this one up! I've never actually read LoTR, I loved the movies but couldn't get through the book. I'd love to actually read it through someday tho, especially this gorgeous edition.

I've read part of it but it's been long enough that I should probably start it all over.
