Just finished guzzling Ready Player One. Gaming, eighties/nineties nostalgia, cyberpunk - what's not to like?  :2thumbsup:

Haven't seen the film. I don't think I want to tbh
I agree with Odeon. I loved the booked and I was surprised that I loved the movie as well. The oldest and I saw it in theatre and it was worth it.

Had to switch to audible for awhile because of side effects preventing me from doing much reading ( :roar: ) so I begrudgingly started one last night. Pleasantly surprised that it wasn't overstimulating. The Path Made Clear by Oprah. Clips of various interviews she's done based on various topics. I find her voice soothing so it was a good intro to an audible book. I miss reading though.

I hope you get rid of the side effects soon.

Still Ian Rankin for me. My attention span isn't what it should be.

I say side effects because I haven't gotten the actual diagnosis yet but if it turns out being what the Neuro suspects it is, it's permanent.  :thumbdn:

Finished The Path Made Clear, last night and it was really good. Next up on Audible is Process: The Writing Lives by Great Authors by Sarah Stodola

"Ernest Hemingway, Zadie Smith, Joan Didion, Franz Kafka, David Foster Wallace, and more. In Process, acclaimed journalist Sarah Stodola examines the creative methods of literature’s most transformative figures. Each chapter contains a mini biography of one of the world’s most lauded authors, focused solely on his or her writing process. Unlike how-to books that preach writing techniques or rules, Process puts the true methods of writers on display in their most captivating incarnation: within the context of the lives from which they sprang. Drawn from both existing material and original research and interviews, Stodola brings to light the fascinating, unique, and illuminating techniques behind these literary behemoths."

The Three corners war, a history of the civil war in the desert Southwest US.    Confederates vs. the Union, Native peoples vs. both sides.  A fucking cluster fuck mess.

I was actually able to read an entire book! I was so excited that I read it all in 24 hours. Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes. It was good.
