That’s awesome dude, Pet Sematary was dreadful. For me it was IT that made me cry, I haven’t read The Stand yet

I have more than a few of his books on my reading list but have been spacing them out between other ones. Bought The Stand, The Shining and Eye of the Dragon too

Spoilers!

That’s so cool dude, I’ll check it out when I start the DT books

So you mean the DT universe is so massive that the literal creator of the universe where Earth is is just one of the guardians?

“There is a Tower, he thought. It holds everything together. There are Beams that protect it somehow. There is a Crimson King, and Breakers working to destroy the Beams… not because the Breakers want to but because it wants them to. The Crimson King.” - Hearts in Atlantis, Low Men in Yellow Coats, Chapter 10

I think the beam is referenced a lot in IT but had no idea what it meant since I haven’t been to the Tower yet.

“Before removing the mote in thy neighbor’s eye, attend the beam in thine own” - IT (drawing on it from memory so might be a little different)

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s in the middle, atleast it’s after people have towns and settled down

This reminds me of that story in the book about a martian and a man running into eachother and both being convinced that they are living in present

I like both King and Bradbury!

But I haven’t read anything from those other guys you mentioned, another sci-fi classic I enjoyed was The Time Machine by H.G Wells

I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience, I haven’t* seen any adaptations for F451 since I heard they’re all poorly made

Have you enjoyed any other sci-fi books?

Was this your first book? If you want something more consistent Fahrenheit 451 is a great book too

Oh man that’s beautiful, I listened to the audiobook read by Stephen Hoye but would love to get a paperback at some point so I can visit the stories when I want to look back on them

WWE 2K25 would be awesome, i could introduce my lil bro to the world of wrestling games xD

yeah that one is even more visually amazing, it’s also kind of overwhelming like the whole thing with the different coloured skies and the beach could be turned into one giant painting

A.D. 802,701 is such a unique futuristic world: abandoned tall buildings, green landscapes, huge wells dotting the area and of course the Sphinx. It looks so idyllic yet is the ground for much of the same surviving violence that is just natural true. Like the protagonist says, it may be that there was a divide between the Eloi and Morloks of assests and social positions but now they have forgotten that and both have settled into a new natural order: Eloi the peaceful cattle and Morlocks that hunt them down

Exactly! and ur interpretation makes sense. Honestly with a book that has so much in-depth character work and hell of a good writing, it naturally lends itself to so many introspections. The chill yet absorbing pace of the story works well with this

I’m usually hesitant about picking up classics but this was a pleasant surprise!

Man I have never thought about it because of feeling so at ease with the digital video game stores and just downloading what I want whenever I want without keeping a physical library that would take up space. Same with books.

If the internet died tomorrow, I would have the stuff I’m playing or reading or watching downloaded but I would be out of luck for anything else until it came back. Maybe it’s time to start a backup, get a big HDD or something

Wow I had no idea, that’s fricking cool

Omg this has a name?! It’s one of my favorite things to happen lol

Okay so uh…back when I had a really tough assignment and I didn’t wanna study for it and I had just one day left. I was talking to a girl on Facebook about not doing my assignment and she sent me something that she uses to write her homework, well I looked it up and it worked brilliantly, I was able to submit my assignment in time with zero effort.

Next week everyone was using chatgpt for assignments
