Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
I see Starship Troopers, but no Stranger in a Strange Land. Something’s up…..
I didn't organize them. If I had they would be organized by genre and series.
You want to read A Deepness in the Sky and Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge.Do you regularly revisit books? I used to hold onto my books and then at some point I (think) I got rid of them (at least I haven't been able to track down any boxes full of books and I've tried). I wanted to re-read my favorite book (Jitterbug Perfume) and even re-revisit more of Tom Robbins' stuff since I haven't read most of them since college when I got crazy into his writing (Tim Sandlin too). Can't find my collectionI must've tossed it.
Getting ready for our first tropical vacation in 2 years (the entire family had covid about 3 weeks ago) and we immediately called a travel agent once we were better to take advantage of not needing to test since we just had it (and also feel safe about not getting it again so soon).
Want to find an awesome fiction book to read by the pool and ocean...I was going to do Jitterbug Perfume again, but can't find it so any recommendations?
it's ok if you can't read, I won't make fun of you.
The Alexandria Quartet (four novels, each telling the same story from a different perspective) has been a re-read every few years.
Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune. I have reread God Emperor of Dune in a number of years. I'm about to reread some China Meiville, Perdido Street Station. Loved King Rat and The City and the City.
Lots of great recommendations for books!
Love me some Tom Robbins.
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Skinny Legs and All, and Another Roadside Attraction are all great if you want more Robbins.
For more Sci Fi, especially if something a little lighter with lots of pop culture references is up your ally, The Bobiverse series by Dennis E Taylor is excellent.
Also anything by Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, or Neil Gaiman are all on my highly recommended list!

Just gigged with the Clam, sounded glorious. Sweetspot tonight was with down position, blend favoring low-passed clean, tone dimed or so, hefty mids and fuzz knob below noon. Really nice !
So guys I am really having some crushed dreams….i told myself on Christmas I wasn’t going get the s1 because I didn’t need it, because I have a messenger and sb. Well now I want more space and am kicking myself for not getting one. In the quest for my perfect utilitarian board I didn’t make a utilitarian purchase. Doh!
Yup.
Been there.
Done that.
Cut to two years of chasing that particular white whale.
Buy when In Stock.
If you regret the purchase, it will most likely take less than a minute to sell it to someone else.
Oh yea for sure! I even got the email, took 2 minutes to think about it, decided against it, checked website, still in stock, and hovered……Yup.

If you got a quick silver, will swap you my studio one for a temp checkout the pedal swap. Then we can both kick ourselves for missing out...that's the crushed dreams part.
Yep, the size/space efficiency and smart I/O locations make the S1 near unbeatable. Sounds pretty good too.
Y
yeaaas the quicksilver came out when I was in the hospital prepping for baby number 2 so that one flew over my head
