Post a quote, that could have just been text but instead for some stupid reason is an image, entertain me!

Also causes death.

Licorice in general is gross. Blech.

It's poisonous and can kill you, but you have to eat a lot of it.

I always hated the stuff, maybe now I know why. Black licorice is evil, now with established proof.

I like black licorice...

+1 on good black licorice. That said, I couldn't eat enough to poison myself.

Licorice is yummy and I maybe could eat enough to poison myself. Unfortunately, I can't eat candy any more.

This started off like a Miami 2017 reference, then made a wrong turn.

But do you recall ANY salient details from those books?

Can I remember anything about the three-gendered polyamorous space centaurs? Aside from the fact that they had human junk up front, and both sets of horse junk in the back?

Well I remember there being complicated look-up tables in the appendix about what combinations of couplings you needed to make baby ones of them.

So I'm going to go with "yes".

For me the answer is yes.

Around that time I read IT, The Stand, Shogun, and Nobel House (very different genres but all well over 700 pages) and I can remember 90% of the details of those books.

When I was a teenager I could get by on 4 hours sleep because I spent all night reading some dumb Dragonlance book.

Not so much when I'm 46. I still read though, and many of those are books bigger than 750 pages.

I used to go through about two books a week in school but work schedules have left before bed as my primary available reading opportunity and now I’ve accidentally trained myself to get sleepy while reading. It takes me a couple weeks to get through a book now because I can’t read for more than half an hour at a time before putting myself to sleep.

Did you remember they were named after musical modes? I just read that series a few years ago and really liked it.

Just to clarify, my name comes from the musical mode, not Triple Crown Horseman.

Devoured books in middle school. Now i just try and squeeze in an audiobook while multitasking something else.

Wait a sec... Jonman wasn't joking?

Same. Sometimes reading this forum puts me to sleep at night.

No, he was not. That particular madness was invented by John Varley, not Jonman.

(Titan, Wizard, and Demon are the titles if you want to see for yourself.)

Well, high school was a long, long time ago. But, yeah, some?

I was talking to my wife about how we don't read books anymore (aside from audiobooks in the car). It feels like we've developed ADD late in life in that we seem to have the time/patience for reading our online feeds, not a full fledged book. I commented that perhaps it is more the world we live in rather than biology that has molded us into that. We both used to be voracious readers. Now I can barely summon the patience to get through a comic book.

And content warning - there's super rapey parts in there. I haven't read them since I was a teenager, but I remember those too.

I still enjoy reading, but with as readily available as other forms of entrainment are now, I only make the time for books that I’m particularly interested in.

I cut out social media (which I was reading a lot of in my spare time) and got back to reading books again. it worked for me.
