I have just deleted at least 25 useless reddit subs , so many cat subs but also including subs like melbs etc. That place is mostly a big time waster.

Stephen King? Yes, it probably would take that long to plough through one of his thicker books.

Absolutely splattered with bug guts in the way back this evening.
I thought about absolutely nothing on the way home. The realisation was almost euphoric.
Just for balance, is there anyone who's not into sci-fi? What's your preferred genre? I enjoy history, true crime or the occasional fiction.
I wouldn’t say it’s something I’m ‘in to’ specifically. I do read/watch sci-fi, but it’s not the dominant or only genre for me. I happily enjoy literature, crime, non-fiction, general fiction, biography. Sci-fi is so broad, it’s not just spaceships and laser beams. Just like any other genre, there’s unreadable junk and then also brilliant works that leave you thinking long after you’ve read them. I like the same things about it that I do in other genres, eg human struggles, mysteries to solve, comedy, redemption, action, discovery, drama etc. I mostly read the softer stuff where the sci-fi is not really the point of the story, just happens to allow a ‘what if’ scenario that our current reality doesn’t.
I go through fads. I will read nearly any genre.
Right now I'm reading a lot of non fiction biographies by explorers, archeology books and art history and art technique books. I'm listening to sci-fi and fantasy and science and history of philosophy books.

I've been android since the beginning but I might cross to the dark side this year.
Welcome.
I too, would like to welcome you. I am a dual user though. I can’t stand Android.
