Also make sure you have two right hands and an AI-generated book with a page layout that makes no sense.

[-] Grimm@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

I’m glad there are people like you who point out what’s AI generated because this dumb idiot (me) can never tell.

[-] dexa_scantron@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Most of the time we don't look at details because we don't have to. We see a picture and get the jist, and AI is great at simulating the jist. I've started looking for details in anything that looks fishy but it's not a natural behavior.

Is it just me, or does she have two right hands?

[-] dresden_do@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Probably generated by AI, it messes up the hands very often.

Got confused, stockpiled 3138 new books instead of "3-138".

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Uh... what if I have 170 new books?

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 7 points 10 months ago

You'll just have to read two of them to get ready. Or trade two for some old ones.

[-] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 4 points 10 months ago

Depends on if the groundhog sees its shadow or not.

Where do 3 Brandon Sanderson books fall? Is that closer to 10-20 otherwise?

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I’d say they count for at least two - unless it’s Alloy of Law and Shadows of Self. Been reading those recently and they’re quite short!

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

And for those I was wishing they were longer. They’re so good.

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I got back into reading this year during the reddit migration and fully binged through Mistborn 1 + Secret History and finished Stormlight 5 a few weeks before Christmas. I read Alloy of Law in maybe two days and was so thoroughly interested in Wax and Wayne and was a bit sad it was so short. Shadows of Self seems to be a bit longer, but not as long as any of the Stormlight series or even Final Empire.

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Same here. Two years ago and I’ve read just about everything.

I feel ~~attacked.~~ encouraged.

[-] Grimm@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

I equally relate to both of these comments.

[-] Bebo@literature.cafe 3 points 10 months ago

I have 4.8 Gb of books on my phone right now.

[-] tomkatt@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Nice. I’ve got over 70 books in my “to-be-read” queue right now.
