Does anyone on misc actually buy and read a book sometimes?

I know some of you brahs do. The stuff you say is right out of things written. If you do read, post a good page from a good book. I’ve posted some of mine. This one a lot of people read already but worth posting.

I borrow from library, technical and math books. I can borrow and extend and re-borrow same book indefinitely. No one reads these days.

For pleasure I read rare books, mostly WWII memoires from one particular site.

And for all the miscers who talk about where the world is headed, how many of you can name this book by the page? I’m sure there’s quite a few who can. Despite the chit talking about not reading. (This one isn’t mine).

For anyone wondering, this guy is known for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, aka Narnia, but I’ve heard many of his other works even better than that stuff.

Not to be a prick, but that was so predictable even from someone who hasn't read 1984. You know why? The misc is beyond obsessed with that book lol

I figured some misc big brains would chime in. Here’s a more challenging one.



Why do you think the author named the book this page is from after that play?

No need bro, I already have it ordered. Cheers.


At least I hope I ordered the right thing.




Trying to move away from games and whatnot and back to this. Hopefully what I ordered has what you posted.

Looks like this one encompasses intelligence security, the internet, politics, ethics, and more, while being ahead of it’s time. Sounds interesting, will add to list. On r/c

Epicurean when things are good, stoic when things are bad crew. Pretty much how most people traverse life.
