Remains of the Day is maybe my favorite book of all time. Never Let Me Go was fine but paled in comparison. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. I'm glad you're liking it. I think RotD set up some unrealistic expectations.

All in English because I'm an Anglo moron who only speaks one language.

Ficciones
Literally anything by Hermann Hesse (maybe my favorite author)
Yeah I realize now that my comment was a tad more aggressive than it was meant to be. I think there's some value in Day's stuff. He gives some interesting perspective and analysis on Tolkien. You just need to remember to take nothing of his as fact.
Nothing David Day writes should be given any credibility. He made stuff up, like, all the time. Treat it as fan fiction.
What's hilarious is conservatives absolutely hate Strongtowns too, and pretty much all their policy goals are the opposite of the goal of ST. Even though Chuck Morohn is deeply conservative, he can't really face that truth.
As an ISU fan I'm happy we have a chance for another win next week. Dunno why but 2-10 is much easier to stomach than 1-11

Do US next pls
Honestly, with the way Mexicos leadership/politics and economy is heading, it's positioned to be a decent power, and potentially be a more desirable location to live than the US sometime in the next century. Big fan of AMLO and hope he is setting them on a good trend. It's probably only a matter of time before the US intervenes and makes sure they don't go too far left though, so maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up.
How are you hearing it? Nice speakers or a nice set of headphones? I'm guessing that's the difference.
