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.

Does anyone on misc actually buy and read a book sometimes?
I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over.

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).
