Heh, well, there are bots, but I haven't actually used any, and haven't seen anyone using anything like remindme, so not sure.

Heh, well, Sanderson's novels aren't that long, well, not counting Stormlight Archive that is. Specially when you compare them to most books in fantasy genre.

As for Reacher novels, I haven't read many action / adventure / crime novels, but those that I have read haven't been very long, mostly around 300-400 page count, so Reacher's length was a surprise. If it was a fantasy book, wouldn't even have noticed it probably.

Yeah. BTW there are two different audiobooks, one are simple / plain, and other are dramatic something. Which one are you listening to?

Thanks for the info about Goosebumps, will check which ones I have at my local shop.

I just care about cataloging books, with proper info, and LibraryThing is great for that. My only non-complaint is that it's not self-hosted, but I semi-regularly export my books, so it's all good.

I can understand about not getting time to roll your own version. I have been trying to do that for a game cataloging app for over a decade, starts with some new tech every year or so then get busy with stuff and forget about it.

Sounds interesting, but it does sound like a rabbit hole where you can sink tons of hours. Don't want to do that right now 😀

I'll probably be going for the paperback. Can't listen to audiobooks.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will start it soon.

Interesting. Will check it out.

Hehe, fair enough.

I can't multitask at all. If I am listening to audio-book, I need to stop everything and just listen to it, but then it gets boring because I am just listening.

I like numbers though, stats, graphs, charts, lists. Those are fun, so try to log everything I can. Don't care about sharing them, but they are fun for me.

Interesting, will check it out. How are you liking it so far?

[–] dresden 1 points 2 months ago

That's an interesting topic. How are you liking the book?

I have his Shadow of the Apt series, though haven't started it yet. Your comparison with Michael Crichton is making me want to start it soon.
