Well on the bright side, it'll be harder for her to see him now that he's fled the country

This person is wildly misapplying these terms to discuss PTSD, but you're also out of pocket. I'm carding you both.

Reply to My dad dedicated his book to me. Should I read it even though it's not my cup of tea? by Rinoalbering
I mean, it doesn't sound like a book entomologists even sit down and read, and they're the target audience. Keep a copy, maybe you can look up information about an insect that someone mentions in casual conversation sometime and then tell your dad that you shared wing length with a very confused person

I have 150 rated books, and my suggestions sucked based on that. I added a "want to read" shelf of a bit under 100 books and it tightened up the suggestions a lot. It shows me a lot of good stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise

Yep, I had screencapped part of mine because it's so different from what OP is describing.

This section of Goodreads? I'm not sure if we're having the same experience, if so.

Yep, calibre will also convert between file types for books that are 🏴☠️d or freely distributed. Very useful program

I never understand what anyone is talking about with this. Were you sounding out words before and now you just recognize the words from looking at them? Because the comments make it sound like you disappear into a wordless void. I don't think I could do that. Sounds like a great way to be caught lackin.

Reply to "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath by salon_i
I've always questioned if major depressive disorder was really the correct diagnosis, because it doesn't quite seem like it. She died while we were still on the DSM-1 and I'm not even certain it was called MDD in there.
