    If you paid for the paper version you have every moral right to find it on the seven seas.

      I do believe they were all purchased in this wonderful ancient book store we had in my city growing up which was in an old house, and the floors were positively slanted from the weight of books on them, and you navigated your way tentatively around towering piles of poetry collections. It was wonderful.

      At one point I realised it takes me less time to pirate a game than to find the right DVD in my room.

    You got rid of your books because Marie Kondo told you to.

    I got rid of my books because there’s no space for them in my tiny apartment.

    We are not the same.

    The real conspiracy is how she knew about the apocalypse that far ahead. You’re primed for bunker time, citizen! And, by that, I mean: the rest of your one-room w/ a bucket life. 🤘🏼🥳🔥🔥🔥🔥

    You’d think people who claim to like reading would have better comprehension. It’s not like Marie Kondo was saying to get rid of all books. But you may not need to hold them forever.

        If I collate them chronologically, is that organized enough, or do they need labels & glass cases to qualify? I’ll clean up afterwards. Promise. Shake on it? 😜

    The Four Past Midnight is a good book

    I might have only read The Langoliers, because horror scares me, but I’m sure the rest are good!

      I think Hearts in Atlantis and Duma Key are particularly good. I really like the middle period of King’s books a lot. I like all the traditional horror ones too, but the ones that have a bit more in terms of relationships are somehow really good. The stories of Full Dark, No Stars is absolutely shockingly good in the darkest way imaginable, and The Man In The Black Suit actually won the O. Henry award.
