Is the answer β€˜because he’s a millionaire sycophant’?

What do you think the odds are of Trump doing anything to address? I’m thinking, very little if it doesn’t directly benefit him or Elon Musk, sadly.

Readers, help me please. Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro: I’m half way through but not feeling it. Does it get better? Thanks

Fair point! I’ll put something up. Fairly new here (as is everyone, I suppose!)

Not even similar. Don’t know what the problem is here…

You’ve actually succeeded in making Harry look better than in real life!

Just not my thing perhaps. Now onto Frank and Red, which is infinitely more enjoyable (to me).

Sorry, it was a joke based on an earlier post. I only do audio now, due to poor eyes, so agree πŸ‘

Two-thirds of the way through Orbital, but I don’t think I have the will to finish it.

Audio is not really reading though, is it? πŸ˜‰

Not trying to stick up for them, but if this is a standard exam, anyone taking the exam early β€˜could’ leak the questions to anyone taking it at a later date. That’s the reason, surely?

Ha, Catch-22: I’ve read it halfway through 3 times now, so I’ve technically wasted more time on it than if I had stuck with it the first time!

β€˜Voluntary’ or at β€˜the states request’? Can’t be both, surely

It really isn’t the general consensus, Haseena. Please try to ignore such tripe.

I find the snobbery odd. After 3 eye ops, audio books are far and away the easiest way for me to consume books now. I probably wouldn’t read any more if it were not for the audio option. Though the choice of narrator massively impacts the enjoyment level!

This β€˜might’ be unpopular, but I never keep any book once I’ve read it. Is that weird?

Eighteen punches landed in 16 minutes of β€˜boxing’. He was paid to do not a lot at all!
