Not really. I sort of still buy a few books by inertia, though. Tom Send a noteboard - 07/10/2015 08:23:59 PM

I agreed that I would read Brandon Sanderson's Twilight Archive Saga whatever it's called when it's done, so I've bought the books but not read them. I also buy his new books in his other worlds but haven't really had the urge to read them yet. I also bought Martin's Dunk & Egg anthology that just arrived unexpectedly in the mail yesterday (I forgot I preordered it months ago). I probably will end up buying the other books if they ever come out because I'm a completist. Other than that, no. I'm done with a genre that is too derivative. I find myself reading non-fiction and classic fiction. Nothing contemporary. If I don't KNOW it's good I don't really want to take the chance. Too many other things that would be fun to read.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
