I like books

Wow! They reinvented FMV games but crappy!

I like that during the 80s all you needed to be successful in anime was a cool giant robot design and a weird name like Dougram or Dorvack or Xabungle or Galatt.

I imagine even a conservative estimate would put that figure high up in the 10-figure range. I'm sure some kind-hearted billionaire is just champing at the bit to fork that over with no strings attached.

Knew this was the case as soon as I saw the name of the purchasing company.

No, no, I would rather have the slop machine do creative things for me so I can get back to the important task of making more money for corporations!

"We have to give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize so he won't retaliate against us" is pretty wild.

Conservatives sure love to throw around the Constitution when it comes to the 2nd amendment, but somehow get real quiet when it comes to the 8th.

Went to the bookstore today. No, I don't have a problem.

Lots of old fantasy and scifi paperback books.

The Crash Man theme alone is worthy of effusive praise!

In fiction we like to give villains backstory and nuance as motivation for their actions to make them more "realistic," but most villains in real life are just greedy, self-centered sociopaths who enjoy hurting people different than themselves.

Stephen Miller looks like the kind of person who spends his free time strangling puppies.

Destroying the UN because Trump had to walk up stairs and speak without a teleprompter...

Pretty hilarious that conservatives are basically admitting that Trump can easily be defeated by having to walk up stairs or speak without a teleprompter telling him what to say.

They really tried hard to make him into their own Horst Wessel. Unfortunately for them and their narrative it wasn't a communist who killed him.

To me a dog-eared book tells a story. Someone read this book, stopped at this particular page on their way through it. The more dog ears it has the more it tells me that it was a well-loved book.

I've only read a few of her books so far, but I think my favorite is Foreigner.
