Learning about James Baldwin in the book James Baldwin: Living on Fire and helplessly accepting that nothing ever changes, I guess.

I've been reading mostly on the Shonen Jump app because it's super cheap and legal ($2/month for an archive of most of their big titles) There's some manga I really want to read that don't have a legal option outside of paying like $10+ for each individual volume, which isn't so bad if you're buying along with the release of one or two series. But when you want to catch up with a big old series or something you're looking at an easy $200+ to get everything. (I'd have to take out a small loan for Case Closed/Detective Conan) InkyPen and Comixology seem okay but still missing a lot. I know there's 'free' sites. But I wish I could at least contribute a few nickels to the artists and translation staff. Zurtilik fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Sep 9, 2020 |

cda posted:Vivid memories of reading these in middle school, just in case... I spent a good portion of mid to late elementary school just fawning over the second edition monster manual. Then I got a full set of 3.5 a few years later. Skipped 4. Now I have all the main books for 5. DnD rules! Especially Monster Manuals, which I have kept and collected even when I've given away/sold my other books. |

I've been reading 'How Music Works' by David Byrne. It's been fun, I'm trying to learn more about uhhh... history of music, music tech and the industry and such. Not a bad intro read with a few tangents about the Talking Heads and some of Byrne's, sometimes I feel like the examples helped to drive the chapter's premise a lot and other times it just seemed like him regaling about his past. Overall the book seems like a nice light weight introduction into the sort of thing I wanted out of it, if you're someone who has worked on music or follow a lot of in-depth music background stuff it probably is rehashing a lot of what you know though.

I feel like 95% of the time I laugh at a book it's like the dryest humor imaginable. Like a guy talking about how he hopes he doesn't get wet and then it's raining outside or something dumb.
