@Ray_Otus Those are all great arguments for E-books. For me, personally, they don't outweigh the stuff I lose. I do have to admit that I bought a few books that are so large I might never read them! The Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, for example. It didn…

OK. I'm upgrading this thread to zero LOL

Better :-)

Also, I noticed that comments are appearing most recent first. This is counter intuitive, I think. On the surface, you'd probably think it makes sense to keep the new stuff fresh on top, but that only works if you only read the latest post. In prac…

I haven't tried it, but off the bat am not that keen. I like posts to appear chronologically, which makes it easier to find old posts. EDIT: OK, so the posts don't move. That's OK. Interestingly, I coudn't upvote my own comment. If you can't love y…

(Quote) That's because they so seldom have flavour. Now, if the spells were called "May the Eye Go Back to the Owner", "To Tie a Fly" or "You Are a Monstrous Evil" you'd read them. @dr_mitch Reading 40 rpgs in a year i…

Every time I click the tab to open this community I think 'Wow, this place looks great!' Nice work, guys!

I’d love to do some of these as club picks. The Female Man and Lilith’s Brood particularly. I’ve read The Mount and Stranger in a strange land. Neither was _that_ weird, but both were mind bending.

Yes, I see a lot of those in the local used book stores. Must have been quite a thing in the day.

At least you have the guarantee that one editor thought each book was good enough to publish.

Looks cool! Thanks @Ray_Otus

That’s partly why I suggested bumping it back a month - so there’s lots of time.
-
Gateway by Frederick Pohl won multiple awards including Hugo, nebula, and locus. That’s the only one that stands out for me.
-
And that took no time at all.

Letters are OK, and I didn't mind just having text there. We can try what Ray suggests. It'll take a bit of time, but we're not in a rush.

Nice to see you again, @MARCC . @xiombarg , the Queen of Swords! We've been talking about doing a Moorcock soon. Welcome again, @PresGas.

I liked the black and white look myself, but I'm easy.

No, this - should match the background colour better.
-
OK, try this.

(Quote) Woah - that's cool!

Post Ray's original image and I'll play with it. I always like the logo, but it looks a bit lost tucked up there.

I never used to, but at some point I became aware of the '50 books' thing and got curious - I did a rough count and figured I did read 50 books a year. I decided to keep track one year to see. To keep track, I put them in a spreadsheet and recorded …

(Quote) Great to see you, @night_arrant!

(Quote) Welcome, Charlie. We've created a forum in which to post RPG reviews. Please feel free to post in it. I plan to as well.

Can we try it with no logo there? It’s a bit distracting.
