I just started Simulacron-3 by Daniel Galouye (which is the book that inspired the movie The 13th Floor). The book I most recently finished is Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Found it at a yard sale a few years ago and was curious to read since it was all the rage in the 90s. I’d also like to read Dianetics one day out of curiosity since as a little kid in the 80s I saw those commercials all the time

I bet that was interesting. I remember the hype around that too. From the title I imagine it would be heresy to the modern world while also being one of the on-ramps into how we are in the predicament we have today.
I haven't read enough lately book wise. I might have to grab something new soon, or at least something from the library. Honestly, I'm a bit more in the mood for something, uh, "nice" in reading. Something optimistic, but not in stupid fake utopia ways.
Yea it’s a good book and does have some good couple advice. But yea I could see ppl being upset about it today. They wouldn’t like the concept that men and women are different and need to understand each other.
Reading is always an adventure. I know I sound corny but it’s true. Why not read some golden age sci fi or get an omnibus of silver age Superman? Louis L’Amour for some good adventure
Yeah I very well may go pick out some old school sci fi I haven't made it to yet. I'm not nearly as crazy as you where it seems like you probably have an entire public library as content, but I have overbought books.
