I was watching the tv series on Apple TV and got hooked. The pace was a little slow though and some parts of the plot seemed over worked and drawn out. Nevertheless, the premise for the show was so intriguing to me that when the first season ended on a cliff hanger, I opted to jump into the books instead....

And I absolutely loved it. It is honestly one of my new favorite books. I am going to tag basically this whole post as spoilers because the thing that truly makes this book amazing does not start until almost 100 pages in....

I started a new campaign after many many years and the setting is so beautiful, tropical island fighting pirates who’s business is drugs and human trafficking

“Piracy” here is used in the context of books and all sorts of manuscripts....

I’ve tried looking this up and never find a solid answer. Seems to be down to preference, but I’m thinking there has to have been some study around fonts and reading speed or reading comprehension, something that would help me pick a font?...

Any Michener fans here? I just read “Space” and it was amazing. Wondering what from him I should read next?

Title, it would be nice to get to know the community in a place where we could see each other reading habits.
