I'm going to choose to interpret your comment as charitably as possible, and that your library is the best curated on the planet. What have you been reading?

i haven't actually read Atlas Shrugged, probably should considering how often it's referenced in discussions on literature.

I absolutely understand why people hate it. on lemmy, probably because of themes that could be interpreted as being anti communist. In the real world, because of how it mocks religion quite viciously, and promotes critical thinking.

Also multiple strong female characters who are well written, that really pisses people off.

I can't tell if you intent this as a positive or a negative, but it very much an accurate assessment.

TIL there's a sub here for books.

Terry Goodkind wrote the Sword of Truth series beginning with The Wizard's First rule in 1994, with 17 books in the main series and I believe still ongoing. Not much sex, but it has the brutality down, and is very well written.

While this won't affect me as I don't currently run nvidia hardware, I am excited to see what new and interesting ways they'll make the software suck ass.

Alive and well in the indie scene. HoMM specifically has two spiritual successors I'm keeping an eye on in Hero's Hour (fun and absurd, but doesn't work on linux), and Songs of Conquest (haven't played it yet, looks very promising).

My class was like that, except it was K all the way up through 12. Every year, the same problem kids, and nothing could be done about it. Every year, at least one teacher quit because of my class, rumor has it that one of the high school teachers committed suicide because of us.

Good luck.

Especially when the cheap or free service is better than the expensive service.
