Shroud is a standalone. Sorry.

I know how you feel. Just finished the last book in the Tyrant Philosophers. Have to seek out more and more…

Similar. Shroud and A Drop of Corruption are both great. Corruption is the second book in the series. “The Tainted Cup” is the first.

Adrian Tchaikovsky is, imho, one of the all time greats.

Haven’t read any of the others.

Look at this book, “Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail.

I needed a career change and it pointed me at something I’d never considered before. Turns out I was good at it and really enjoyed the job.

One of my favorite classic Top Gear episodes was when the lads drove locally sourced used cars across Africa.

I like puzzles and games.

Deciding which ones I am going to pursue and which I’m going to ignore is an interesting way to examine myself.

Tried and dropped the Cube early on. Recently tried Pips, stopped after I saw that I was just annoying myself.

I have a feeling the stuff Putin has on Trump makes Epstein look like wholesome.

Here’s an open ended game I invented.

Two teams or individuals can play. First up picks two movie stars who never worked together. Say Helen Mirren and Bruce Lee. Second player has to come up with a plot for the two. Because Helen made movies from 18 until today she can play any age, but Bruce can only be as old as he was in his last movie.

And America will end up with a deal a thousand times worse than the one Obama got for giving the Iranians back their own money.

One of the first things Ronald Reagan did after leaving the White House was help Sony buy a US studio. He got $5 million.

Back in the day it was called a ‘rumble.’

First incident should be him challenging Bernie Sanders to a charity debate before the 2015 Conventions.

Bernie was all for it, but TACO

Not original to me.

Trump has so many drunks working at the highest level of government that his advisors should be called ‘The Liquor Cabinet.’

But they made a TV show about how smart he is!!

You misunderstand.

There’s a big difference between something you’re passionate about and something you enjoy.

The book works by testing your skills in different areas and then giving you a list of jobs that sue those skills.

For example, if one has good social skills and good dexterity they could be successful as a hairstylist or as a paramedic or as a product demonstrator.

All the jobs are different but they use the same skills.

If you actually like talking to people you’ll be miserable driving a truck alone all day. That’s what the book prevents.

Instead of plowing on through, stop and let the story work on you.

It’s fine for you to sit and just think about the story.

If you want to let the world build in your mind slowly, that’s fine.

Isthere a local library you can get physical books from?

You could get a civil service job and work for the community.

Are you reading physical books or screen text?

I find it much easier to read print on paper.

People knew he managed to bankrupt casinos in 2016 and still thought he could run a country.

A doctor recommended zinc for general immunity.
