Jesus, something I hate about me right now is my inability to read consistently. When I was a teen I could spend all day between books and finish a book in two/three days.
But now... I've spent two months only to read 60 pages from Dracula. The only queen that keeps me reading is our lady Agatha Christie, she may be old but she never gets old. I also start reading a book and start reading another one and never finish any of them, I have one from Brandon Anderson and another from Ursula Le Guin looking scornfully at me every night |

EDIT Ooops sorry double post
In 2012 I won a gaming PC from an Nvidia competition. I received it in March 2013. It's served me well for seven years. The specs where: i5 3550 8GB @ 1600 mhz Nvidia GTX 660Ti SLI Asus P8Z77-Pro 1200 W PSU 120GB SSD 500GB HDD Silverstone Fortress Full Tower Gaming Case Artic Cooling CPU cooler I added in a DVD drive to it. In 2017 I upgraded the CPU from a i5 3550k to a i7 2700k, and went from 8GB to 16GB (1800 Mhz I think). I also bricked the motherboard in the process, couldn't find the same motherboard cheap enough, so went for the P8Z68-Pro which like the CPU is the gen below. I've also taken out both drives and put in a 1TB SSD. The case itself has a design that I created, which won me the competition and the gaming PC. (I made a thread about it back then, got everyone to vote for it) I feel like I want to sell it on. It has some sentimental value, and it still holds up reasonably well. It can play the Witcher 3, locked to 30fps on high'ish settings, pretty much the entire Dark Souls series really well. It will probably start to show its age at the next generation. Kind of conflicted whether or not to sell it, or just store it away in a cupboard (like my dad suggests) for sentimental value. I think I'd rather someone get some use out of it, rather than sitting around gathering dust. I'm not sure that the fact it has my design on the side and was built by Nvidia will add any value. I was also planning on throwing in my dual 1080p monitors (both from 2010, one I actually found recently to compliment the one I bought 10 years ago), and my gaming keyboard and mouse. I'm planning on buying either a gaming laptop, or waiting for big navi to come out, and building a compact system (or possibly both). |

Some jerk tried to get Melonie Mac fired for commiting wrongthink about Classic Lara on Twitter. It backfired immensely.
Ya love to see it. |

I love literature. It’s truly life itself. It’s feelings literally poured into words, all by different people from different times.
I regret only studying English literature. Now I take a look at every piece of history I find. Does anyone know a good book that I can order from the net, summarizing everything about a specific literature type? It could be about any nation, just in English. ^.^ |

I don't remember any of the books I've read about 'specific literature', but I recommend you to read Poetics from Aristotle. This is a weird choice, I know, but it dwells in the meaning of literature and fiction, the true nature behind them and how they affect us in our daily lives.
