#MAGA, contact me for the $1.99 Trump sticker set. Put them on them on your favorite book, lunchbox, video game cartridge, or even your sneakers.
I am really pissed off that the new Trump endorsed Bible doesn't have a Don't Tread On Me snake printed on the cover.
Trump is going to put out every classic book that is in the public domain as "Trump endorsed editions."
Why pay an author or Jesus royalties?
"You know who would have been Trump's number fan? Mark Twain. Good Ol' Sammy the Bull Clemens.
One of my favorite facts, over two hundred uses of the word “n*gg*r" are in Huckleberry Finn."

@Bix @InUnfunky @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude if you had ever actually read the complete works of Mark Twain you'd know this is so very not true. Samuel Clemons would despise Trump.

I was trying to write satire, that was supposed be a Trump sales pitch for his new lines of books.
@Bix @InUnfunky @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude ah, ok... it's hard to keep up here sometimes.
one of my biggest regrets is not grabbing the set of the complete works of Twain that my parents had before my dad estate saled everything in the NH house...

I use an E-book reader. You can load any public domain book from the internet on them for free.
Also, all of Twain's books in audiobook are free from here, LibriVox:

Keep the Dewey, put the rest back to gather virtual dust. 😎
@Bix thanks B, been there, done that. I’m a big librivox fan and recommend searching the audio and video files too. Pick an author, or phrase like “radio drama”. @redenigma @InUnfunky @tgraph52 @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude

Canis, I love old time radio, like Lights Out and CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
Listen to them for free (public domain) from here:

@Bix I’m all over that site too! Lots of fun video to be found there! BTW one or the other maybe both host ‘Mindwebs’; a radio show featuring speculative fiction; much better than most of the CBS Mystery Theatre material.

I was thrilled to find the site when I found out they ad Grateful Dead concerts free to download... and now up to
17,238 shows....
Not all that exciting for the non-fans.
@tgraph52 @CanisPundit @redenigma @InUnfunky @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude
Yes, the same here. Note, they have other bands too.
@CanisPundit @redenigma @InUnfunky @tgraph52 @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude
Ages ago, I 1st found that site when looking for Grateful Dead bootlegs [Trey, just ignore this comment].

Dear Bixie —
I do not have an — como se dice? — “E-book reader.” Would you think of me as a Luddite (like my vinyl preference) if I read all of my books in paper format? Please advise ASAP.
Long-time fan —
T

Trey, Trey, Trey.
To each their own. I used to travel often, I like reading 3 or so books at the same time - & switch back and forth as my mood changes. My e-book reader let me travel light.
@Bix @InUnfunky @redenigma @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude
a son bought an e-book reader for my wife for christmas and was hinting around about it and she was very definite in NOT wanting one... She reads a lot and will always prefer the paper kind
@tgraph52 @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude i am more a fan of dead tree media myself. i had a Nook, but it died... taking my games & a few books with it...
@redenigma @tgraph52 @Bix @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude
Hard copies are the best copies.
NTM that I really am not fond of “mobile/smart phones” and glowing screen that hurts my eyes. 😎
@InUnfunky but what about all those bootlegs of books on inferior paper stock? 🤣

eReaders are very different from reading on a phone or computer screen.
They're lit in a way that's easier on your eyes. And the ability to set temperature, brightness, font, and font size makes them easier than a print book. Also, they're light weight.
I do love dead tree books, but my aging eyes and arthritic elbows find it much, much easier to read on an eReader.

Also, as a renter, I only have so much room for physical books--but currently own nearly 1000 ebooks.

Another thing, Neil Gaiman's Sandman and V for Vendetta are WAY better on a tablet because I am in my 50's and need reading glasses, but I still like to blow up the text.
@InUnfunky @Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude wait, what?! everyone knows vinyl has better sound reproduction... don't they?
@redenigma @Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @ChelseaGirl429 @Flyingdutchman696 @Maude
Not Bixie. 😂
And yes but also — I have yet to hear a 180/200gm remaster that is a disappointment in sound. 🤷🏻♂️

I'm a rebel and a runner
I'm a signal turning green
I'm a restless young romantic
I want to run the big machine
I've got a problem with his poisons
But you know I'll find a cure
I'm cleaning up the systems
To keep my nature pure
What I am saying is that I am learning to match the beat of the old-world man
