I am currently reading "The Elf Queen of Shannara" by Terry Brooks

...

it's the third book in the second series, i highly recommend picking up his first book "The Sword of Shannara" and getting into the series'

Yup, read them all (including the Demon stuff and the Shannara prequel). A must read series in my book (to make a pun).

I'll move on to the Discworld after :)

Apparently I have been missing out!

I haven't read those particular books but I have read most of the Discworld series at one time or another.

just starting :D

That's the book my son is currently reading.

What I am currently reading is Elantris by Branden Saunderson (the guy who took over the Wheel of Time series). I've read it before but now I'm keeping an eye out for adult references but it seems perfectly fine for a 10 year old. I started reading it aloud to him but he'll probably take it over soon enough.

Sanderson is a genius! I can't say it enough. Mistborn is an incredibly amazing trilogy, his Alcatraz series was a lot of fun to read and Elantris was great as well.

It's actually an extremely interesting read. It was sitting in my local library and because I have an interest in the Third Reich I figured I might as well grab it. It's about 260 pages, but it's quite a long and thorough look at a member of the Fallschirmj?ger: and a 'first generation' member, at that. If you see a copy of it sitting around, I highly recommend it - especially if you find this era in history to be interesting. According to Amazon, it's ?19.99, though it's available for ?13.99 at the moment, with free Super Saver Delivery. If you're looking for a biography I'd suggest it.

My #1 book beef these days...

With all of the Twilight crap out there, I'm noticing more and more romance crap being filed under "SciFi". I draw the line when some Nora Roberts books get filed under there because there is some minimal time travel element to the story.

Just finished entire Asimovs Foundation series (7 books). Took me quite a while to do that.(nearly 2 months since ive read 1 book per week)

Now i am thinking if i should read robot series, or something entirely different from either arthur clarke or even Machiavelis The Prince. Hmm :D

The Emperor Wears No Clothes

Quote from the back cover:

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation?

Then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world?s paper and textiles; meeting all of the world?s transportation, industrial and home energy needs; simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time?

And that substance is?the same one that did it all before?

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
