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

Available for free here:

http://www.jackherer.com/thebook/

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?

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
