Libraries have a ton of CDs too... even newer ones.

I've not missed cloud functionality since I worked out Proton Drive and Syncthing.

Or stuffed with wool.

I'm not exactly eager to jump into Brave New World, either...

Norsemen is just such a great show all around.

I really like that analogy, thank you! I do think of my Kobo as my "forever library" and it is one of my prized possessions.

Treating people with basic humanity should be the bare minimum, but sadly it's a foregone conclusion.

Yes, book 3 was great but the worldbuilding in it felt like it was backloaded with respect to book 2. And even book 2 was very expository.

I really liked The Raven Tower, though had some issues with it. But I've been meaning to get through Leckie's other books because that worldbuilding and cleverness with language was on another level.

To be fair, I don't think many non-Brits would understand that term even well into college. (Source: me...)

He didn't have to be an asshole about it, though.

Aw, I've been looking forward to Imperial Radch.

Your comments on that seem similar to how I felt about The Broken Earth trilogy. Great series, but book 1 and maybe book 3 were far better than the second.
