Or maybe 80% of people are unhappy. No data here either

A book called The Night by a Venezuelan author.

I feel a bit bad saying this because there are definitely worse books but this one stuck with me as the premise sounded really interesting but the book was nothing like it.

There is a review on goodreads that sums it up pretty nicely.

Literature about literature, books about books, literature about books, books about literature, literature about literature, books about books, ...

After this comment got into reading this comic and learning about the élan school. I was gonna search how much of it is true but the comic is so long that the research will have to wait until tomorrow. If you have a lot of time, it's worth a read.

I think that was the initial idea behind Pocket but no idea how it has developed since then.

The main thing is a script to stop any media playing and turn off the screen after x minutes, so I can fall asleep watching YouTube or listening to something. There's probably already an app for that but this is pretty customizable.

Another stupid use is putting the phone on silent while using the camera app because Samsung won't let you turn off the camera shutter sound.

Tasker. Basically an interface for writing scripts for your phone. Even if you don't have a use case in the beginning you'll start finding things to do with it.

Oh I didn't know about this. You're talking about The Familiar, right? I don't know if I'm up for another 5 books like this but now I really want to try.

If you want something really wild by him you can try Valis. Going in blind or not won't really make a difference.

A speaker too. So you can mess with your pets while away or spy on your spouse. What an amazing product idea /s

Definitely House of Leaves. A story inside of a story, inside of a story, with all narrators being just a bit crazy. Text of different fonts, going all over the place and even upside down based on the story. Just make sure to get the physical copy.

Is there a difference at this point? If it doesn't automatically correct you, you don't have to correct it back.

At this point its main function is adding apostrophes and tildes to words. About half the time it does that when it's not needed and needs correction. Eg. the first "its" in this comment.
