I don't mean to turn this into the Videogames Tab, but I'm playing Riven on Steam via Windows 10 and not having any issues beyond the fact that the game did look crisper in its original incarnation....

Re: Reading Tab

Are you getting them through Steam? That's how I'm replaying them, since my PC doesn't like any of my original disks, even the DVD set I got as part of one of their anniversaries.

Re: Reading Tab

Did you play the games, Sleezy? Our family was addicted to them, which is why I bought the books in the first place. (I think I found the hardbacks used somewhere but bought the paperbacks new.)

I have that one, too. But honestly, it's been decades since I read any of these, so my brain's a bit fuzzy on details. If I picked 'em back up now, I'd probably start over, with eyes a little older...

Wow, and here I might have thought I'd be the only person here to have read that Myst book. (I think I got halfway through The Book of Ti'ana before putting it down, but that was back when I had...

Ha ha! A few were annoying (so far) but I'm slogging through them. I'd hate to miss something worthwhile.




Agreed! I'm now about 1/5 of the way done (maybe a little more). So far, so good. Am...

Re: Reading Tab

I'm about 325 pages into JS&MN right now and really having fun with it. The series can't really get the feel of the book since it's written in a style that mirrors the time period itself. I'm reading...

Somehow I ended up in the middle of a ton of books all at once -- and I mean I'm actively reading/shifting among all of them. Most evenings I pick up each one in turn and spend the 1-2 last hours of...

Gone Girl is a surprisingly marvelous page-turner. I went into it having no clue what to expect or even what genre it was. Loved it from the first page. The Stand is one of King's best (and...

I'm about 75% into the book now. I wouldn't call their phrases cutesy. In fact, if there IS anything generically cute about them, it quickly fades as the strangeness of the story grows. And that...

I totally agree about Lonesome Dove. I read it myself and loved it -- and I'd never read a western before. I then started reading Dead Man's Walk and got about 1/4 of the way into it before realizing...

Omigosh, Miss Vicky, I'm reading it too! Preordered it about a month ago and was WAITING for it to show up. I've caught myself snorting out laughter at way too many spots.
