    I was reading Crime and Punishment but I got sidetracked by The Wheel of Time. Almost done with the first book, it's alright but there seems to be a lot of aspects taken from Lord of the Rings. Nazgul/Myrddraal, fell beasts/Draghkar, using crows and ravens as spies, One Ring/some bs dagger, a sinister dark force/threat to the universe locked up but breaking free, even descriptions of Minas Tirith/Caemlyn are similar...maybe gonna take a break when I'm done with the first one and get Crime and Punishment finished.

    Dover Thrift Editions on Amazon are cheap af for anybody interested.
    If you have Prime, it's seriously like $1-$3 a book.

    Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back by Josh Hamilton.

    Boring start, but once it got to the drug addiction part of his life it's pretty crazy.

    Love it so far. Short and well written. Haven't even gotten to the good parts yet.
    It's $5 at Barnes & Noble and $2.25 on Amazon.

    I read a few books through txt files on a PSP back in the day lol. I can point you in the right direction.
    What books are you looking for? Using a specific app that needs a specific file type?

    Right now I'm reading Fast Food Nation. I worked at fast food restaurants for years and its fascinating reading about how the place I worked at was the final process in a long system of artificial flavoring, animal cruelty, and marketing.

    Next I'm gonna be reading Crimes Against Logic, pretty short don't know how good it will be. After that I have 100 Years of Solitude and then I'm going to order this book called Code. I'm learning very slowly about programming languages but I also wanna learn about the history of them.
