A thoughtful attempt at a solution.

Problem: I feel like I have zero attention span lately. I'd like to focus on things some more.

What helps me focus? Well. I used to get really focused on reading books, but haven't had any new books in some time. Finances dictate I'm not -buying- new books, either.

However, between the Baen Free Library and the Baen CD Page, I do have access to a LOT of novels for free. They're just... not all of the quality or personal interest level I may wish.

So... I'll be trying to read stuff from them to focus my brain back into having a goddamn attention span again. Thus, if I update here with cryptic "OH JOHN RINGO NO" style posts, rest assured that's probably what's going on.

Could you buy new used books?

Or this is good.

I could do that. But I'm saving money.

And yeah, but there's only so much Lovecraft one can take at a time. The man DOES rather go ON. And on. And on.

*HUGGLES!!!!!!!!!* Oh it makes me so happy to hear you say that! Saving money! I wish more people would save money. <3

Here, these stories are pretty good too, perhaps. The Link

I just got back from the Used Bookstore, because I am WEAK, so do not get happy at me. *sheepish*

Alas. What did you get?

...it's the very next post after this one.

Well, yes, but I reply to comments during my 'email reply' phase, and reading new livejournal entries comes after that, so I didn't see that you had answered my question already, untill after I had asked it. ^.^

I've also found that, in lieu of losing one's self in books, also of optional use is reading page after page of the TV Tropes wiki.

Your mileage may vary, of course.

You should review video game tie-in novels for SqrlGames! :D
