I used to call in sick for major video game releases. kinda miss those days. Now I work at a place that rewards attendance with vacation days and if I took a day off I would spend it working on stuff around the house anyway. Oh well, so it goes. Poo tee weet.

I’m not so sure that doing this once in a while would hurt productivity. All the time - yes, once in a while - not so sure.

It's more likely to boost productivity

My hunch agrees with you

So I just re-read The Hobbit,very cute & nice, I love it still!

I was a real bookworm-nerd when I was younger, but I'm ok with rereading good books, so what should I read now? Any suggestions?

Newer books greatly appreciated too of course 😘

All of the Discworld books of course. Or at least your favorites.

Of course! I have reread them a fair amount of times already but it has been a while ...

Have you read the sword of truth series by terry goodkind? Easily my favorite fantasy series, however there are 17 books in the core series, 21 total. I was also a bookworm and it killed me waiting for new releases..

The rifters trilogy by Peter watts is great surreal sci-fi, and freely available (he released it free on his own website, as well as ebook download)

Thank you! 17-21 books, that's not a downside! Will check out.

The original Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn. They were the first books to expand the Star Wars universe after the original movies and introduced some names, characters and other stuff that were later used in other productions, like Coruscant was first named here. Also, they are great books, intriguing characters, nice story, etc.

It's more sci fi than fantasy but I greatly enjoyed both The Expanse series and The Three Body Problem books. The expanse is just good start to finish. TBP however requires a little bit of forgiveness, it's a less than stellar translation from Chinese, it carries a lot of cultural baggage that gets lost in translation. But it gets better with each book

The 3 body problem was nice from a historical/human point, I really liked that, but the scifi part was so bad IMO 😞.
