About half way through Player of Games by Iain M. Banks.

Decided to re-read the entire series. Read it years ago and it’s as good the second time round.

I wonder does he have a bank account now.

Love the analogy :-)

An image I can’t get out of my head!!

Voyager

But thanks for this list - gives me a few alternatives I can try :-)

Just started today, Player of Games by Iain M. Banks.

I’ve read the entire series, and decided to re-read. Just completed Consider Phlebus yesterday and it was as good as the first time I read it.

This is good to know!

Signed up and paid for Deezer but it doesn’t work with my vpn (Mullvad) so I cancelled.

Now I’m in a similar situation as others in this thread - looking for a non-US music streaming, other than Spotify :-)

Wow, I had to look that one up. Had never heard of it.

This looks promising. I’m in Ireland - we’re always the last to get these (too small a country!)

One to keep an eye on - thanks for that.

I wish Europe had its own payment system (that’s widely accepted). There are a few, but tend to be only at a national level.

I haven’t but now that I know, I’ll definitely check it out - thanks

Oh that would be sooooo good!!

Exactly my feelings.

Ebooks are so convenient but I buy paper or hardback for historical and biographies (they usually contain maps, diagrams and pictures which are more easily referenced and viewed in real life).

He probably thinks Parmigiano Reggiano is a new extreme leftist Democratic candidate for mayor of NYC

Currently reading Consider Phlebus. Read the entire series years ago but thought it was worth re-read. Just as good as my first time!

Stop calling them settlers. If Palestinians were doing the killing, they’d be called terrorists.

Is this a new leaked chat between Hegseth and Trump? I’m confused!

True :-) Unfortunately

What’s needed is a hurricane to hit Mar a Largo and flatten it. I’d bet FEMA would be resurrected the next day.

Collectively, you voted for this fascist. As a non-USian, I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the drama unfold. Very similar to watching the Brexit debacle here in Europe.

So this is what freedom looks like? Where are all the 2nd Amendment fanboys when they’re needed? Probably sitting in the parents basement surfing the net for manga.
