Perhaps "Brave new world", it is very short and nice.
Or "1984", it is also very short and nice.

I love those two with some special regard. But I think the one I like the most it is brave new world.
H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" is also very nice.

I think I just like old very short and well written dystopic science fiction.

I'm reading now A Daughter of the Samurai by Sugimoto. I can't tell this is my best book, but it's very interesting. It's a real story about traditional japanese family told by one member. (so called biography, right?)

All time fav has to be "a tree grows in Brooklyn"
Also American gods (and everything by Neil Gaiman), Carrie, The Great Gatsby and Jane Eyre. I have so many more but don't know which to include so i'll stick to current fav books.
Edit: can't believe I didn't include Haruki Murakami. go for any of his books and you'll be good.

Gosh, Gatsby was great. I read it for the first time on ikureader (ds homebrew ebook reader) - the book was actually included as one of the default books distributed with the homebrew.

That thing was great. I actually used to read a ton of books on my DS back in the day. I read Brothers Karamazov on there too - a great book if you're looking for something.

Anna Karenina was the first classic book I really liked. It had lots of unique interesting characters and good writing style. I felt all the emotions the characters had, so it was really hard to read it at the end.
So, as we usually wrote at school (argh, headache): "I highly recommend this book'.

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow
  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/

    I was near the test market for the NES and man did it make my 2600 look like ass lol

    The 3DO and Neo Geo where like 700 bucks hmm the PS3 was stupid expensive at launch lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My opinion is that 199.99 is the sweet spot but that spot is long gone lol

    400 is a decent sweet spot if we get enough out of it
