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'.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
