Save your eyes! Invest in audiobooks
Jokes aside, my schedule lately doesn't allow me nearly enough actual reading time. I've moved over to audiobooks in order to allow me to still consume content at a reasonable pace. A very enjoyable experience as long as you have a semi-proper narrator providing the content.
But, does that not consume a lot more time? Probably only efficient if using traffic time, which is not a problem in Koringberg.Save your eyes! Invest in audiobooks

Stephen Fry reading MYthos - his retelling of the Greek Myths and Legends. 15+ hours of Fry to get me through my "traffic" each day.Save your eyes! Invest in audiobooks

It really depends hey. I listen when I'm driving, doing random admin at work, out for a run, when I'm mixing, doing any vape maintenance. I have a bunch of scenarios where I can actually manage to listen to audiobooks so it works out quite well.
I wouldn't mind this, but actually turning a page is part of the joy for me, like opening a present. But I can see some situations where that may be benificial, not easy to rewick while reading
yes
Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely have to check this one out
I think the reason I read more English is due to the horrible afrikaans books I was exposed to in school. Except for Kringe in n bos, I can't remember a single afrikaans book by a South African author I actually enjoyed. Wait, there is another one I absolutely loved as a kid: Dwergplaneet!! I must actually buy that again so my son can enjoy it as well.
LOL, no, it was a nickname, either Caramia (ala Addams family) or Carmina (Burana) - I have been quite the dramatic party animal.
Meds students should LEARN to write rather... I cannot remember if I ever spoke to a doctor about Shakespeare or Poetry for that matter
Well there are good writers like Ettiene van Heerden, Ettiene le Roux, Marita van der Vyver, Deon Weideman, Andre P Brink, etcetera.
West side story.
Have you read Leon van nierop's books?
I only read English fantasy books specifically one author Brandon Sanderson can't put his books down.
My wife made me read adrenaline by Leon van nierop and I must say this was an excellent read.
I haven't had time to read lately and I must say it sucks.
Maybe it's time to start looking at Afrikaans books for a change, I too have been too busy, but will have to make time for this as I cannot watch tv at this stage, too much movement.
Just wanted to add some thoughts to the spelling thing. I am dyslexic and spell phonetically yet I had a distinction in Afrikaans and English matric and they are currently my main subjects I am self-conscious about my spelling and mind when people correct me although I would listen and take advice and try my utmost to not make the same mistake.
My wife is an Afrikaans teacher and a grammar Nazi of note. She actually laughs at some of the spelling mistakes I make but luckily she still spell checks everything I write in a formal manner

Sad thing I noticed since I started teaching. Kids don't read any more. This might be a generalization but I have noticed that it's to much effort for a child to just turn back in a text book and look for answers. My personal opinion is that the information age brought this about because everything is instantly available.
Now I sound like an old person complaining about kids these days lol

So my 10 year old daughter is going to her first school dance tomorrow. Im stressing my freaking ass off. Think im going to sit outside the school with a shotgun and a pair of binoculars just to make sure no boy gets 10m from her. Look i trust my daughter with everything in me, but its all those bloody boys that worries me
I only have two schlangs to worry about, you have to worry about the whole neighborhoods
, but I think it is still too early for the shotgun, after 16 toy. For now you just sit and carve a cabanossi as if you're circumcising it, they will get the message.
WahahahahaI only have two schlangs to worry about, you have to worry about the whole neighborhoods
I used to have one, but I never really liked it. It was convenient for flying, though.
@Room Fogger I remember the programmes in the evening: Squad Cars "They prowl the empty streets at night...", The Creaking Door (scary then but tame by today's standards), The Men from the Ministry, hmmm ... who can add to this list?
It sounds like you've added a filter to "skip the Inbox" for the alert emails from the forum, which means that that email will automatically go into the folder which you've chosen in the filter. It won't appear in your Inbox at all.
@Friep Gosh well done on the distinctions!!
Lucky for you your wife doesn't check your grammar too, otherwise you'd be in for a whipping due to a grammar mistake in your post above. Sinful! I mean, really sinful!
Lol she does check my grammar but not on the forum. Please excuse the mistakes I make.@Friep Gosh well done on the distinctions!!
