My tech world stops with my laptop. I.e., I don't carry a smart phone, so that relegates me to hard-copy stuff only.
I was thinking some sort of omnibus book with short stories, jokes, puzzles, riddles, cartoons, math problems, famous quotes, trivia **** etc. would be a cool thing to have handy, lol.

That’s brilliant! I dunno if it exists, but it would be cool. Like an adult Highlights magazine

Right! Just a mixed bag of stuff to keep it intellectually stimulating. There could be different volumes, but they'd all follow the same general pattern.

Do you like cryptic crossword puzzles? They're my favorite.

ZolotoyRetriever — 9 months ago(June 19, 2025 07:12 AM)

Yes, I love those, but for the most part I'm doing the standard crossword puzzles, such as the NY Times Sunday CW puzzles.

My phone obviously.

I'm not a phone person, but if I were that'd be an excellent idea.

I don't do my phone either. I rarely have it with me. I bring a paperback book with me for just such occasions. I much prefer real books to anything with a screen.
I carry a copy of Good Omens, a book I've read easily over a dozen times if not more, but it's very catchy. I'm on my 4th copy of the book because I've worn the others to pieces!

No, I did not. Is it good?

Lilith — 9 months ago(June 19, 2025 04:50 PM)

Yes. I thought the series was pretty good. Great casting. They changed it from the source material, which was sad, but that seems to happen quite often.

I read multiple books, and I always take one to a doctors office or anywhere I’ll have to wait.

I'm not much into them myself, but if you're into comic books, that'd be a great thing to take with you.
