It’s really sad seeing what passes for “libraries” now in the large liberal city I live in. There’s like, a giant anime section, an even larger chink language section, and then like 8 stacks of actual human books, and that’s it. The rest is computers for homeless pedophiles to use.
Anna's Archive has them.
Mine got some stupid idea about how you had to read a small book a week, like 50-100 pages, from second grade and that they each had a 'difficulty tier' which you must read a certain number of before being ALLOWED to read more advanced books. Me being an earnest reader from early on to today found all the stuff in the lower tiers completely boring and I'd just ignore it and go raid the school library for the fifth-grade section fantasy books at recess to take home. They'd then get annoyed I wasn't reading lmfao
This type of shit is the absolute worst. My school had a system where you could only take books at your grade level or one grade above. They wouldn't even let you bring in your own books from home (even with parental permission) because they "couldn't vet it".
Great idea from the department of education. The gamification of reading is so annoying, it’s worse than not encouraging it at all. You breed a bunch of snobs who see reading as a status symbol, the “I read 200 books a year” kind of faggots who don’t even give a shit what they’re reading, don’t think or analyze it, they just speedrun it so they can add it to their goodreads list and show it off to others. They proudly display their books on their shelves in color-coded order to make it as aesthetic as possible. I like to re-read my favorite novels over and over, discovering new layers each time, and to these people it’s pointless because it’s not about knowledge or even enjoyment.
Archive.org has them available for check-out on their Open Library. Annas-Archive.org has downloadable PDFs.
Think mine had that, but I can't recall the details. All I recall about reading in my youth in terms of school books was taking out the Garfield Comic collections, a suspense/horror anthology book, and some book that featured a wimpy kid(not that one) who moved and joined the wrestling team to improve himself.
Now that's the Alex Jones we know and love. Gave me a genuine laugh.
Same with ours. I just ignored it lmao and read the most advanced books I could find from the moment I had access to the library in first grade.
there was an article posted here after doge razed usaid about an america hire a protest organization running out of money, during blm we read about a large group of antifa that travel to different cities to stoke riots and then act blue got caught funding 4 groups for the telsa riots. those protests aren't inline with the views of the regular democrat.
Still a nice read though. Better than some gay new age shit like The 48 Laws of Power.
Good kids book. Will there be enough Room?
I remember my teachers made me read some non Star Wars books in 4th or 5th grade. I was just reading adult Star Wars books and comics. Honestly the only books that were made for my age group at the time I actually read on my own volition was Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Small correction, but it was short fingered, which is actually just a way to call someone a cheapskate, rather than a dig at his actual hands, being an allusion to a man who can't seem to reach the coins at the bottom of his coin purse.
When a A&H poster (Based and cool) goes into the Elon Musk thread (gay and full of Aids)
I alwas went with the view that the letter P had just won a fight, hence the black eye.
Do schools teach the 48 laws of power? I like it when people read books, but beyond that, I don't really care how dumb people choose to be. Imo, that's all it is, a choice. Smaller class sizes, parents having an academic presence, and good teachers help, but if a kid doesn't want to learn, you can't make them.
