I work at a doctor's office, and a lot of the time it's really slow. What book should I put on my phone to read when nothing is going on?

Something engrossing, and fairly light because I'll be working, so I'll have to stop a lot in the middle of reading.

My favorite writers are China Mieville, Ursula LeGuin, and Alexandre Dumas.

How about some poetry? Ginsberg or something, perhaps. Vibrant without being overtly demanding.

Here is something light and fun:

Maybe some Asimov short stories.

About 2/3 of the time, the office is dead. 5.28 hours of poetry seems like a lot. Though I do like Ginsberg. I'll put a little bit on there, anyway.

I'd rather it not be a play. I prefer to read plays aloud. I'll read that at some point, though.
>>2569246
Maybe. I'll put some on there.

Awesome. Thanks. What kind of story is it?

Hey op, do you know the girl in your pic? If so could you ask her to come over to my please, beat me up, and fuck me? I'll cook her dinner afterwards.

It is hard to explain. It is fun though
