How have you been spending the COVID-19 lockdown?

That's a lot of fresh veg

Working...

Sure 'working' ;)

Reading Stephen King’s The Stand. Great book! It’s about a virus that murders the world. Didn’t know that when I bought it. Picked it because it’s big and it would keep me busy. About halfway through. Hbu OP?

Fucking working. I can work from home so basically nothing has changed for me except i don't have to go into the office.

I've never actually read any Stephen King in spite of having seen so many film and tv adaptations.

Sleeping 10 hours day. Laying in bed another 2 hours. Playing some video games. Having sex out of boredom

At least you still have a job I suppose

That is very true.

Not deemed a key worker so the governments paying my wages, spent the last week getting wrecked and mixing records

How’d you find a picture of me

Truck mechanic here, still working

Probably most of us are still working unless we work in the service sector..

When did you buy the book? Seems like it might’ve been strategically placed in store somewhere you would’ve been likely to notice it (assuming you bought it in store, and recently).

Playing video games, fucking my fiancee so much I got raw spots on my dick cause she gets extra needy when she's stressed out & worried. Ran out of rubbers last weekend, local stores don't have any more, so don't have any way to protect from friction sores.

I can't work from home so our company said we could use vacation time if we wanted. So I did just that.

But then I got an email that basically meant I have to go in on Monday in order to get something done.

I'm terrified of getting this fucking disease I know if I get it I'll be one of the lucky 3% or so who get fucking wrecked by it. And no I'm not over 60.

I'm considering quitting.

Misery scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Always liked the ones that didn’t have much supernatural to them. But as an adult just looking at it as good literature, it’s very enjoyable. I work in the arts, and I’ve always had a personal rule when writing/reviewing fiction: I have to care about you before I care about what happened to you. Stephen King is really good at making you care about his characters before tragically killing/mutilating then.

also pro tip: the defense industry was labeled as 'essential' so I have to go in. which is bullshit. The software I'm working on has fucking nothing to do with the current situation. Finishing our delivery won't help the fight with the virus.

It was at a used bookstore in NH, on the shelf with all the other Stephen King books. Purely coincidence, but I see where you’re coming from. My local Barnes & Noble has a whole display shelf right now filled with books about pandemics.

Can relate. Wife wants me to continually snuggle and gets frisky when she's stressed about shit. City's been on quarantine lockdown going on 2 weeks and all we been doing is watching TV, playing video games, fucking an sleeping. Got some raw areas on my dickhead now.

Having sex with my milf neighbor because her husband is stuck in California

That's a vital rule. So much media of one type or another these days is all spectacle and no charachter depth.

Just lucky I guess

Smart decision. They’ve gotta capitalize as much as they can on this current situation since sales are probably plummeting like hell right now. I assume sales aren’t haven’t been doing well over the past few years anyways with the audio book boom. Big bookstore chain location near me closed down a year or 2 ago.

Playing Doom and working. Also jacking most days

The stand is a good book, but too long. I like the dark tower series best but would never recommend it over different seasons, everything's eventual, or nightmares&dreamscapes. Also everything new by him is shit, see duma key, dr sleep, 112263. I don't think i'm even going to read the eighth dt book because of how disappointing it all is.

So true. I live in NYC (left a few week ago to avoid the Black Death) but I go see a lot of theatre. So much Off-Broadway shit is just whining about social justice. There’s sometimes no story, it’s complaining about how they think the world should be. At least political theatre on Broadway and in good literature has a narrative. Brings me back to 3rd grade: Show, don’t tell!

What year does 'new' begin.

My dad always said he was way better before the accident, but I haven’t read much of his new stuff to see for myself.

I have a personal rule of thumb: if I know what I want, I order from Amazon. If I just want a book and I don’t know what, I go to the bookstore. I find I do that latter more often, and used bookstores are usually even cheaper.

When he accidentally became shit at writing?

Not a bad schedule

thats a pretty fucking hilarious pic
also this

Can't be visiting bookstores in a lockdown.

trying to decide to dip into my stash and get high as fuck or go to bed

Diapered. 24/7, for the past two weeks already

stash! stash! stash!

For me, early 2000s. I liked his late 90s stuff a lot even would say it's his best work. Even some of the stuff at the beginning of the millennium I liked but you can see with books like from a buick 8 that his writing is entertaining, but it doesn't speak to you as a human being.

one of us! one of us!

but when i dip i get super fucking horny and with quarantine shit cant really be fucking around much...

Fuck, didn't realize that happened in 99. That's pretty shitty.

As of right now the bookstores are still open somehow. I guess the governor figured if people are reading they’re staying home. Also, Amazon has a lot of products delayed for a month.

There’s an aesthetic about used book stores, and thrift stores in general, that I find really calming and nostalgic. There’s a certain smell they have. I did some community service hours at one when I was like 19. It was good times, lots of cool shit. Lady that ran it was cool as fuck too.

Finally managed to knot myself on my BD Apollo, came buckets immediately- 8.5” circumference

Well you'd better get down there and do some panic buying amiright?

what are you anons on tonight?

You have hands and the internet right? I'm not seeing the problem.

100%. I’ve always loved the idea that the book I’m reading could have been read by someone 20, 30 years ago. And the smell is magical. Whenever I’m in a new town or on vacation I always try and check out the local independent bookstores.

I don't mind admitting I had a Baileys a while ago.

Just in case I run out of toilet paper I picked some old James Patterson books off the dollar shelf.

cant get hard with tina dick

That's some good thinking

Who's Tina?

my stash is more than just weed...

Woah, that’s crazy. I’ve never thought of that shit. I always visualize heavily when reading stuff, it just tripped me out for a second to take in that everybody visualizes differently. Whoever read that Stephen King book before you could’ve been picturing it in a completely different way than you.

Life is cool, man

Think I'll have a smoke. Got my oxygen to ward off the COVID-19.

tina is nickname for meth

I see. Where I'm from it's just some girl.

Til about 15 years ago I used to be one of those people that if I bought a book it had to be brand fucking new. Then the only bookstore that sold new books at really decent prices, Book Warehouse, closed. For a year or so I didn't buy any books, then went to what used to be the local shopping attraction, until a flood pretty much gutted the place about 25 years ago, and it closed. Now it's a hodgepodge of all kinds of second hand/rummage stores. One of them is a used bookstore I visit very often. I can spend hours just looking through their books. Whenever I have a bad day I can go over there and it all just melts away. Looking at these books, seeing someones name on the inside cover and wondering if that's the original owner or one of a number of owners. Some books along with owner will have a state written down in them and it's like "damn, this book was on the other side of the country at one time." Some of the books are even from libraries and old juvenile detention centers. I've also found old notes, reminders, and postcards from the 60s and 70s, in some books, that were most likely being used as bookmarks. Always find things like that fascinating.

That’s the magic of books man. Give me a name, location, and profession and my imagination will do the rest. Sometimes when I’m reading, I realize I’ve created a whole town with living people in my head, I like to close my eyes and really explore what I’ve imagined. And it requires almost no effort, your brain creates the picture automatically as you read. And it’s completely different for everyone. I feel bad for people that miss out on reading, or let the schools ruin it for them.
