The Lord of the Rings. I’m technically still reading it though. Just finished the Battle of the Pellenor Fields.

What’s something you believe in that most people don’t?

I believe in the redemptive, therapeutic, curative powers of psilocybin and the very real possibility of utopia, though not in our lifetimes.

It's actually sitting here on my desk. Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History, by Roy Adkins and Lesley Adkins.

I am working my way through the Necronomicon... very slowly. Last completed book would be the audio edition of Wise Man's Fear.

Ooooh, I got that one too! A great read. ^_^

Rothfuss is enjoyable.
As to the Necro, I remember that I bought a black leather RL version inlaid with silver that was most disappointing when I was a teenager (Simon version.) I did keep it for quite some time. As an adult I found a use for it: to frighten off Jehovah's witnesses.
The Wormius version by Tyson I bought just now. If it makes too much sense I'm going to relegate it to the scrap heap too. Maybe it'll be okay. Here's hoping.
There's apparently someone writing one page by page, with illustrations (some examples available online) that's done some 40+ pages thus far. I liked what I saw. I was tempted to write one myself a year or so ago (I didn't know about any of these newer ones.)
Now if you have an Arabic Al-Azif please leave it me in your will after you tear your eyes out and try to summon Azathoth or Yog-Sothoth and get 'et along with any nearby cities. I'm certain that I'll be joining you soon thereafter.

Re-read Cirque du Freak. Great book when I was young, still great when I read it now.

You have to love some Darren Shan.

I dunno. Probably my Biomedical Sciences Textbook.

I am about to start reading a hardback Pickwick Papers that I picked up from a charity shop though.

Very well. I shall make the necessary arrangements for when my mind shatters. Remember: That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die...

What’s something in your nation’s stats/lore that you’re especially proud of?

The stat I am most proud of is our Scientific Advancement. Top 10 in the Region.
Lore wise I am most proud of my nation's dedication toward space exploration.

Hmm, well I kinda scrapped my IC lore a bit ago on my main nation and relocated them to a doc. But back then I was happy about how my nation (Dyllonia) sort of reflects on a combination of IC and OOC stuff. I originally founded my nation to be a dictatorship and in rps it acted that way. Then a few months later I found that rping as a dictator wasn't really cool and I would rather be a democracy, so I answered issues for quite a while that would change the direction of its stats.

Now that I escaped IC stuff I am proud of my main having high stats in things like inclusiveness and kindness (especially after it was a little authoritarian when it was founded lol)

Having top 1% on Welfare! Legitimately took me 4 years for that.

Autarky. A nation's economic self-sufficiency is a good first step to avoiding trade wars and worrying about the rest of the world's problem. :D

The country on the other side of the world can go into as many economic depressions as it wants but as long as my nation is going strong, I don't have to care. ^_^

The basket weaving industry. Currently 968th in the world and 32nd in Osiris. Also, it’s the only ranking in which we are in the world’s top 0.5%.

Depends on the nation. This one is still under construction and a number of others are being rebuilt. One specializes in high crime rate and corruption. Another in Authoritism. A couple are far more democratic. One has nothing to do with human issues and dismisses them. Several of the above are into scientific advancement and I.T.

Writing ~33,000 words for the short stories in my leader factbooks was an ordeal certainly, though I am not sure 'proud' is the correct word as I am reluctant to read them again due to how awful they may seem to me in hindsight. I am that kind of writer.

Never look at them. I answer issues randomly.

My civil rights! Rated in the bottom 99th percentile!
