@ogo79 I am still reading my Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I am also looking into reading them in English.

There is something about those books that is so captivating.

But the best book I have read has to be Bram Stoker's Dracula the original English version. That is some quality stuff right there!

@Zuljaras
ive been thinking about a lot of old books i read as a kid

@ogo79 Ooooh that is the creator of Goosebumps.

Unfortunately I never had the chance of reading spooky stuff as a kid. The literature I was exposed to was national stuff connected to my countries history. Boring stuff

@Zuljaras
yeah rl stine was the man

I have a lot of Doraemon Adventure comic books.
One of the book i have was about Nobita and Anthromorphic Birds.
It gave me idea to create my own Avian Kickboxers.
I have to research the bird species, which bird i will draw into Chibi Anthro Avian and how old are they.

A little bit spoiler from me about my Avian Kickboxers. The birds i chose were:
1. Dove
2. Crow
3. Swallow
4. Blue Jay
5. Red Cardinal
6. Woodpecker
7. Duck
8. Blue Macaw
9. Owl
10. Red Crown Crane
11. Albatross
12. Eagle

Some info about them.
Dove, Crow, Swallow, Blue Jay and Red Cardinal are Senior High School students.
Woodpecker, Duck and Blue Macaw are young adult around 20 - 25 years old. Woodpecker is a solitary young craftsman who lives alone in the forest, Duck is a college student and Blue Parrot is a younger brother of Red Macaw (older brother) as his manager.
Owl, Red Crown Crane, Albatross and Eagle are Legend 4 of Avian Kickboxers.
They have part time job as Avian Kickboxing coach for Junior and Senior High School students at some schools.
Eagle trains Dove and Crow.
Red Crown Crane trains Swallow.
Albatross trains Blue Jay and Red Cardinal.
Owl trains Duck.

I really miss @ThanosReXXX

I used to read a crap ton in middle & high school, but it's rare for me today. I used to love the Redwall & Inheritance series (pictured below), but also enjoyed the occasional Tom Clancy title, and there were a few other "young adult" series I've read but mostly forgotten.

I'd like to read The Inheritance Cycle at some point. I enjoy high fantasy and have heard some really enjoy the series. Some others seem to think it's pretty derivative though. Depends on who I ask.

I saw these beautiful flowers in the morning at my garden.

@MarioLover92 That's cool. Can't count how many times Peach's floating helped me reach the goal in Super Mario 3D World. The very top of the flagpole.

@Tyranexx You're welcome. I think I borrowed the original from a neighbor during the SNES days, but I did play 2 and 3 on rental. There is quite a bit to collect in DK64 IIRC. I played it earlier in the year, but haven't played it recently. I downloaded several old N64 favorites to Wii U, while I still can get them. Also grabbed Pokemon Snap and Super Mario 64.

@Anti-Matter Not the comic book, but I saw that particular anime on a TV last year. Ordered Chinese food at a local restaurant, and they had a TV and it showing that particular anime. Watched a bit while I was waiting for the food to be done, it looked cute.

BTW, those flowers look nice.

@Sunsy The SNES I used to play on belonged to my cousins; my aunt babysat me frequently, with a few breaks, until my parents deemed me old enough to be home alone after school. I have fond memories of playing platformers and reading in my aunt's basement (after homework).

Another reason I grabbed DKC 2 is because it was one of a handful of games I still needed to download off the Wii U eShop before it inevitably closes. I don't want to have to rush to pick up everything once the announcement drops.

@Tyranexx That's cool you were able to play on your cousins' SNES. Similarly, I have memories playing Mario Kart 64 on my cousin's N64. Now I have the game on Wii U as well. I feel the same way, trying to get some of the games off the Wii U eShop before it ever closes.

@Anti-Matter I'll buy those for 3 bells

@HobbitGamer
3 Bells?
For the comic book or the flowers?

@RR529 I remember those Christopher Paolini books. The books were marvelous. I finished Eragon &Eldest back in middle school never read the last in the series for some reason. Looking at that picture of the set has brought back nice childhood memories. Thank you.

Going to order the whole series(and finally finish it), just to lose myself.

its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

@ogo79 This looks like its right from the Fallout games.

so this was a test actually.
i was gonna start my own burger joint and secretly buy these canned burgers, open them and serve them to my customers. its fast service because i wouldnt have to cook or assemble the burgers. they would be in eager hands in no time.
@Zuljaras @Link-Hero
well there goes two potential customers.
tough crowd

@ogo79 Just wait a little for some apocalyptic events and you will be one of the richest people in the new wasteland with that "treasure"

@Zuljaras
if this isnt an apocalypse going on right now i dont know what is.
however, i appreciate the optimistic business standpoint.
you should come work for me.
this could be the birth of the stimulus burger combo.
everyone these days needs a side hustle...
