- jammygit 8y agoI feel weird about reading sci fi for free online. I feel like its unnatural and that it should come from used bookstores like god intended. I miss used bookstores, most of the big ones in my city have closed down
- 8bitsrule 8y agoAccording to one online source, 'jammygit', you bought several Phil Dick novels at one of those used bookstores. Maybe that's why you feel 'weird'. I also regret the loss of so many used bookstores ... one of my favorite haunts. We can only try to visit the survivors much more often.
