So, I was thinking of buying a book for a person. But I don't read much myself, I really enjoy reading, but.. I don't know. Don't have time/lazy.

Since we have a Writer's Corner here in this forum I'm sure there are alot of people here that could recommend me some books.

I know that this person likes the Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl and Piratika series. But since I don't read much, I don't know any similar books. The book shouldn't be too similar, like it would be a copy, just a book that follows the genre.

I was actually thinking of His Dark Materials trilogy.

Edit: No, don't recommend Twillight.

So you would say this person is a big fan of Magic/Fantasy genre? From the looks of it, I would suggest going for a classic that many argue the magic books today stole from. The Earthsea Series. Its somewhat older (well not the newest books in the series) but the first comes from the 60s (1968) which is A Wizard of Earthsea

I personally like A Wizard of Earthsea the best in the series just because the consequence of breaking the rules of magic and shadow or "dead" beings interest me. It starts off a little bit slow but picks up a lot.

So that's what I could think of that isn't too mainstream but still follows the theme you are asking for.

if your friend likes the artemis fowl series, ask him to check out the other books by Eoin. The Supernaturalists for one.

The best fictional book ever:

Mr. Norrel & Jonthan Strange
It is the story about two mages in the ages of 1800-1900, that are the only 2 persons on earth with magical powers. But, their are not overpowered, just a little. The book is about they trying to rescue the soul of a lady who was revived by a magical creature that tortures her every night (psicologycal torture, she makes her stay all night wake up because she is he guest in a big magical party)

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
