@lemmy.worldIf you like guns germs and steel, you may also really like the hot zone by Richard Preston. I devoured that like I’ve never devoured a nonfiction book before (I usually think they’re dry)
I’m working my way through some of the more “pop” books. Sarah j maas, “beach reads”.
Honestly they’re all super easy and I finish them in 1-2 days. But I’m shocked at how “THE BEST BOOKS EVER” of this day and age are so downright terrible compared to the best books of like pre-2000s.
Has anyone else noticed that shift?
I can’t give too much advice on sourcing (besides to make friends with the restaurant staff, concert people, or even DND folks near you), but I can speak to the hallucinogen experience for depression.
I micro (sometimes more of a macro) dose 2-4x per year, usually in the summer. I haven’t found it to change my depression at all, outside of the day I trip. That day is an 8 hour giggle fest. Other than that… the subsequent days are the same as before.
I’m sure you’ll have a good time regardless, I’d err on the side of a half or quarter dose vs a true microdose, but definitely don’t expect a magic bullet
I haven’t read ToG yet… just finished ACOTAR… and I agree, it’s terrible, but imho it’s terrible the same way that “love is blind” is, and I can’t get enough of either. It’s a whole dang pendulum swing away from Hugo award winners though that’s for sure.
This might be basic, but a cold shower before bed is seriously helpful. Heck even a cold shower if you’re too hot to sleep at 3am. Wet skin + a fan and I’ll be cold even at 90F
