1984 — George Orwell

1984 -- George OrwellThis is a book that i used for typing practice over at TypeLit.

It’s rather an enjoyable way to read a book, while at the same time being incredibly useful in improving ones typing.

Quite a good read, but so dystopian, and the ending wasn’t what i was hoping for.   It does remind me of just how lucky i am to live in a country where we have the freedoms that we do, and how important it is to ensure those freedoms aren’t eroded by anyone.   It is up to all of us to ensure that those freedoms are exercised sensibly, with consideration of other sentient beings and, ultimately, that the boundaries of those freedoms are continuously tested and where possible, extended.

So well worth a read or a type for everyone.

Not the easiest of books to type as it has sooooo many capitalised words, uncommon words, and also words that just don’t exist outside of this book: which while adding up to great typing practice, can be really frustrating at times.

Let’s Get Together — Isaac Asimov

Let's Get Together -- Isaac AsimovThis is in the collection, The Complete Robot.

A fairly “meh” story.   If you can’t guess what’s going on long before you’re told in the story then you’re a bit lacking in something.

But, one has to read the whole of the robot stories so one just has to accept that there’s going to be the odd one that just lacks somewhat and just get on and read it.

Next up is going to be, The Tercentenary Incident.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — Robert Louis Stevenson

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -- Robert Louis StevensonThis is a book that i used for typing practice over at TypeLit.

It’s rather an enjoyable way to read a book, while at the same time being incredibly useful in improving ones typing.

And this book is a really good book to read as well as type.   One of the absolute classics, but, sadly, one that most people have never read.

Well worth a read or a type for everyone.

Anyways, i typed this shortly after i built my 5t4n5-48 Rev 1, which was quite some time ago now, but it’s never too late to get things posted.

And here’s how i managed back then . . .

I’ll get around to adding some more as i complete them, but for now, this is a good measure of where i was at back in April.
