I mainly listen to Metal, alternative and classic rock. But I also enjoy my country music. But bands, I'd say Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Flyleaf, Bon Jovi, and The Lacs.

My current favorites are Machine Girl, Death Grips, and Sunny Day Real Estate.

For more happy, cute music I recommend DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ and Kero Kero Bonito, they're make really good electronic music!

I used to have a very high death rate, right along an ever higher safety rating and despite "lost in wilderness" and "old age" being my only causes of death, which was pretty weird, but it has since resolved itself. Not sure if there are any other noteworthy stats.

Nehatachi (for some reason) is within the top 1% of countries in regards to the fishing industry, and top 10% for agriculture. We’re supposed to be a country built on scientific advancement, but apparently Nehatachians really like to fish and farm.

It would either be a political manifesto if I ever get around to getting involved with polititcs, or a character driven sci-fi novel that is more focused on philosophical stuff. I technically have plans for both, but the intention to make neither, at least right now.

Most likely an all-encompassing meteorology book of California (in depth look at climatology, historical events, and local forecasting techniques throughout the state). If I ever actually write this, it probably won’t be for a very long time (20+ years). I am going to be studying meteorology in college starting 2021, but until I have enough time and money to devote to such a project, it won’t happen.

Well, there actually is quite a bit to go on already, I have a lot of conceptual documents for the worldbuilding, as well as some concrete things and a few short stories. But I‘m not really sure if a book would be the best medium for it, feels like it’s a bit too reliant on having a narrative structure.

It totally feels wrong for me to use this, simply because one of the ideas behind this game is to simulate this dilemmas and let you react to them in your way, forming a nation that would represent your ideology. Sometimes the dilemmas are a bit strange, or it feels like the results doesn't fit your answer. But using a website for the results shouldn't be the right way.

No idea what an absolute favourite would be tbh... lotta good ones out there. Listened to what was available of Dominic Sandbrook's series on modern Britain recently, those books are very good. The ones I listened to in that are;

-State of Emergency: The Way We Were: Britain, 1970-1974

-Who Dares Wins: Britain, 1979-1982

Hmm that's a tough one. I read a lot of good books. The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini was really good. You know what, I'll just start listing good books/series. Troy by David Gemmell is a very awesome take on the Trojan War as a more realistic thing, and aside from that just a really good historical fiction novel. The Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne by Brian Staveley are some really really good books too. Features a lot of great fantasy components and is just all around awesome. The Hobbit is a classic but I still want to mention that I love it. Phillip Pullman's Mortal Instruments Series is also worth a read. Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass Series is another example of a great fantasy series. Artemis Fowl was a really good take on Urban Fantasy in that it's basically Science Fiction but with elves and dwarves and pixies but not in the normal ways either. I hear there's a movie coming out too. Shad Brooks, who is the proprietor of a great YouTube channel called Shadiversity that is just an amazing historical/medieval channel that I've watched for years recently wrote a book called Shadow of the Conqueror. That one was very good. And the NPO's very own Marina wrote two books, one of which I am currently reading and enjoying very much: The Long Way Home. I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot but all of those are awesome. Highly recommend.

You know for some reason I had never heard of Discworld before Red from Overly Sarcastic Productions recommended it. But that reminds me. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is pretty good and American Gods by Neil Gaiman is just utterly fantastic.

Yeah, Good Omens is pretty decent, although I personally prefer the Discworld, mostly because TP is a really good worldbuilder and the Discworld itself is just full of interesting concepts and ideas.

I´d recommend the Rincewind books as a starting point, they were my entry into the Discworld and they are quite well suited to be the introduction as the touristy nature of the events presents large parts of the world and its more out-there places, (although many of those places are microcosms themselves with books that focus on their internal workings), but the books explain a lot of things about how the world works.

Terry Pratchett has some good stuff!

Tbh I'm considering rereading all of those.

Interesting. I'll consider it.

I don’t have a single favourite book anymore. But books I’d recommend are any Discworld Novel by Terry Pratchett of course,

The Vegetarian by Han Kang,

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho,

Le Petite Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery,

Blindness By José Saramago,

And The Stolen Bicycle by Wu Ming-Yi.

There’s plenty more I’d recommend too, but I thought maybe I’ll keep the list pretty short.

I would of done that if you would or would have said it. It’s just a pretty good act.

Favourite:

Xu Bing's Book from the Ground: From point to point

It is written only using emojis and it is very much legible and fun. You have to be a bit more actively reading, but it is worth the effort.

And an antirecommendation:

Farenheit 451

Surprisingly, I found this one extremely boring. It is a grind until the last chapter when the pace picks up a bit. In addition to this, it doesn't present any groundbreaking ideas.

If you do want a good dystopian novel, that addresses the themes Farenheit 451 and more and isn't as boring, I would recommend 1984.

I have tried to endorse everyone that i can, but if there is anyone that i missed please let me know.
