I fall asleep and drop them on my nose
You read with the device held in the air the whole time? My arms would die.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

well, the arm is braced on a pillow, then I drift off and I lose my grip, then bonk.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I am so lazy I want to figure out a way to make my nook flip the pages automatically at certain intervals. Then I could have it propped outside the covers and keep my arms underneath.

I believe this is why the "snuggie" and "slanket" were invented...

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"
Amazon has a bunch (all?) of Andre Norton's Kindle editions for free/cheap. Some are sets of collected works, some are individual titles.

A bunch of those are already in the public domain, so there's no reason to pay for the bundled ones. I only found four of the free ones which aren't also on Project Gutenberg.

I grabbed a bunch off Gutenberg, but I didn't keep them. The early stuff is very pulp, and I find I don't have a taste for the tropes, not even from a Grand Master.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anyone got any recs for good steampunk for my BFF, who has apparently just discovered it?
